In Language Arts class, we are reading “The Giver” which is a book about the ideal society. Since we are in school, we decided to write about the ideal teacher. For a lot of kids, the ideal teacher would be one that gives no homework, recess all day, gives them candy, etc., but not for me. I mean, sure that would be great, but I need something more than that! My ideal teacher would be one that doesn’t overload you with work, but doesn’t let you blow off his or her class. One who is funny and makes jokes, but doesn’t make that prevent us from learning a lot (I had a teacher like this one, who is like the coolest guy I know, and he made every class REALLY fun, but I learned SO much in his class!!!). The teacher also needs to be more than just great in his or her academic field. They would need to be very understanding outside of class. They would need to be able to help me socially if necessary, but not try to always stick their nose into everybody’s business. They would need to be kind too. I have certain teachers who are like second mothers and fathers to me!

I agree with you that teachers should not overload you with work but still not let you blow off all of your work. Your blog post is really good and I agree with a lot of the things you said. 😊
I agree with you, great post!
I feel the same way! There are some teachers who I will never forget because I was able to learn from them but they also helped me with whatever I needed-they were like a friend. I love how you brought up how it is important for a teacher to be able to help socially too because that can be a very important part of a student’s life.
