Welcome to my blog. My name is Kevin and I am a sophomore at Reading Memorial High School. The purpose of this blog is to show what we have learned throughout this year. In this blog I will be talking about what makes a teacher great and what the purpose of public education. I hope you enjoy this blog.
First, what makes a teacher great? I think what makes a teacher great is if he/she gets involved with their class. Not just during the lesson, but before and after class. I like it when the teacher just has regular conversation with their students (to a certain limit of course). When i remember my past favorite teachers I would go after school, not for extra help all the time, but to just talk with them because I enjoyed how they interacted with the class. My history teacher, or any teacher of mine in general, can support me by just being themselves around the class I'm in and if I need their help I would appreciate them always being available. I rarely dislike a teacher and I'm looking forward to having all new teachers this year.
Second, what is the purpose of education? In class we watched a video based on this question and it really got me thinking about my education. If you want to watch the video I will have a link at the bottom. In the video the man speaking is a you tuber named John Green. He said it is the duty of us students to use our education to do great things and I agree with him. We are getting privileged to have a free education and we shouldn't waste it. I want to use my education to positively affect the world as much as I can. For this year, academically, I want to do the best I can and receive the highest grades I deserve. Athletically, Im hoping to stay healthy all year because for the last couple of years I have gotten hurt and I want that to stop. Im going to reach these goals by studying and paying attention in class. For the sports I will train and take care of myself making sure I don't get hurt again. I can't wait for this year!
