I sat down with one of my favorite people, my little brother, to pick his brain about his teachers.
Q. What was your best experience with a teacher?
A. Mr. Moore is my favorite teacher ever, he is really funny, especially when he does the daily journals. He can make us laugh but still knows when it's time to teach. He is very wise; he knows a lot about things and he has a very interesting past, so we learn from his life lessons.
Q. What was your worst experience with a teacher?
A. Mr. Rosser was the worst teacher I've ever had. Unlike many teachers who like when students ask questions, no one does in his class, because everyone is scared to. When you ask a question he'll embarrass you in front of the class. I once asked him what page the lesson would be on and he said "Hm well Chris look at the board, now what page do you think it's on?" and everyone laughed. He never really taught the class; he would give us a graphic organizer and two-column notes, tell us to read a chapter, fill it out and write a 1 page summary on the back. When some unlucky student forgot how much to write he would say "Well how much do we write every other time?"
Q. What teaching methods do you prefer?
A. Anything with less work.
And then they complain that nobody wants to participate.....
