Chapter five starts off with the conductor. The leader or captain of the orchestra. I can see how what weight is put on the conductor they need to convey meaning to the audience without saying a word. I find it interesting that the conductor tends to only think of himself and how others view them than as the whole entire orchestra conductor included is looked at.
I can see how people of high authority have a hard time saying that they are wrong but in truth everyone makes mistakes. I know that people think that they are paid a great deal of money to know and not make mistakes but that is just foolish to believe that we are prefect. I think that if people admit their faults or mistakes than others will have a great respect and understanding for them. I know that for me it is easy to admit that I was wrong but it is in a room of kindergartners but regardless of their age it makes them understand that no one is perfect and that working hard will pay off in the end.
It comes down to the question of "who do we serve?"
ReplyDeleteI do not feel that I am in a position of authority and I hate to admit that I made a mistake. I find that in the classroom it is difficult to let the students know that I don't know everything. Then about a quarter of the way through the school year I find that it gets easier to admit my little discrepancies that pop up in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteI think that teachers are always vulnerable in front of a classroom full of students; however, it is best to let things roll off the back like a drop of water.
