Teacher as a Chemist

Sarah's need for order
    Marcus's wild imagination  
    Aisha's emotional intelligence
    Thomas's critical thinking

Bonding occurs
through shared purpose:
    "We sink or swim together"

Reactions happen
when elements combine:
    conflict ? resolution
    confusion ? clarity
    individual ? collective

Sometimes unstable:
    egos clash
    free riders coast
    personalities repel

But when balanced:
    synergy emerges
    1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8

The compound created
is stronger than
any single element,
more complex
than the sum
of its parts.

Teacher as chemist:
mixing carefully,
monitoring reactions,
adjusting pH
of power dynamics,
adding catalyst
of common goals,
ensuring every atom
has its place
in the molecule
of learning.
