Chapter 4

This chapter didn't bring any true realizations to me. Except maybe about not praising students. I guess I never really thought about it, but when I was a student I hated receiving praise inf ront of everyone, I felt like it set me apart. Not all students want to be set apart fromt he peers, most just want to fit in. I like how the book shows that and stresses not leaving students out and making sure that students are involved. I used to hate it when I would miss a class and students would be able to talk about the last class and whatever and I just wanted to get to the next lesson so I would have an idea as to what was going on. When it talks about grades it makes me think of one of my teachers. My teacher used to post all of the grades up for everyone to see. It used to bother me, I woulkd get higher marks and I felt like it set me apart.
