A student once asked me, “Mr. Martin, why do you care so much about us?”
I guess I need to put this question into context. My class (as a whole) had just done horribly on one of my tests. After apologizing for letting them down as their teacher and for obviously not preparing them properly, I used the entire class period to solicit suggestions on improving my teaching methods.
It was obvious to my students that I was really disappointed in myself as a result of their performance. In other words, they could see I was taking it personally.
After vowing to do better and to dedicate myself even more to helping them improve their efforts, one of my students asked the question, “Why do you care so much about us?”
The question was implying that I was taking their failure too personal. But I couldn’t see how I could take it any other way; I consider their success my success, and I consider their failure, well…you know.
