2. READING 20

Read the following fragment taken from the TED Talk "Every kid needs a champion" by Rita Pierson and
answer the questions with complete sentences and critical thinking:

(...) James Comer says that no significant learning can occur without a significant
relationship. George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding relationships.
Everyone in this room has been affected by a teacher or an adult. For years, I have
watched people teach. I have looked at the best and I've look at some of the worst.

A colleague said to me one time, "They don't pay me to like the kids. They pay me to
teach a lesson. The kids should learn it. I should teach it. They should learn it. Case
closed".

Well, I said to her, "You know, kids don't learn from people they don't like".

She said, "That's just a bunch of hooey".

And I said to her, "Well, your year is going to be long and arduous, dear".

Needless to say it was. Some people think that you can either have it in you to build a
relationship or you don't. I think Stephen Covey had the right idea. He said you ought
to just throw in a few simple things, like seeking first to understand as opposed to
being understood, simple things like apologizing. You ever thought about that? Tell a
kid you're sorry, they're in shock.

(...) I have had classes that were so low, so academically deficient that I cried. I
wondered, how am I going to take this group in nine months from where they are to
where they need to be? And it was difficult. It was awfully hard. How do I raise the
self-esteem of a child and his academic achievement at the same time?

One year I came up with a bright idea. I told all my students, "You were chosen to be
in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students, they put us
all together so we could show everybody else how to do it".
