This chapter of Fires in the Bathroom was all about how to support students and encourage them to succeed, without putting stress and high expectations on them. Most of the students that were included in this chapter talked about one particular teacher that really encouraged them to succeed and gave the necessary push and tools in order to have the success that they previously hadn't been able to reach. This chapter also talked about what the teacher can do in the classroom in order to promote success for all the students.
My favorite part of this chapter was the part at the end about grades, praise and incentive. It really reminded of what we had talked about previously, with motivation. I think it's super important to give students grades and feedback that encourages them to do more, not have them shut down if they aren't happy with the feedback and grades that they are getting. And while, it's important for students to find motivation within themselves, finding a way to praise students that will only encourage them to work harder is something I think is super important.
