I I am not sure if I will be able to stop myself from placing my opinions into my classroom without some practice. I want to get to know my students, but I do not want to cross that fine line of the student-teacher relationship. As a teacher I cannot voice my own opinions, because this will cause more parent and administrative conflict.
