Dear Future Teacher,
DO NOT
FORCE SHY KIDS
TO TALK.
DO NOT TELL
SHY KIDS THAT
THEY NEED TO PARTICIPATE MORE.
DO NOT MAKE
PARTICIPATION
A GRADE.
DO YOU HAVE
ANY IDEA HOW
HARD IT IS FOR
SOME STUDENTS TO
JUST RAISE THEIR HANDS?
FORCING THEM INTO GROUP
PROJECTS AND MAKING THEM TALK
DOES NOT 'TEACH THEM TO BE
SOCIAL AND DEVELOP INTO WELL-
ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS".
IT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.
AND MAKES THEM HATES SCHOOL.
SERIOUSLY.
COLLEGES TOO.
THERE IS NO REASON TO REQUIRE
A PARTICIPATION GRADE.
IF I'M MAKING 90's ON ALL OF MY TEST,
IT MEANS I KNOW THE DAMN
THING YOU THOUGHT.
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCE
SHOULD LOWER MY GRADE 10%
JUST BECAUSE I DIDNT
TALK ENOUGH.
I SWEAR IF I GET
ANOTHER 'B' IN A CLASS THAT
I EXCELLED IN JUST BECAUSE
I DIDNT FEEL LIKE RAISING MY
HAND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
I MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL YOU.
