No Dark Sarcasm In the Classroom

            When I was younger school was a nightmare. I dreaded going and being separated from my parents. This was all until second grade when my homeroom teacher made me feel comfortable. Her approach to teaching was completely different from anything I had experienced before. She made me feel welcome and let me know that if I had any problems I could talk to her about them. She was very open and understanding in every situation. I didn’t feel shy and self- conscious around her so I started raising my hand to answer questions more often and was able to enjoy learning.

            Math is my worst subject. I dislike numbers and calculations in any form. So you can imagine my horror when I had the worst math teacher imaginable one year in middle school. This teacher was horrible because she didn’t explain any problems fully; she moved too fast and never slowed down to ask us if we had any questions. She was mean and completely unapproachable. Students would raise their hands to ask questions and she would ignore them because she didn’t like to be interrupted. It was like she didn’t care if we passed her class or not or even understood the material. To me, if you aren’t a person that is good with helping/ interacting with other people then you shouldn’t become a teacher.
