Ooh, this looks like fun!
One teacher of mine was told from the higher ups that she couldn’t “mechaneches” me because she was being too harsh. (She probably was. Only time in my life I was kicked out. I wasn’t paying attention.) She was one of those teachers who taught because it was a nice thing to do not because she was a “born teacher” type. (I think in recent years she has lightened up.)
A different teacher decided to make me her Chessed case for the year (not needed, not wanted). At least it makes a good story today.
(blabla, to show you the other side of the coin, she was one of the teachers who went way too far with the “story at home” thing.)
I really do appreciate having had some of these people though, they’re perfect examples of what a teacher should not do.
Just to balance things out, I have had my share of amazing teachers, some who I still keep in loose contact with. I think it comes down to the fact that they are not just good teachers but good people.
I’m trying to picture a 9 year old pba.
