1. Teacher By Jordan Polak

2. Big Problem One of the biggest problems I had in High School was staying awake in class.

3. Why I had a lot of teachers who I am sure did not really care about the subject matter the where teaching.

4. Teaching Methods There method of teaching was put notes on the projector, only getting up to change the page, and giving out worksheets they where supplied with in there book.

5. Question? And heaven forbid if you have a question. Sometimes the teacher would get annoyed if you even asked a question.

6. Surprise And for some reason they are surprised when people do bad on tests. Maybe if the students where not afraid to ask a question they may have done a little better.

7. Motivational Speaking I had one teacher who I will never forget. I remember she used to say the day after a quiz or a test. “Last period 6 people failed this test, this period over half the class. I am very disappointed in you all. Now on with today’s lesson.”

8. What Last Class. I really grew to wander about the class before us. I mean there where a lot of smart kids in my class, so I decided to ask around. I later found out she gave that speech to every class.

9. Model Teacher? This is the kind of teacher I do not want to be. And no kid should have to put up with.

10. Enjoy Class should not only be a learning experience, but students should be able to enjoy it to.

11. Fun Students should have fun as well. And be given projects that they can enjoy doing.

12. Interesting The subject matter should be made interesting as well. The students may stay awake a little bit longer if the subject can be made interesting.

13. Surprising And if I see a kid about to dose off, I will wake them up with a shocking fact. I learned this from Psychology teacher. Any time I felt like napping he would say something surprising and wake me right up.

14. Chance for Improvement Every one has bad days, I don’t think your grade should have to suffer if you have one. I believe there should be chances for students to correct there mistakes in the past and have a chance to bring up there grade.

15. Not to Lenient But I do not plane to be to lenient. If its more than a couple of days late, to bad for you.

16. Don’t be Afraid to Ask I will not let my students be afraid to come to me for help. There is no such thing as a stupid question. If I can help them I will do the best I can to help.

17. Goal My goal in college is to gain as much information on history as I can. I want to teach kids the history of the world, so they do not repeat the mistakes of the past.

18. Hope I can only hope that I can become the good teacher I want to be. And I hope I do not turn out like some the teachers I had in the past. I will make history fun.
