The reality is that in current economic environment teachers need to be ready for anything. We will encounter heartbreaking situations where we might feel hopeless facing hardship and even pain in our students' eyes. If we could only help the students forget for a moment, if we could only reinstate their faith in a better day, if we could only help them feel safer and more secure for a moment, we did our job. It boils down to what a teacher effectively can do alleviate hardship. The answer is not easy but we have to do our best.
I do not know if there is an ideal classroom out there. All I know is that today I have to do a better job than yesterday, gathering enough student feedback and data to know that my next class will be better tomorrow.
