After reading the article on fear and humiliation I have realized that this is a major part of learning. We need to learn to get over our fears and the fact that we might be humiliated to accomplish the things that we need to do in life. If we never get over our fears then we will not grow as humans. We will sit idly by and watch others who are fearless get the things that we deserve. Same goes for teaching, I know that it is hard not to be nice but sometimes we have to push and be mean because we care and want to see these students succeed. I know that we can not make students go places that they do not want to go but we have to try. We have to push them, make them see that they need the material and the lessons to get by in life successfully. But then there are those times that we need to stop force feeding them and let them fend for themselves, because as much as we want to believe it, there will be those times that we are alone and we have to do it ourselves. That goes for school, work, and life. Its a tough world and as teachers we need to prepare our students for that. We can make learning fun but it also has to be serious.
