Consider the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: You are living your best life until one day when the most horrible headaches of your life begin. Behind your eyes, they cause you pain that makes you double over. Unable to take it any longer, you find yourself at the doctor’s office, where the doctor treats your headache with a bandaid.
Scenario 2: You are living your best life until one day when the most horrible headaches of your life begin. Behind your eyes, they cause you pain that makes you double over. Unable to take it any longer, you find yourself at the doctor’s office, where the doctor asks you several questions and ultimately decides the best treatment is for you to go home, take two Advil and call him in the morning.
Scenario 3: You are living your best life until one day when the most horrible headaches of your life begin. Behind your eyes, they cause you pain that makes you double over. Not able to take it any longer, you find yourself at the doctor’s office where the doctor begins by observing you by taking your blood pressure, listening to your heart, and asking you questions about when your symptoms began. The doctor draws blood with a few tests in mind and sends you to the eye doctor. After digging a little deeper into the data, the doctor finds your headaches caused by a change in your eyesight and adjusts your contacts. Wa-lah! The headaches are gone!
What comparisons can you make between the doctor in these scenarios and what classroom teachers do daily? What comparisons can you make between the patient and students?
