Statement after reading

After reading  the book i pick the statement "students should not tell teachers about their personal problems, no matter how serious". I am disagree  with this because the teachers may help you to find a solution a help you passing through and specially if it is a big problem they have much more experience then we have.
My  first example shows how Mr.Freeman,the art teacher, motivate Melinda to express her feeling through art .At first Melinda is interesting to do well in draw but she is not very convince that her art express any emotion so she said "I draw a horizontal line for the ground and a daisy popping up next to the tree.Somehow i don't think so Mr. Freeman is going to find much emotion in it".
My second example it shows how  a teacher knows when a kid is passing through something .After thanksgiving (a bad holy day for Melinda) Mr. Freeman see her depression through her art and Mr.Freeman understand this feeling encouraging  Melinda to express more emotions.He said "I see a girl caught int he remains of holy days gone bad ,with her flesh picked off day after day as the carcass dries out...The palm tree is a nice touch .A broken dream ,perhaps?". Then when Melinda totally finish  the project Mr.Freeman see the sculpture very serious and he said "This has meaning.Pain."He may not said "you need or how can i help you" but he tries to say to Melinda that he feels that she is sad or depress and that she don't need to tell her what is happening he understand.
My third and finally example it shows how the teacher comprise and understand a student ,trying finally talk with Melinda about her problems. When Melinda feel that she have a connection with Mr. Freeman and that he is the only one who understand her feelings.Melinda draw finally a very good in which she really express her feeling drawing a beautiful green tree with birds around it ,after drawing  this Melinda begins to cry then Mr.Freeman begin to talk and say " 'You get an A+.You worked hard at this.' He hands me a box of tissues.'You've been through a lot ,haven't you?' " . After all this Melinda decides to speak finally about what happened that day when she was raped.
Because i believe that the teachers are the most experience and they know when something is happening to a student ,and they also understand because they have more experience  .You should tell to a teacher if you have big problems they she or he  can help you .

  1. Yes I agree with this person's statement. I agree with this person's opinion because she has a lot of good examples. Some of the examples are The teacher Mr.Freemon helps Melinda express her feelings through art. second Mr.Freemon sees that she is depressed after Thanksgiving and says that he sees a broken girl caught in the broken dreams of the holy days. Third Mr.Freemon is very encouraging to her about her grade in his class. This response is good an had some good examples.
