My Final Reactions to Fires

Fires in the Bathroom was an interesting read. It really got me to think about the students in my classroom and what they are dealing with in their daily lives. Having been in the classroom working with students I know that you never are really prepared for what you may hear or learn. I have learned a lot about students, and it is apparent that a teacher has to expect the unexpected in his or her classroom. There are so many aspects of a students life that come through in a classroom, but there are also a lot of things that are hidden. Teachers need to be willing to accept students where they are at and for who they are without judgment. A large amount of flexibility is always needed when working with students.
