As seen in the passages, the speaker is a highly philosophical and educated person in the field of critical reading. For instance, the speaker makes many comparison such as buying a beefsteak and eating it and distinguishing whether a book owner owns woodpulp and ink or the book itself. The speaker stated that even though one may have the beefsteak in their icebox, it doesn’t truly belong to them until they consume it. Similar to the beefsteak situation, one truly owns the book if he or she writes in it, but only owns the ink and wood pulp if he or she lets the book sit on the shelf, untouched. The speaker’s temperaments are revealed to the readers through his opinions about books and critical readings. Furthermore, the the speaker’s identity is apparent in the story due to the first-person narration in the beginning and the use of the word “you” to show that he is talking directly to the readers.

A typical routine of a fourth grade student in Five Oaks, Michigan shifted immediately when the unfamiliar substitute teacher entered the classroom. Mr. Hibler, the students’ normal teacher, came down with a cough and wasn’t in the classroom for a few days. Inside the school setting is where all the important and developing events throughout the story occurred. The students were used to the typical memorization of facts, predictable subjects, and uneventful classroom teachings. Miss Ferenczi disrupted this normality of the routine of a day the students had. “She said that the Egyptians were the first to discover that dogs, when they are ill, will not drink from rivers, but wait for the rain, and hold their jaws open to catch it.” (Baxter 256) The facts and statements she said to the students engulfed their thoughts. Leading them to be confused, intrigued, and curious to hear more. These were feelings they never expected to feel at school. While, more often than not, Miss Ferenczi was presenting mythical, untrue, or incorrect facts, the students mindsets shifted in the classroom. Boredom no longer invaded the students whenever Miss Ferenczi was speaking. “There was no sound in the classroom, except for Miss Ferenczi’s voice, and Donna DeShano’s

So, I took a choice to fall out before any teacher come. When I fell, I heard an open door car, it was the supervisor “Abdullah Alhejailan escaped the school!!” the supervisor said. He was very surprised about that. I was waiting Fahad and his friends to climb the door, but both of them left me alone out there.

During his speech, he criticizes the education quality and blames the educators for students’ failure because they continue to do the same thing that did not work for decades even though millions of kids are still failing each year. At the end, he provides solutions that could improve the education for students. The speech would have been different if the audiences were different group of people. For example, he would still have given the problem but not the solutions if audiences were students. In addition, he would not have expressed his anger in front of students.

It is important for teachers to allow students the opportunity to share and learn from one another. Parth describes his most effective teacher as one who allowed them to have Socratic seminars during class in which they were able to talk about their personal experiences and stories throughout their lives and learn from one another. He capitalized on this while also stating that while they had all grown up in the American school system, their home and personal lives were all different and had all shaped them into the people and students that they are now. Parth also brought up an instance where a teacher required the students to crack and do experiments with chicken eggs purchased from the grocery store. Being vegetarian and per his religion, Parth was unable to participate. After communicating this to his teacher, she was upset and punished him without taking the time to understand or provide an alternate assignment for him to do. Teachers must take the time to educate themselves and understand their students. Failure to do so will squish their student’s culture and expression of

Rommel Caparas is currently a senior at Chino Hills High School who is a very interesting student and ultimately a great person. Currently, Rommel feels that his senior year is going well, and that most of his classes challenge his ability. His peers also make each class enjoyable; however, he realizes that not everyday is going to be great. Rommel is currently in the Academic Decathlon as a senior, and took the class last year too. Last year he studied World War II in decathlon, and this year he is studying Africa, and later is going to compete again like he did before. Rommel took, and is still taking decathlon, because he really enjoys learning about the subjects and competing at the end of the year. Rommel said that his former math teacher, Mr. Hardman, has had the greatest influence on him because he always has the best interest for his students in mind and is able to teach the class more than just numbers. Mr. Skokan, his former AP U.S. History teacher, also has influenced Rommel to strive for greatness, and made him realize that he has a passion for History.

Suddenly, there was a hush in the room. The teacher had asked someone a question! I tried to seem casual as I glanced up to see if I was the unlucky person who had been called upon. My heart jumped and then I realized that the teacher was looking at the person to my right, waiting expectantly for an answer. I stared at the girl also, as if I was truly interested in whatever ramblings might come out of her mouth about the dead general and his battle. I felt my face grow warm with a slight blush as I became embarrassed for her and her inability to answer the question. She must have been paying as much attention to the lecture as I had been. Finally, she was able to formulate a less than mediocre answer that satisfied the monotone voice at the front of the room and the lecture resumed. Another glance back at the girl and I saw the cell phone palmed in her left hand down by her side. She had been text-messaging someone instead of paying attention!

The Prioress introduces herself as being like a child who does not know many words. She is going to try to tell a tale as best as she can. This child-like language can be seen through the whole tale. The

In this article ‘No Education without Hesitation: Exploring the Limits of Educational Relations’, Gert Biesta stresses the importance teacher-student relationship and the ability to maintain learning without hesitating. However, one of the major drawbacks that come with the relationship between the teacher and the student is the likelihood that they may over-relate hence compromise space for education to take place. According to Gert, majorly, this occurs when the teacher tries to dig too much of a student`s information such that they get too close to each other. The risk that comes with too much closeness is that the education may tend to lose its significance especially when the teacher focuses more on the relational dimensions (Gert, 2012, p.1). The argument provided by Gert Biesta rhyme with those provided by Macmillan and Garrison’s erotetic education in that they both recognize the importance of communication in education. One of the major aspects of erotetic education is communicative competencies which ensure that students are able to dialogue effectively as part of improving their relationship. For instance, question sessions ensure that the dialogue is lively and is maintained all through the learning process. They believe that a teacher should teach students so that they can be able to generate questions which the teacher would then clarify on. According to Gert, the English language is inadequate in its distinction in that it is
