The essay 'The Role of the Teacher' written by Irving Layton reviews the current state of our ever criticized school system. The author shows us how we view the problems of the school system and explains how and why we place blame on teachers. He shows how 'penny-pinching school boards'(p145) are the real ones to blame and not the teaches whom are the easiest to confront. 'A feeling has grown that schools and universities are not achieving that which they were intended: namely , the enrichment of the individuals life by giving him the tools of self improvement and the cultivated mind to use them'(p145) is how most people view the school board and what the author is trying to discuss. The author uses a logical pattern and an expository purpose. The author uses opinion based format for this essay.…
Sumpter was quick to put an end to a conversation that could have escalated and destroyed his school’s climate. Although, the climate already seems to be in turmoil with the teachers not seeing eye to eye on how to teach students who speak other languages. The worst has already happened; teachers have formed ‘clicks’ and are not collaborating and utilizing each other as a valuable resource for his/her students. The tension will continue and will have a ‘them verse us’ mentality. If Mr. Sumpter is unable to make drastic changes, the culture of the school will not improve.…
Jans believes that teachers have absolutely nothing to do with how a student preforms in school. He states, “Blaming teachers because your kid can't read makes as much sense as blaming the dentist for a mouthful of cavities”. That statement makes absolutely no sense, because in order to get cavities you choose not to brush your teeth and it is your fault. If you can't read well, it's usually not you're fault. It's a very poor comparison. One statement he had made really bugged me, he claimed that “If I had a hundred bucks for every time a student cheated on a test, or had the nerve to tell me, in the middle of an impassioned lecture, that my presentation was “'boring'”, I could be driving a new car.” If students are actually interrupting his lecture saying they're boring, they probably are! In my experience, when teachers go out of their way to make a lesson interesting I learn more. But when they just talk the entire time with no visuals and little to no humor, I zone out. He states “The problem is far simpler and more ominous: the students themselves.” But then, after he goes on about students and their gaming, music, and sex habits; he claims that it is the parents that are at fault.…

There is no communication in this style of teaching. “This is the ‘banking’ concept of education, in which the scope of action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the deposits” (244). Because of my “special” moment, a moment of humility that has haunted me through my educational career, school became an institution where I would go to memorize information but never really understood what I was being “taught”. I became a receptacle, a depository, and my teachers became the depositors. Education became a process of teachers making deposits which I would receive, memorize and regurgitate (Freire 244). Looking back, the trouble with the situation was that I was sacrificing the most important part of education: learning how to…
The world revolves around currency, in reality we all use money in our everyday life we are making it, spending it or saving it. Andrew Lang wrote “Ballade of Wordly Wealth,” through repetition in this poem we learn about the people in the 1800s and 1900s and what they thought about money.…

‘Some teachers think a well-planned, interesting lesson will by itself prevent disruption. Or that if the teacher is entirely benign and respectful of students, conflict will simply melt away. This isn’t the case.’…
It is imperative that a teacher has a sound understanding of the subject matter that is being delivered, if a student produces material or spoken language that is incorrect the teacher has to have the ability to not only give a correct version, but also to explain clearly and concisely to the student and class why the original material given by the student was incorrect, this is of course only possible if the teachers own knowledge is complete and accurate, the teacher should be able to provide an efficient and thorough explanation and deliver accurate guidance.…
My class is full of wonderful characters that make all of us cheerful to study. There are twenty-two students in my class and only seven of them are boys. Our form teacher is Encik Azmi bin Nusi.

There are only four Indian girls and four Chinese students. Our class is one of the noisiest class because of the interesting characters we have.…
