Why do teachers ask students to give their opinions?
Our job is to teach students the art of argument and to give feedback on how they express themselves—not what they express. Every teacher knows that kids love to give their opinions. Opinions end up getting shared whether you’re asking for them or not. Sometimes they’re yelled out in class, and other times they’re shared through assignments.
What happens if you don’t get along in the classroom?
However, if you don’t get along, they can also be one of the biggest sources of frustration and tension. Disagreements can lead to you undermining each other in the classroom and creating an environment that lacks cooperation and openness.
Is your co-teacher frustrated with you?
Your co-teacher doesn’t want to work or teach in a negative environment, either. She may be just as frustrated as you are, and just as clueless as to what to do about it. Remember that both of you have the kids’ best interests at heart, and it’s in the kids’ best interest for you to work together as a team.
