My blog post for this week comes from the blog of one of the people I follow on Twitter Jose Vilson. He posts a response to critics of the article he was featured in about what makes a great teacher. He explains that he foolishly looked into the comments section of his article and found many people complaining. Mostly these people were complaining about teaching being a thankless job and they complain that the teachers being interviewed often leave the profession and become advocates or administrators. He is right that he made a mistake looking into the comment section of the article. 99% of the time the comments section will be full of people who want to complain, rarely do people comment to say anything good. However, I don't agree with the main idea of his article. That is, he is lumping all these people as having one hivemind. The complaints given by these commentors make sense alone, but not when they are lumped together, which is what he has done. I can understand his instruction, he should avoid the malcontents next time.
If this keeps happening...
