Frustrated.

When it comes to education matters, I get frustrated. Especially in reaching out to those teachers who are no longer feel as committed as they used to be. Working here means to change those teachers' attitudes. Changing perceptions. Wonderful people here are so wise and patient in dealing with these teachers. The choice is up to me now: to be angry at these teachers or to patiently help them change their beliefs and perceptions of teaching?

Instead of complaining at ALL times, why dont we ask ourselves:
-What's useful here?
-What can I learn?
-What am I responsible for?
-What's possible?
-What's best to do now?
Being judgmental and lazy, we pleasure ourselves in these questions:
-What's wrong with them?
-Why are they so stupid?
Back to my question up there, I choose the latter. I choose to change their attitudes, no matter how painful it will be.
And it will be soon, before I know it.
