The other day, Casey tweeted a request for a poster. In an attempt to procrastinate on my to-do list, I gave it an attempt. It’s a Harry Potter quote, and I’m not a Harry Potter fan. I’m pretty sure I read part of the first book when I was in middle school. And, I’ve been in a room with someone watching the movies, but it’s just not my thing. (Please don’t stop reading my blog over this confession. Thanks.)
I did, however, see the appeal of the quote: “You will find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”
It’s something I struggle with as a teacher. Why, oh why, do my struggling students not ask for help??? When there are twenty-odd students in a classroom, vying for my attention, the students who ask for help are the ones that get it.

The kids love it!!!! I printed it out on yellow paper, hung it on my board, and in each class, someone noticed and we talked about it. Thanks again- it's perfect!

Lol. Didn't think that Harry Potter could lead to an internal teacher reflection, but whatever works. I'm with you. I wonder why some students (particularly those who need it) don't ask for help. Usually they'll open up if you establish a relationship with them and break through that "trust" barrier. For some, thawing that ice can take a long time but they'll come around eventually.

I keep trying to remind myself that it just takes longer to establish trust with some kids. This happens every year. We've still got 75% of the school year left.
