As teachers, we hate to see our students struggle more than they need to. Often the struggle helps them learn but it often frustrates them. As I look at how we have taught in the past and I see how the children struggle to pass the state tests I realize it is time for us, the teachers, to be the change and struggle a little and find a new way to teach. It is frustrating sometimes to try new things, but often in the process we can learn a better way to help the kids learn. As frustrating as it is to come up with new and creative ways to teach, it is what the kids NEED. They NEED our fresh ideas, creative projects and new approaches to teaching...or else some of them don't stand a chance! We can't be the ones to stand in their way, we are their hope..time to pull out a new bag of tricks!
