Blog #3: So What

The feeling of acceptance. This is a very big pressing issue its not just in the classrooms with the students but the teachers also. To feel like your welcome and wanted for the way you think or act in a classroom is something that has been a problem for a while now. Students are getting judged by they're ability of test scores then they're knowledge in real life. I have always been one to know that there is no test score that will define a students progression in school. Nobody should be looked at that way or be defined by that. I think students can better from a test or two to test out they're memorization skills but to put them out of they're comfort zones to tell them that can't go onto another level or be included with the rest of their class because of their incompletion of a test. I have always had anxiety and really bad test taking methods that have bothered me but I knew that the system would hold me back if I didn't do my best on this test. I worked so hard to be the best student that would get me to the school I'm at now. Its not the best situation but its a start into the career path I want. I want to help students understand that test are apart of life and even tho the system might be messed up its something you have to deal with and try to put your all into. This will shape my thinking into a classroom by doing that and helping to give good study skills as much as I can. Its tough to not always feel accepted but sometimes being the odd one out teaches you individuality. I always thought I was different and it worked for me maybe it will for others.
