Shy, but still not a capable teacher

Quote From: wngdpnthr

 My wife experienced the same thing, and I saw students go through this when I was teaching.  This is the "socialization" that Dr. Phil was so eager to see kids get.  I don't see how being picked on at school, or being a bully, is useful to society.
You were shortchanged by the school, or the teacher...perhaps you are one that might have benefitted from homeschooling, and being held back, or at least placed correctly when older. Could your parents have taught you to spell "college", or ensured that you would get better grades, or be able to go to college? Your parents ought to have taken more interest in your classroom and your grades, and helped ensure you (and others, no doubt. in your class) were not allowed to hide behind shyness, and bullies, etc. had no opportunity to tease, nor a free get-out-of-jail card. Ask yourself what example you set for your children who could not graduate from high school, those who had similar grandchildren, or maybe had no other resource other than become a cog in a military, strictly delineated institution?
