“Who is a good teacher and who is not?”
If you are a teacher, how you could
be a good teacher since everyone has different on his/her own perspective what
a good teacher is. Also, how you would
not be a bad teacher that everyone hate.
These easy simple questions do not give you easy simple answers. However, many evidences of great teachers
throughout our lives have shown us it is not hard to be a good teacher and many
evidences show us how a bad teacher is. There
is no exactly line to point out what a good teacher is or what is a bad teacher. It could depend in different situations between
teacher and student. In movies Freedom
Writers, Ms. Gruwell is a great teacher because she is dedicated and cares
for her students. On the other hand, in
articles “School”, Sister Mary of Perpetual Help is not a good teacher because
she is lack of connects and emotion abuse with her students.
Ms. Gruwell is a great teacher
because she is dedicated. She has tried
very hard to find the right solutions to improve her students’ knowledge. When the principle is not let her to use the
school books, she decides to work more two part time jobs—to be able to buy
books for her students. She has put many
thought what is good for her students.
She buys books that related to students’ lives and the books have opened
and inspired students’ mind.
Furthermore, Ms. Gruwell takes students on a field trip to the Museum of
Tolerance, and then she takes students to have dinner with some Holocaust
survivors. This trip and dinner have
become significant experiences for her students. They had not been treated with respect and a
proper manner before; Ms. Gruwell treats her students with respect and kindness
heart. After dinner, one student decides
to throw away his gun, because he cannot forget how violence affect and cause
the young Holocaust victim’s life that he sees in museum. Most students realize their situations are
less worse than Jews people in holocaust.
The boundary of violence and fighting they had before has gone by
experience of a field trip and dinner that Ms. Gruwell makes for them. Ms. Gruwell dedicated works change her
students behavior to be better way. They
become to connect each another in class, obsessive in reading, and make sense
about their lives. Ms. Gruwell is not
just improving their knowledge but she has improved the better life for her
students, too.
