Being Optimistic!

I really enjoyed this blog and agree with everything that Mr. McClung had to say. Teachers cannot and do not have the right to set limitations on their students goals. The sky is the limit in education and as teachers, we must believe that ALL of our students have the ability to academically succeed. Everyone knows SOMETHING. Teachers must find each students talents, consider students goals, and then motivate them to push for those goals. Teachers serve as role models for their students and if they are pessimistic and negative towards students' abilities, then students will also be negative about their abilities. We must serve as optimistic figures for our students and encourage them to reach for their goals.
