It always amazes me that there is a certain segment of teachers who refuse to be adults. My friend has a sister who used to teach and she was the one who clued me in on this. She would say "I love my sister- but I don't care what Johnny and Susie are doing this week." Yeah, we all talk about work, but I got the impression that it was a little too involved in terms of being gossipy. Rather than leading by example, they try to be peers in an attempt to relate , and that is not the job. I am not advocating for a return to slapping kids upside the head - that is a different problem of leading through fear, butI think that is really the missing element. A lack of leadership by example for the students.
When I was a senior in HS, one semester I had the local Democratic mayor who taught government. Nice guy but would go off on rants about the GOP. The next semester I had Mrs. B. Mrs. B played devil's advocate and never revealed her personal beliefs. At the end of the semester, I remember the class trying to get her to say who she was 'for". She just smiled serenely. She was the better teacher.
Nice. When I was in school, teachers just don't talk about others. Teachers might say something like going fishing this weekend or why he/she chose not to have children but never gossip.
It's wonderful.
