My most inspiring teacher ever isn't one I have this year,
but my English teacher from last year, Miss Schroeder. She never failed to keep
class interesting whether through the actual work she set us, or the way she
reacted to things that happened whilst we were there. For just about every
single one of our assessments she extended the criteria allowing us to push the
boundaries of normal class learning by either making a movie, powerpoint, or
even writing poems instead of writing out boring old Positive, Negative, and
Interesting tables. She also let us play mass class games and let us have
movies playing in the background whilst we worked.
The best thing about Miss Schroeder though was definitely
her attitude. She was a complete and total free spirit and stayed calm despite
anything that was thrown at her (sometimes literally). In fact right now she's
on maternity leave and I think her kids going to be one of the coolest alive
just because of what a great person she is. Yep. Miss Schroeder's awesome (and
not because of the fact she sent people out to go and catch rainbows, or the
time we had a class party in English, or when she accidently dunked the pom
poms at the end of her beanie into her coffee, or when she always gave Shelly
half of whatever she happened to have for lunch, or when she pulled our entire
class out of module because we were bored, or when she let us just hang around
or leave stuff in her class or, or... there's too many things) but because of
her appropriate teaching methods ;)
