Over the years I have had several teachers that were very strict, easy going, easy to get along with and even rude. The one I remember the most and respected the most was my freshman English teacher. She was a teacher for many years and never dealt with kids misbehaving. One the first day of school she made sure all the kids understood that every assignment was due on time and neat. She also made sure everyone knew she would not deal with messing around in her class. She was a great teacher and loved teaching but she took her job seriously when it came to class time.
She was a very strict teacher but was a great one. I personally loved her. Mrs. Wender was always very kind. She would greet us every-time we walked into the room. We were allowed to talk until the bell rang but the second that bell was done ringing we had to be in our seat and be quiet. If a certain student was a distraction in her class she would kindly ask them to leave because she was not going to deal with them while other kids were working. When we were in her class you had to be on your best behavior.
When it came to doing her homework she expected us to do our best work. She would always be able to tell when we were slacking or not trying. When she could tell someone was slacking or not trying she would have a talk with them and make sure they would do better on their assignment. Mrs. Wender never wanted us to fail but if you did not attempt to help yourself after her talk then she wouldn't care what your grade was. When assignments were due we were expected to have the assignment in on time because she would not let you hand it in the next day. The reason why she wouldn't allow us to hand in the assignment the next day was because she wanted to prepare us for college.
Mrs. Wender was the teacher that taught us how to act in a classroom in high school. There was no goofing around or childish allowed in her classroom. I learned lots from Mrs. Wender. She taught me how to respect a teacher and my classmates. I respect her very much and learned a lot from her.
I liked that I got a sense of what she taught like and the discipline Mrs. Wender used. I also like that we as readers know what she taught you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cammie. I felt like I could imagine myself being there. It also made me think of teachers I had that were the same way. They had stricter rules then most because they said they were "preparing us for college." I thought your blog was very interesting
