You got involved in Government schools. Then you tried to actually educate someone. I’m afraid you made two mistakes.
Always remember Muhammad Ali’s great rule of life: Never try to smarten up a chump.
Man , you got that right. I’ve been out of education for about 30 years. I just tried to teach like I did 30 years ago. Man, it is different now. Nobody cares about grades, just affirmation stamps. You’re supposed to compliment them on everything from going to the bathroom to blowing their nose. I’m pretty discouraged right , now, I tried to inspire students like the move “Stand and Deliver” and all I got was racism thrown back in my face. I might just get a part time job at Costco, instead.
