Reflection:

Part of the conversation between these educators was a subject that may not hit home to any of the college students but is important for educators to remember. They were discussing part of the conference where a speaker asked them to think about whether or not they would teach differently if their OWN children were in the class! They were inspired by the comment and I was intrigued as well. They talked about how there are many reforms in education but that reforming our own attitudes as teachers is important as well. I completely agree and think that keeping in mind that the students in the classroom ARE your children will help educators be more passionate about their teaching. (However, there are some really bad parents that are teachers, so maybe parenting classes are in order as well!)
