Teachers

Since we're reading Nothing But The Truth, which involves a boy who doesn't get along with a teacher, I want you to consider teacher-student relationships you've had in the past. Have you had teachers that you just got along with whether or not you did well in their class? Have you had teachers whose personality just didn't mesh with yours? Without naming names, expound upon these ideas and thoughtfully consider how personality differences or similarities have affected you in your classes.

A few years ago I had a History teacher that I couldn't stand! He wasn't hard or too strict he was just BORING. He always spoke in monotone and we did nothing but read the text book the entire class period! Occationally we would get an assignment. Because it was an honors History class the assignments were usually more difficult and took more time to complete. I had more than a hundred percent in the class but I was too bored to stand it anymore! So at the end of first term I was out of there!

Another teacher that I had was so amazing. I had her for English two years in a row. She was so nice to everyone and the way she taught made it easy to understand. We had a few difficult assignments as well as some easier ones throughout the year but whenever anyone needeed help she was willing. She was hillarious too! She always made everyone laugh and I felt like I had somewhat of a personal relationship with her. If I was having a hard day or I was sad, she was the first person I went to. I always had great grades in her class. She moved away but I will always remember her!
