Idea's for Paper #2

In paper number two, I will be writing about my experience with two teachers (good and bad) that I had in high school. I think one of the worst teachers I’ve ever had is my biology teacher sophomore year. For one, he couldn’t control the students at all, and two he didn’t know how to teach. He would sit in his corner asking questions straight out of the book, while we would sit there playing cards, playing on our phones, eating, or whatever we wanted to do, not paying any attention to him at all. The other students would constantly mock him and make fun of him all the time, but he never really did anything about it. In this class we would have tests every couple weeks. Since he kept the tests in plain sight, some students would just take pictures of the tests and then hand out people all of the answers on test day for a small fee. The majority of the time we took tests, almost all of the students cheated and got good scores.  The reason why this teacher was bad is because he didn’t like teaching, and he didn’t know how to control high school students.

I think one of the best teachers I ever had was Mr. Rittman. He taught me geometry when I was a sophomore and then algebra 3 when I was a senior.  He was one of my favorite teachers because he treated us just like he would his own children.  Each day he would go through our homework step by step and solve every problem for us. Then he would always ask if we had any questions or needed more examples or anything before he would give us the next assignment. Every time we would do something right, he would always make sure to award us with a licorice. Having these two teachers at once really made me realize what qualities a good teacher has, and I think I can write a good paper comparing these two.
