Would you prefer explanations along with the votes?Sure
Would you prefer the replies to remain spoiler free?Nope
:: Lessons Learned
What is/was your favorite school subject? Why?History - it is fascinating to study how every generation has to relearn the same lessons again and agsin - you would think we'd get it!
What is/was your least favorite school subject? Why?PE - I am NOT sporty.
Have you ever taken a school subject(class) you thought would be more interesting than it was? What happened? How would you have made it better?
:: Footprints in our Minds
Have you ever had a teacher you loved and respected? Why that person?I cannot even remember her name any more, but my freshman English teacher had my respect. She understood that I read faster than most folks and would let me take the tests earlier while I still remembered everything instead of having to re-read a book.
Have you ever had a teacher you loathed and looked down on? Why that person?I don't think I had one that I loathed, but I had a Spanish teacher I would have liked to avoid - she talked to seniors like we were in kindergarten.
In your opinion, all teachers should approach their occupation like... what? How would you recommend teachers to be?A vocation - something they are truly called to be. This is not the place for political statements or leanings. There are too many teachers out there who don't like kids! If you do not like kids - you shouldn't be teaching!
:: Perpetual Homework
Do you prefer verbal or written exams? Why?Depends on the subject - if I know it, I don't mind verbal. However, if it is a subject I'm not sure about, I need the thinking time of a written one.
Do you learn more through discussions or simply reading books? Why?I enjoy discussions, but I often learn more by simply reading. It is easier to spot the author's prejudice than a speaker who is passionate about their topic.
Do you prefer exams with long detailed questions (requiring detailed answers) or simple questions (with multiple choice answers already listed)?Depends on the subject - I like discussing literature and history, but most others I'd prefer to do a fast test.
Would you rather do a pretty big project or a pretty big oral report?Nowadays, I'd prefer the oral report, but back in high school I'd prefer the project.
Would you rather have a more interactive class or a robotic 'hand-in and be graded' class?Depends on the subject - for literature & history, I'd prefer more interactive, but for science or health, let me turn in the work and then leave me be.
:: Teaching Should Be an Ideal
You're late for class, what does your teacher do?Find out the reason, and if it is a good one, let it pass - if not, some form of punishment - designed to fit the student should apply.
You hand in your assignment two weeks early, what does your teacher tell you?Ask to be sure I'm really ready, and then offer another assignment or reading to keep me from being bored and disrupting class.
Your teacher discovers that, even though you had been assigned to a team to complete a project, you've been the one doing most (if not all) of the workload. What does he do?Give me a bonus on the grade and lower their grade for lack of teamwork.
Your teacher catches a student cheating on an exam, what does he do?The student automatically loses 20 points on the exam.
You're outside school, enjoying an ordinary day (at the mall, a park, a beach, wherever you like) when you see your teacher not too far from you... how does the interaction play out between both of you?Polite and cordial, but keeping a proper distance - they have to remain objective with their students.
