1 thought on “The Proof is in the Pudding”
We should all strive to communicate, first and foremost, kindness and compassion to our students when it comes to assessment. We can’t get out of evaluating them, because of all the sheer ignorance about how languages are acquired around us in our buildings, but we can at least show kindness to the kids. There is no one among us who shows greater kindness to her students than Sabrina. Kindness during the lesson is not something that we award degrees in, since it is of the heart and not of the mind, but if it were, Sabrina would have the PhD. One might ask on this subject, “Which is better, to be smart or to be kind when we teach our kids?” Indeed, why would we be in teaching in the first place if kindness were not the most important thing we would want to be sharing with children as they grow up? In my opinion kindness is the only thing that children are looking for in their teachers. It is why I use stories and not the old stuff. If we are kind to our students, then they will learn.
