This chapter was short, so I don't have any talking points, instead I'm just going to reflect on the book in general. While I like the messages, I find myself constantly wondering how I'm supposed to live up to the standards of a good teacher. Ultimately this book has left me feeling woefully inadequate as an educator, and ill equipped both by my district, and the public school system in general, to give my students the support they need. I really hope this is just part of the new teacher learning curve, but it feels like I would need a whole 40 hours just to prepare and be an effective teacher, but all I have is a few hours a few nights a week.
