We want kids to have a "growth mindset" but often forget it's critical to our learning, too. I was in a Facing History workshop yesterday, and we discussed this very scenario, the one where, depending on an entire range of factors that affect dispositions of the humans involved, outcomes could have run the gamut, and as you say altered all the trust-building that had preceded them. Reflection—if we can get to the "after-space" (and know that there is one—always)—is what you've modeled here. Thank you.
Really appreciate this “other side” view. Im glad you were able to get both of these students through these challenges. In thoughtfully working through challenges, we learn so much more and deepen classroom culture. Thanks Mr Luther. 🍎
I had a challenging day with a student on Wednesday as well, something I couldn't shake all night. But then on Thursday, he was a model student and we had a good chat about what happened.
This happens so often - a terrible day (or moment) followed by a good one.

Appreciate this so much! Love your point about the "after-space" particularly.

The timing of this is perfect. I needed a reminder that my bad days can result in unreasonable consequences for my students. Thank you!
