Teachers are hard to change (or are they?)
Talking to teachers isn’t easy. Not because they aren’t approachable, but because they have years of experience that we, as young adults, often feel we can’t challenge. How do you tell someone who has spent decades in a classroom that the world they’ve taught in is changing? That the students they see today are different from the ones they taught five or ten years ago? That their instincts, shaped by years of experience, might need a shift?
It’s uncomfortable. It’s intimidating. But it’s necessary.
