Another reason I am so glad I'm retired. I vividly remember reading one student's comment: "All semester I've thought how great you would look if you would only let me give you a makeover!"
I’m a retired teacher. The school that I worked for used “an instrument” for evaluation that had so much in it that you felt that even at your best you wouldn’t meet the standards set up in it. Maybe if you were a robot. Anyway… I learned to do my best for my students and turn off that noise.
Also ableist! I’m Deaf and had a student complain that I couldn’t hear them trying to get my attention when they raised their hand…I was trying to let people other than her answer questions.
