I was at an education seminar a couple weeks ago and an administrator read this poem.
"Responsibility"
We live in a world in
which we need to share
responsibility.
It's easy to say it's
not my child,
not my community,
not my world,
not my problem.
Then there are those
who see the need and
respond. I consider
those people
my heroes.
-Fred Rogers
It s amazing to look at the world and see all the problems going on, and its easy to look into the schools and see the students with a lot of problems going on. This poem really made me think of why I want to be a teacher. After the administrator read this poem I looked around at all the other teachers and other administrators and saw people whipping their eyes. It takes a shared responsibility from everyone to fix problems going on in this world and also the problems going on with our students.
Maybe if everyone would take on a little more responsibility we could get more accomplished!
ReplyDeleteEspecially in the world right now, everyone needs to take more responsiblity for their actions and to see how their actions affect people around them. I am sure the world would be a better place.
