Describe a recent time when you’ve been discouraged with a student’s progress. Have you witnessed a change in the student’s life, or are you still waiting for that change to occur?

There were a couple of students this year that I struggled with…in order to have some testing done, help the parents to understand the struggle, and administration to help. Getting everyone on the same page was a struggle. Still waiting on changes to happen and pray daily for them as they start a new school year.

I had a student who struggled a lot emotionally. His parents believe it to be a chemical imbalance. I have him a lot of grace and prayer. Saw some change but looking forward to more.

I had couple of challenging students during my career of teaching. But I think even if sometime I did struggled to deal with difficult personalities,
I also Know that God helped me to be strong. I believe that God put those children on my path to help them to grow through my Christian examples and prayers. -
The past school year, there was a group of students who struggled to mature and be role models for fellow classmates and students in the school. My prayer is that during their time in coming months, as school approaches, that the Lord would pull them closer to him as he shapes them into his likeness and as they learn to think about the consequences of their actions.

I have not been a teacher very long and only on Zoom so I have not had the opportunity to get to know my students very well. I have been a mother for a very long time and can speak to this issue with my own children. I have 4 kids and they all accepted Christ as their personal savior at young ages and the older two graduated from all Christian schools and the younger two are are still making their way through. The older three have all wrestled with their faith. The older two, especially in college, have not always matched their actions with what they were taught. I pray all the time for all of them and ultimately they have to have their own personal relationships with Christ and wrestle out how to apply it to their lives. My job, at this point, after spending countless hours and years teaching them, is to just be the best example that I can be and interject when they allow it, loving them through it all.
