Failure

In response to Mrs. Stevens blog,

As a student, I veiw failure as being on of the worst things to happen. I am one of those student's that thinks when they fail an assignment or a test, they stay in a bad mood for the rest of the day. I can't stand failing. It makes me feel like I can't be a success.
 As a teacher, I view failure as not being able to be a good role model towards your students. If I can't make my students understand what I am trying to explain to them, then I feel like I have failed as a teacher trying to get my point across to them.
In my honest opinion, I dont think grades are a factor of knowledge. Grades a just a way for teachers to show their students how they are doing in their class. So yes, they are a small factor of knowledge, but the main facor is "How am I learning this material, and will it be helpful for me in the future?"
Being unsuccessful would definitely give me some perspective, and encourage me to try harder in class. If I were stuck in a situation where I was being very unsuccessful, and I needed to bring my grades up, I would definitely choose the more successful rate. I would rather take the more challenging, successful road, than the road that leads me to failure.

How do you handle criticism? Well, to answer that question, I handle criticism in a couple different ways. I will either take it as constructive criticism, and use to to get better. Then there are other times where I will take the criticism as something negative, and I will focus on the negative throughout the day. A majority of the time, I will try to make things better.
