I think that it is very important for educators to realize that everything they say is actually heard by someone, and even if they didn't mean for it to be remembered, it will be. Children will take in whatever they find could be useful. And if a students feels like a teacher is picking on them by saying something because of their race, class, ability, language, appearance, sexuality, or gender then that thought could stay with them for their whole life.
As a teacher is it important to never take sides, even if you yourself are uncomfortable with something or someone in your classroom. Everyone deserves a proper education and it is education alone that can help us all make this world a better place.
