"The Top 10 Worst Things a Teacher Can Do" by secondary teacher Melissa Kelly, offers wise advise for new teachers - advice that has pierced my heart because I myself have just committed one of those worst crimes towards a student.
My comment is candid. I share about the mistake that I made in my classroom recently, and the lesson that I learned from it. It relates painfully precisely to what Melissa Kelly writes about in her educational blog article. This comment will hopefully contribute to the experiences of other teachers to reaffirm the fact that humiliating students is a terrible way to discipline them. My personal example conveys my regret and hope for rebuilding that bridge that I feel I have torn down.
The comment has not yet been published on Kelly's blog, so I have posted it below. I would love to hear what YOU think is the worst thing that a teacher can do? Feel free to respond to the blog post below.
