Reflection

Today's discussion was interesting. I liked how you called on other people to speak up but I didn't like how I felt like at that time I couldn't retaliate to what people were saying just because it was time for the not-so-talkative students. I think that since they were caught off guard, they just said the first thing that came to their mind. I guess that since I want to become a first grade teacher, I am a bit bias but still! I don't understand why everyone is so against teacher unions?! Like I was telling the people around me, there will always be a few people that will give the whole group a bad impression (ie: our mosque discussion and how people are Islamaphobic) but you can't forget that there are so many great teachers being overlooked. To me, the teacher union is run by people that want to dedicate their lives to teaching children. Why else would they be teachers? I don't like having to talk over people. I have so much to say and there are never really any moments to speak because people all start then they go off the subject that I was wanting to talk about. At one point though I had it and just had to yell what I wanted to say. I didn't care anymore about talking over anyone else. I really do like our discussions. I think we need more. I like feeling heard by a group of people. I'm looking forward to our next class discussion.
