My name Kristopher Wallaert, and I have a heart for purposeful leadership that I believe can only be obtained through selflessness and service. I do not believe in leadership as a title or position, but rather a way of life. The purpose of this blog is to encourage and challenge people to assess their effectiveness as leaders and reflect on how they might become better, more purposeful leaders. The attitude and actions of leadership is not static, but is constantly changing overtime. I hope you enjoy this blog, and I invite you to like and comment on anything you read.

The Classroom Is Not Your Stage!

Posted Sunday, December 22, 2019, at 2:14 PM

Too many times I have read, heard, or seen someone accusing a teacher, or teachers, of “indoctrinating” students. This frustrates me to no end. First, it frustrates me because I know it happens. Second, it frustrates me because it shouldn’t be happening. The classroom is not a place to support, push, or encourage a specific agenda or ideology. The classroom is not a stage for political advancement, nor is it a place to push one’s ideology of what is right or wrong.

The classroom is a sacred place where learning should be happening. It is the job of the teacher to guide students in HOW to think, not WHAT to think. If a student does not believe or think the same way as the teacher, the teacher has no right forcing their opinion or ideology onto the student. It is the job of the teacher to challenge thinking by asking questions. It is the job of the teacher to guide students in using skills that help with critical thinking. The classroom should be a safe place for students to express themselves, their thoughts, and their ideas.

There are times when a student’s thinking may not reflect facts or truth. In these cases, it is the teacher’s responsibility to share the facts, show the truth, and then let the student decide what they want to believe. At no time should a teacher degrade a student for their way of thinking, nor should they be treated any differently. A teacher should ask questions, encourage critical thinking, provide factual evidence, and then allow the student to make their own choices in what to think.

There is a parental role in all of this as well. Those who accuse teachers and the public school system of “indoctrinating” their child, I have one question for you. If you are really that concerned with “indoctrination,” why are you not teaching your child at home in the ways you believe to be right? Or, is there a chance that you need to change the way you think? You see, the majority of teachers do what I just explained above. The majority of teachers do not use their classroom to push agendas or ideologies. The majority of teachers have classroom expectations that reflect kindness, respect, compassion, and empathy...something I see missing in today’s world.

So the question then becomes, what exactly are teachers “indoctrinating” students in? Well, in my classroom I guess I am guilty of “indoctrinating” my students to work hard, never settle for okay, to be kind to everyone, to respect all people, and to live a life of integrity. If this is wrong, then I don’t think I am the one with the problem. Marian Wright Edelman once said, “Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.”

The classroom is not a stage. It is a place to encourage skills that will help students become successful. I want my students to be successful in being hard working, kind, caring, respectful human beings in a ruthless world that is trying to indoctrinate them to be the opposite.

Hello, I'm Rosa Dankert from Bonn, Germany. I want to share our story of how Spyweb cyber was able to recover our stolen Bitcoins. Some weeks ago, my husband and I saw an opportunity to invest in Bitcoins with huge profit returns, and we invested �197,000 in a cryptocurrency exchange platform, while we continue to be patient as they suggested we put in more money but my husband fell sick and couldn�t work, I tried withdrawing our investment but the platform didn�t allow us and requested we pay 15% of our money before we can withdraw. I was depressed and almost lost my life, but I saw a post about Spyweb on Facebook. I did some research about them and found out they have helped many people recover their money from fake cryptocurrency investments. I contacted Spyweb and was able to recover all my money, Spyweb helped us get our life back. I recommend Spyweb cyber to everyone out there.

RECOVERYBUREAU @ CONSULTANT . C0M is the best cryptocurrency/fund recovery and mobile phone cloning agency to help you remotely spy your suspected cheating spouse mobile devices

I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm. I reached out to them on what their contracts are, and I invested $155,000 which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it was time to get my profits, I got to know the company was a scam. They kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience and requested to have my money back and they refused to answer nor refund my funds. . I heard about Recovery Bureau from a golf partner that used his services already and I decided to reach out to him. After explaining my situation and complaints to him, he was swift and took action and within 28 hours he got back my funds back with the due profit. I urge someone in a similar situation to reach out to Recovery Bureau on their support email: RecoveryBureau@consultant.com. They are reliable, trustworthy, affordable and provides excellent services. They offer other services

I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with PRIEST WISDOM.He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. PRIEST WISDOM makes him realize��how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back!
