Yesterday, I met a (public school?) teacher, who tried to ask me, about public vs private school, presumably she want more support for public school.
I simply told her that teachers are backbone of our society; and, as long as she know her responsibility, I would be even willing to write a blank check to her.
But, she claimed she knows her responsibility, and further adamantly asked me the same question over and over.
Well, I don’t think she understood me that “responsibility” is not only as a teacher but also as a citizen.
I did not want to argue further and push her in the corner; so, I stopped answering.
But, I am sure she still thinks she deserved answer and won the argument.
This is one reason why we all need to improve our emotional health; and professionals are no exception.
