In younger grades our students see us as superheroes, they look up to their teachers and see them as these non-realistic people that live at the school and do nothing but teach. It doesn't matter your race, home life, or gender they just see you as their teacher, we do not show them our behind the scenes. No matter how we are feeling, if we are had a bad morning, or whatever is going on outside of our classrooms, we as teachers do not let us effect the way we let our students see us. Teachers truly are the best actors they get to school every morning and put on a mask of enthusiasm until every student has left that classroom for the day.
In younger grades students do not understand that we have other things going on in our lives but as they get older and into upper elementary grades those students start to see your life outside of class and appreciate you in a new light. We still go into class putting everything else behind us but the students now see us with new superpowers of multi-tasking.
"Yeah, there's days where I complain. And the people I complain to think I'm insane because I haven't left this place. But these kids deserve better." -Sara Carter
