, SEMESTER 2 2022 BPT1501 PORTFOLIO
The Teacher and Little Teddy
As Mrs. Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school,
she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and
said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because there
in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs.
Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well
with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a
bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson
would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold
X’s and then putting a big “F” at the top of his papers.
At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child’s
past records and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she reviewed his file,
she was in for a surprise. Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote,
“Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has
good manners. He is a joy to be around.”
His second-grade teacher wrote,
“Teddy is an excellent student, well-liked by his classmates, but he is troubled
because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.”
His third-grade teacher wrote,
“His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best, but his
father doesn’t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if
some steps aren’t taken.”
Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote,
“Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t
have many friends and he sometimes sleeps in class.”
