Actively Hating Students: How to rebalance your classroom
About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of teacher emotions, particularly hate, and how to rebalance classroom dynamics through self-awareness and support systems.
In my experience, most teachers — hell, most people — don’t want to admit they hate anyone. “Hate,” they say, “is a strong word.” As if there’s a problem with strong words. (Like “love,” for example.) Teaching through Emotions is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. But people do hate. And when they hate irresponsibly, when they refuse to process that feeling and assume it has more to do with the object of their hatred than with themselves, they can do grave damage. In this episode, Joe and I talk with a wonderfully open, self-aware teacher, storyteller, and entrepreneur who also happens to be a good friend of mine, Hari Kumar. It’s a great story about hate, teaching, self-correction, and hope. Listen now on Apple Podcasts , Spotify , or wherever you get your podcasts .
