What jumped out at me most in this chapter were the few comments from students stating that if a teacher doesn’t think you’re smart, they will not call on you or encourage you to do your best work. I’m sure that unfortunately is the case with some teachers, but personally, I strongly disagree with statements such as those. I guess it’s the coach in me that would definitely motivate and encourage students who are not the smartest to do their best. Their poor performance would give me the incentive to push them to work hard to show improvement. Also, if there are students who I am not particularly fond of, I wouldn’t ignore them by any means, I would acknowledge them just as much as any other student because I would not want there to be any bad feelings, I want to be a teacher whom all students like.
