“I believe that we can influence our students to break common stereotypes and transform into better citizens.” (Büşra Nur Kut, May 18)
“Not all students can encourage themselves to read unless we promote reading by our own experiences and talking about its benefits. Another important thing is we should give feedback on their tasks. While giving feedback it is important to be positive and supportive. Otherwise, students can easily get demotivated and we will no longer be able to sustain their motivation.” (Zeynep Türkyılmaz, April 28)
“Students enjoy reading when you give them a purpose and of course, the subject of the story is another important issue. The subject must be engaging for them and it can change with the learner's age. Teachers must be careful with selecting these. (Buse Akgüneş, April 30)
“I find teaching reading skills difficult because students tend to avoid reading, so it is difficult to encourage and excite students to read. Therefore, I think fanfiction may help overcome this problem.” (Elif Boran, May 10)
“One of the biggest mistakes that the teachers make is that they put their students in the same spot, therefore, judge them by only looking at their academic performance.” (Emre Sobacı, May 10)
“In the first discussion, I said that teachers build the future. However, they do not only build but can also gently erase the wrongly built pathways from the future.” (Nazlı İrem Meriçli, May 11)
“I am and will be extra careful about making assumptions and having first impressions about people. Every person has a different story, character, different defense mechanisms for what they've been through. “ (Gökçe Gök, May 10)
“The whole education system is based on the assumption that students can progress as they age. The system cannot detect their readiness. Therefore, teachers might think that students are at the same level of learning or thinking. However, there are many components such as values, culture, social, educational or economic background in shaping their thinking skills.” (Bersu Güler, May 15)
“Teachers who have been working for a long time with students can expect the same things from them. Even though these expectations can be right we cannot be sure what expects us in the future. If we think each student is the same we would be wrong and cannot see their true potentials.” (Zeynep Türkyılmaz, May 15)
