Reality vs Reality

The conflict arises when two realities (our students and ours) are in conflict. If there is going to be any meaningful and productive outcome from all our efforts for the school year, both realities according to Judith must gravitate towards a consensus. Anything contrary to this will be disastrous.

I think there has to be a consideration for my reality to influence my students' realities to an extent in view of the fact that I'm an adult and that I have more experience in life. Subsequently I see myself taking better and more informed decision than them. 

There has to be an advantage for putting teachers in the classroom due to the fact that they have passed through the same experience students are now passing through.
