Title: Esme addressed emotions in learning, while hers were neglect
Review: Esme's effectiveness lay in her addressing the emotional and social aspects of learning and teaching, which are mostly neglected or ignored as unimportant in most classrooms. Seeing her students as whole people, this "Woman with Many Children" invested tremendous amounts of emotional energy into her students, and ended up sucessful but emotionally drained and burned out. Colleges of Education and their professors should address the issues of burn-out in teaching, and help students to learn how to deal with it, how to meet their emotional needs before it happens and give them tools to cope with entrenched bureaucrats. Support net works of newer teachers should be set up so that teaching and children don't lose more Madame Esmes. P.S. My child was fortunate enough to have Esme as a teacher. Madame Esme did have a lot of enthusiatic fans among parents.
