ABSTRACT

The very best teachers agree that attitude is everything! One of the main things that separate the not-so-good from the good from the great teachers is simply attitude.

We have all been treated in ways that we wish we had not. We may have relatives, coworkers, supervisors, or neighbors who are unpleasant to be around. Any time we are near them, we feel on guard and try to protect ourselves from their next cutting remark. It seems that their main goal in life is to make everyone else as unhappy as they are. Sadly, some of these people become teachers, and each of us has known at least one or two. What’s really frightening is that negative people don’t know they’re negative!
