QR Chapter 5

This chapter is about taking as many students in your class into your perspectives as possible. This becomes very difficult when your trying to look at each student as an individual. In a way it is self contradictory because on one hand it is telling us to look at everyone, and on the other its telling us to look at the individual. It seems to me that making a 50-50 split between the two would be extremely difficult. It is important as a teacher to know your students on an individual basis, but at some point you know that student too well and it stops being a teacher student role and starts being a friend role. This is the type of relationship that hinders educational development. So I think that it is important not to focus on a few students but to focus on the overall learning in the class.
