School

Does anyone find it weird when a teacher emails your parent about your progress? Not telling the kid is just hiding them from the truth, so they can't improve just right. They don't know, because the teachers are too scared to tell the kid to their face. We'll that's just a character flaw of someone who has the responsibility to help us, to tach us, to prepare us for the world where some people are shy in their opinions and others are vocal. How does emailing someone that your related to help burden anything, how does that prepare us for life like the purpose of school. All teachers look for is what they ask for, what about something else notable. Or noteworthy. Something a teacher doesn't look for. Their perspective, their view, their courage in writing something that people didn't agree with.
Thomas Edison was a famous inventor that did three years in school, but quit after some hurtful reparte about his mental capability. But, that didn't stop him, he continued to invent work and use the logic in his heart, not in his head. There are so many people in the world who are afraid of the current, so they stay on shore. But, they can build their surf board or their boat. Which one do you think the leftovers will pick. The safe, easy, smooth boat. Or the curvy, fun, dangerous surfboard. Teachers are told what to look for. But, with their focus on, they miss out on all of the things there told not to look for. They look for errors. They look for machanics, word choice, voice, etc, etc. But, what about beliefs, opinions, affections. The only way for a teacher to be a real teacher is to understand their view and grade them on that, being a teacher isn't a title it's a way.
Abraham Lincoln did play by the rules, until things got a little out of hand. He listened to his advisers not prepared for this big, unexpected, turn of the axis. After a spread out of the comfort zone, out of the expected eyes, out of his teachers (advisers) he made plans for peace. He made plans for equality. it scared others, and it cost him his life. I know what your thinking, that if you will die why should you do that. Well, this is what every cheesy speaker at schools tries to come across. That Abraham Lincoln lived so long ago, but we talk about him. We study him. Psychologists try to understand him.
But, it's just us. You don't have an audience, you don't have a critical looker. But, that is a teacher. They try to show us our mistakes and fix them, but they don't tell us about the good things we do. It's an error line detector. A liscenced teacher is a critical magnified glass, a teacher of life and knowledge, is a news giver good and bad. Understanding and compassionate.
