what right do people have to compare and judge me as a PERSON, when they intend to do so merely as a student.

what steps are we taking, if any, to ensure that young children do not come away from being judged and compared, feeling like they themselves as a PERSON, feeling worthless?

sometimes, to me at least, it felt, (it’s a little hard to remember, honestly) that when I was little, that when people “labeled” me, labeled me adhd and a problem child…. that they were saying that I was a bad person and was invalid, did not deserve to be loved, much less be happy, much less have anything to offer people.

that surely had a lot (everything, in fact) to do with “the home environment” and it’s “dysfunctional tendencies” yes.

people really should just “care” more, “care enough”, and I’m talking about educators.

it’s not as if young students are just OBJECTS, to be employed some day; they are people and they have feelings and they won’t make it that far if they feel this way.

so, let’s educate “carefully” and “label” carefully, shall we?
