Week 2 Reading - Chapters 4-6
I love the story about the woman throwing the starfish back into the sea and the man telling her it is pointless because there are so many of them. This story can be applied towards teaching. Realistically, a teacher isn't going to be able to touch or change every single student. But even just changing one, or helping one student, is better than none at all.

I am glad that you wrote about the woman and the starfish. I had previously heard about this while I was a counselor and I think that it applies to the field of education as well. Sometimes we may think that our jobs as teachers are overwhelming and that we can't possibly make a difference due to lack of resources or a student's economical disadvantages or learning disability; but just like the woman~ if we can in fact make an impact in the life of just ONE student, then we have done our job. I am sure that you are doing your part~Nice post! ;)
