As a teacher, we shouldn’t just be throwing information to our students. Frank McCourt points out the significance of working along with the students to guide them with empathy in classrooms, just like how he did in his English class. By thinking in the students’ shoes, we can try to create an experience where students are able to connect to the learning material. In the context of math, we frequently hear negative voices of students on how math is scary and too hard. If we as teachers can try to understand and resonate with their fear and struggles, maybe that could lead to a positive classroom where students are motivated to try multiple times and not scared to make mistakes.
