The teacher arrives to his class hungover from the night before and has a bad attitude towards his students. He consistently speaks negatively and refuses to follow the school curriculum. He downgrades the classroom structure and rules that happen throughout the school. The teacher is ill and in a bad physical state so he decides to give his class recess to pass by time. Good educators no matter what stress they deal with, do things for the better of their students and not for themselves. The students do not gain anything from recess other than having a short break. Instead of asking the students for their name, the teacher calls them out by giving them inappropriate nicknames for a classroom environment. He asks the students questions on which music artists they are interested in, and disagrees with their responses because he personally does not like them. A “good” teacher respects the opinions of their students disregarding their own beliefs. We live in a world with a lot of teachers that are similar to the one in the “School of Rock” specifically in this scenario. Many examples of bad teaching are depicted upon the teachers’ attitude in the classroom and towards the students. Some teachers have certain ways of teaching and do not adapt to all of their students learning abilities. As an educator it is important that you take into consideration all of your students. Whenever there is a problem it is the educator’s responsibility that by the end of the class the student understands. If they do not still understand a certain concept you must make time to meet with the student and change the way you explain things to them. Hopefully by then the student understands. Many teachers do not have the time to accommodate all of their students and this is why many students struggle. A “bad” teacher is one who does not care about the students’ needs and this is evident in the “School of Rock” with the teacher’s attitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9RDfv5OAZQ – good teaching techniques The teacher Mr. Wright in this YouTube clip seems like an outstanding teacher. He seems to care a lot about his students by wanting them to be interested in his classes rather than just talk and make his students take notes. He believes in applying academics to real life events and having his students take place in hands on activities which seems to have a greater effect on the student’s ability to learn. Mr. Wright is an actual teacher from Louisville Male High School, United States. He is loved by all of his students because of his desire to make the classroom environment a welcoming and caring place. Later throughout the video we learn that Mr. Wright lives with his wonderful family, his wife his daughter and his son. But we learn that Mr. Wright’s son was born with a disability. This teacher is truly inspiring. He is a well-rounded teacher who not only is there to care for his students academically, but offers his own personal support for any students in need of someone to talk to. There are a lot of students who come from broken homes and have a hard life at home, making it challenging to stay focused in school, so I think that it is very important that teachers are there to support their students and offer help when needed even outside of the classroom. That not only makes them a better teacher but a better person. Knowing that there are people out there in the world that care about you when times are tough is the greatest help, and Mr. Wright is truly amazing for offering that support. Having a son who was born with a disability was heart breaking to Mr. Wright, and not fair to his son for having to deal with these social and physical challenges daily. Despite his own personal situation with his son, Mr. Wright maintains such a positive lifestyle in the classroom and is a strong man and father at home. He is someone who his students greatly look up to. He treats his students with respect and really tries to teach them the importance of love and happiness in life. I think that all teachers need to be like Mr. Wright from this YouTube clip. It is important for students to feel welcomed in a classroom environment. We live in a world where grades mean everything to students which add great amounts of stress, leaving them caring less about learning and gaining knowledge on the actual subject material. Teachers need to be more understanding of students learning abilities and that every student learns differently. Just because a student may not achieve 88% in all their classes should not depict there placement in society as being considered a “dumb” student. Mr. Wright seems to only care about the students desire to learn and not about which students get the highest grades. Grades should not matter. Knowledge should matter and the amount of it that students care about and should attain in a class should matter.
