Comprromises

Talking about compromising students' education is about the most notorious Y junction for most educators in our system today. The curriculum wants you to do something but you have 34 students in front of you who cry out 34 different needs every period. It is now left to you to decide as a professional which way to go.

On a daily basis I make decisions on whether to go right or left as I teach. Sometimes when the administrator comes in to obeserve, what is going on is different from the lesson plans but I know inside of me that my first loyalty is to the children. We all do this so that we meet our students' needs as we avoid compromising education.
