My Theory of Teaching.

Every teacher has there own theory of doing so. I am going to state my theory. I do like giving out test, but my way of giving them the test would be way different. I would probably be splitting up the room to those who are just there for the credit to graduate, or are there to learn something from the class i am currently teaching and want to carry the experience and knowledge throughout their life, or are just there to be with friends and are really not planning on graduating.

Those that are just there for the credit to gradute, i would be giving them all the answers. I would have them do the assignments, and then give them a test or quiz and see what they can do and then give them the answer. I would make up a score on their participation or excuses to not participate. For example; one person has slept pretty much all the way through class, he has the excuse of staying up and working on an essay that was today. That is acceptable. But, if he is sleeping in class because he stayed up playing Halo all night, then that is not acceptable. F for him, and A for the other guy that was staying up to make up/work on an assignment.

The people that are there for the experince and knowledge. I would give them the full-fledged class experience with some excpetions. I would give them the exact calculation to their assignments, quizes, and tests. But, if i were to feel somewhat lazy some days, then i would not require them to do anything along with the whole class. A teacher does need some of those days. The teachers arn't exactly robots you know.

Now, to those people that are just there for no apperent reason. They are just there because their mother told them that if you don't go to school they will be losing their valubles and priviledges. I don't care. If they are there to be lazy, I will let them. They just have to obey the rules of the class or they will be out of the coolest class of the whole school, in my opinion. (of course)

To the body of the class, there is no such thing as "cheating" in my class. You can "cheat" whenever you need to.

I would be playing music for the class along with letting them listen to their ipods while i sit at my desk. But, when i am talkig, they need to take one headphone out and, at least, act like they are listening. I would try to have a party each term in school and the class will decide when we shall have the party. I would be allowing food and drink. They just need to make sure they be careful, and when they spil something, make sure to get the mess-clean-up kit and make sure they clean it up right at that moment. Everyone that can, should help out to that person that spilt their food or drink. I have spilt a drink before, and cleaning it by yourself sucks. Bad.


So, note to self: I would be the coolest teacher ever, and you know it.
