Blogpost #4

I would say nothing is wrong with the student or the students family. The family is raising their child the way they believe is best. The child is obviously going to bring those traits into the classroom with him. He is going to believe whatever his family says and does. As a child the first people we ever have real social contact with is our families, also when we are young we love to copy people. It is our natural instinct to follow the when we do not understand something. When you are at the age of four or five you do not know anything really. You are going to follow what siblings do, what parents do. Some of those actions may not be good but it is the way people are and we will continue to follow. The job of the teacher should never to judge students but to look to help them or talk to them about it. If it is a bad action they are doing they need to explain to the student why it is bad. Parents probably do not know their son or daughter is copying them so they cannot discipline them. The teacher then has to explain why it is bad. On the other hand the teacher should compliment the student when he or she does something good. Let's say a student starts to cry and another comes over and comforts that students. The teacher can talk to the student who helped and ask them where they learned to care and comfort others. The student would say he or she has seen their dad comfort their mom when she was crying. It is a two way street. The teacher should tell the student when they are doing something wrong and explain why. Also they should compliment the student when they do something good and talk to them about why it is good and where they learned it from.

A question I want to ask is what does it take to be a great teacher? I would say to be a great teacher you need to have many skills that not everyone has. A great teacher needs to be able to connect to their students. They need to at least be a teacher student level, a step above that is if they are on the same level. For that to happen the teacher must become vulnerable and hope his students want to be on that level. A teacher does not go down to the students level but the student comes up to the teachers level and acts very mature. Another asset a teacher needs is to know the material. If the teacher does not know the material inside and out the students will not learn and will not respect the teacher. A great teacher needs to always be there for their students. I had a teacher in high school who I try and talk to a good amount still today. That teacher I know I can talk to about anything and she will do her best to help me with that situation. Teachers should feel comfortable to have a relationship with their students like the one I have with that teacher; it makes the students feel good about themselves that they can talk to anyone at anytime with such good experience.
The teacher should always look for suggestions from the students. Some students like group work and the teacher can try and work that into the class structure. Teachers should also make the students feel comfortable in front of their peers. Make sure no other classmates  make fun of others for asking questions or answering a question wrong that is ridiculous, the teacher should have control over that at all times and make sure students are never afraid to come to class.

Descriptions                                                                                                                       
 
Girls walking with a lot of bags                              
from different stores.
 
Some people had one or two bags. 
                                                                                                  
Girls had a lot jewelry.                                         
Large People eating Large meals.                              
 
Many people went in and out of                         
stores and did not get anything.

Interpretations
 
 Could have been rich. Parents gave them money.

 They could have bought a lot from one store,                                                                                    or put all bags into one big bag.

They seemed to have gotten the jewelry
  from parents or put it on right after they left a store.

The people must have been hungry.

Must have been bored do did not have enough money.


 
 
 
Parking Lot:
 
Rich, snobby, rude girls
Bored people, nothing to do, wasting time.
Large people eating more than they should.

Reflection: I learned we cant judge people based on looks and actions we need to learn about the person. I was thinking that people might have done this with me and judged me without me even knowing. It should be to know the people not what they buy, wear, eat; more about the personality of each person. The activity invites us to judge but we can judge but not have any real views on these people.

class survey

Personal Info
1. Ryan
2. Chesterland
3.  High School 9-12 Math
4. Very caring and helpful to those who seek help.

Learning Style and more
1. I need to be in a circle where I can face all my classmates and confidence in myself and that others have confidence in me.
2. a) I am very confident speaking in front of other students and am rarely nervous.
b) I will show up to class with homework finished.
c) I am honest with work. No cheating but will defiantly try and help explain the information to the other student.
d) Very aware of all of it. Checking the syllabus as much as possible will help with that.
e) Ask the teacher. If the teacher is busy then I will see if a classmate could help me.
f) none as of now.

Education Past and Present
1) Good: A teacher gave the class a decision to decide on choosing the letter A or B if everyone in the class choose A everyone got a 20/20 but if you choose A and one person picked B, the person who picked A got a 12/20 and the person who picked B got a 16/20
2) I am concerned with how much students use their cell phones. I understand the generation is very attached. I would want to use technology as much as possible so they stay away from using it in a negative way.
