My first year I taught first grade and I had a wonderful class.  I remember the last day of school.  I had a surprise for my students.  I told my class that I would be teaching second grade the following year and that some of them would be in my class.  I remember crying before my kids left because after all it was my first year teaching and I knew some will be in another class.  My memorable moment came at the end of that second year because more than half of that class had been with me for 2 whole years, and my first two years of teaching at that.  I was going around the class and asking students to share stories about the last two years.  Some said they would remember how I always turned red when I laughed, some said they would remember hearing the radio every morning as they walked in (I would sometimes forget to turn it on) some said they would remember the christmas parties and we just shared memories.  One particular student, who never displayed any emotions had his head down the whole time.  I just figured he was bored by the whole thing since he was like the little typical "macho" kid in the class.  When I got to him, I said Frankie, what will you remember.  When he finally looked at me he had been crying the whole time because he realized that after two years of being his teacher he would be moving on.  I was floored and all I could do was cry too.  Then, well needless to say the waterworks started and half of my class was crying.  I would never forget that because as he was leaving, Frankie said, you are the best teacher I've ever had.  I knew he had meant it.

While it is true that teachers are human and may not word a question exactly right that makes it clear, they do not ask the "wrong" question.  They are asking the student what they believe is important for the student to learn and know.  If you pay attention in class, the teacher usually gives out clues during lectures as to what they think is important for you to know; also when they point out certain readings, that is usually important material to know.

cant say what is considered-only what i know-most people dont take the time to pay attention to their surrounds but go on in their own world thinking about their life-by sitting quiet and listening you became aware of sounds that were already there you just werent listening for them- think for most people this would happen everytime-also think that something new-and its new to you bacause you werent listening before-will stand out in your memory-keep the peace old hippie-ps-holler back and let me know what teacher says like to keep up with what they are teaching-thanks

Write him/her a letter telling him/her how he/she has helped you, impacted your life in a positive way, and how you will use those lessons in the future.  Just knowing that as a teacher, you have made an impact, is the BEST gift that can be gotten.

Know the material covered in class, it's really that simple. I've found I remember the most when I try and absorb as much as I can when it is actually being gone over in lecture. Often times for me, this means not taking any notes (typically all that you need to know is covered in your class text) and focusing on understanding the concepts being gone over.

It sounds a bit of a cop out but I would have to say the most important thing I have learnt is how to learn.  That and making mistakes is OK and part of life.  No I didn't learn this at school which is why I have gone into teaching to try and bridge the gap

I am a teacher, I have taught in a regular education classroom as well as special need classroom.  I don't think teachers intentionally have favorite students.  I do tell my students that if they say "yes" to me, I will in turn say "yes" to them.\nFor example, if i have student who works in class and finishes the work, makes corrections as necessary, that child will get more priviledges (free time, computer time, library time, treats, etc) than the student who is not working in class.\n\nYou are not going to want to read this, but maybe you should not just blame the teacher for having favorites, but look at the bigger picture.  Are there things that one student is doing (so called favorite?) that the other is not?\n\nI asked my students one day to write down the name of my favorite student and give me three reasons why they felt that way.  (Ok, now I am bragging)  Most of the students wrote down their own name!!  Nope, no favorites here, I love them all, and somehow they realize it.  The students that wrote someone else's name gave the reasons that they had more priviledges. Generally it was the students who had recently got in trouble in class.  Go figure.

A good teacher is first a great teacher who has mastered the concept of teaching no matter what the subject.  A good teacher will giver her students a hunger and desire for lifelong learning, understanding that what can be taught in class is limited but, by teaching how to learn her student will always be able to educate himself after his school days are over.  A good teacher also is not afraid to discipline when teaching is disrupted.  Respect for learning must be a part of good teaching regardless of the subject matter.

When I was in the third grade we had a teacher  from Kenya who was also a foreign exchange student.   I was a very shy quiet student who would never speak up.  Miss Okabi was the nicest person I had ever met and she brought me out of my shell.  It`s been 50 years and I haven`t forgotten her.

I understand what you mean.  You have great respect for your teacher is what I feel you are trying to say.  Your teacher knows you well because she helped turn your empty mind into an open so she knows your line of thinking.  Though I have never been in that situation I am happy to hear that you are able to connect to an educator like that.  It'll definatly help you in the future with University have someone who has gone through the whole process and such.  Go forth and live a good life.

This essay is about a teacher who used the special interests and backgrounds and experiences of the students to get them learning.  He taught them the value of the things that happened in their own lives and thier own environment.  He was able to step outside the usual concept of what a teacher was supposed to do and he dared to be different.  As a result students responded and learned.  What the teahcer did could be considered, in a sense, using "multiple intelligences" theory in the classroom.

I teach about 100 students each semester. I flatter myself into thinking that they know a little more when I'm finished with'em. I can't change the world, I can only improve my little corner.

By the way, 25 years old is very young! Now, about your teacher...if she used to be your favorite, then you must have had a good relationship before this.  She will probably appreciate it if you stay after class and talk to her. Tell her that you get the feeling she is angry at you and, if so, you'd like to know how you could do better in her class. Sometimes teachers are misunderstood. I am a teacher myself.  When I was in my twenties, I remember catching a student telling another student that she was sure I hated her.  I was very surprised and had to reflect on why my student thought that way. (However, if your teacher really is angry at you, she should still appreciate that you are brave enough to find out out why. Be really cool and positive. If she really likes teaching, she will learn from you.)
