I'll admit it isn't always easy to love everyone all the time. There is always that one kid that gets on your nerves. Or the one who tattles constantly. Or the perfect child whose parent pushes you to the edge. But you have a choice. Let bitterness, fatigue, differing opinions eat away at you or hang on to hope and teach with love.
We have too much anger. Too much division. Too much "my way or the highway." We can keep pushing for our agenda. We can keep pushing for all of our students to agree with us. Or we can show them sportsmanship and compassion. Love in action. We can show them that people of differing opinions can work together and respect each other. We can show our students that we love regardless of ethnicity, politics, or religion.
Regardless of what we are called, facilitators, guides, or teachers, we lead our children. We model for them. They look up to us. They depend on us. We can't let them down. Have we? Some news reports indicate that teachers are falling into the political arena in order to convert their students. This is unacceptable. We may not agree with our students or their parents political affiliations, but have to respect them. That is what is wrong with our nation. No one is being a good sport. We're all acting like a bunch of sore losers. And entitled brats. We don't even treat each other with respect. What kind of lesson are we teaching our kids?
I don't know about you, but I'd rather my kids learned to love and respect others regardless of what they believe, what they look like, or if they agree. I don't want my kids to learn hate. Not from me.
