third paper final draft

I think sports should be a big part in school all through k12 and in college too because sports are an incentive to keep your grades high, they keep you focused and on task, and they keep your energy level high and keep you in good shape. I also think that sports should be free. I know sports are a big thing in some schools but all the schools I have been too I never hear anything about sports and if I do you have to pay for it.

                Sports give students incentive to do well in school. If the student really wants to play sports they will do whatever they have to do to stay on the team. Including in that, getting high grades and keeping a steady pace of high grades. I feel sorry for the people who want to play sports and get super good grades but they do not have enough money to play sports or the school just thinks that they are not good enough because they do not have the money. Also the other peers who make fun of the nerdy students who don’t have enough money to be involved in sports when they are not even good at sports and are just there to get scholarships. I personally think that all students no matter how much money they have, if they are smart enough or whatever should have a chance to do whatever they would want to do in life.

                Sports keep students on task and focused because if they did not stay focused they would not be able to stay on the team. I think they also stay focused and on task so they don’t waste the money they have put into being on the team that they are on. I am sure if the schools and teams did not make you pay for the sports that the students who really wanted to do sports would still stay focused and on task. I think it is crap that students have to pay on top of doing their best in school just to do something that they want to do. On the other hand it is probably a really good idea to have good academics be a requirement to play sports. But out of all the money that people pay to be in college, that should go towards whatever you would want to do in school.

                Playing sports keeps your body in good shape. The main idea of sports for young kids is to give them the skills and knowledge that’s necessary to keep their bodies healthy the older they get. Movement is a huge part of how they learn. In order to keep kids focused and motivated sports must be fun and interactive. Nowadays college has all these weight training classes and yoga and fast fitness and stuff like that when back in the old days all there was were sports. Sports were all you needed to keep your body in shape. In rolls another reason why people should not have to pay for sports. The colleges keep buying all this gym equipment and supplies for yoga and paying people to teach that sort of stuff when all that money could be going towards sports and people to coach the teams. I think it would give the schools a much better turn out rate for people to graduate too because they would want to get high grades so they could stay in their sports.  

                 It seems like there are a few different categories of people and two of them are the people who play sports and the people who do drugs. it seems like people who do drugs are not interested in playing sports so that must mean that people who play sports often are real hard core drug addicts. It also seems that the majority of kids who play sports have never touched a drug and would never touch a drug because the sport is their drug. 

                         All in all i think sports should be free. i also think they should be a bigger part of the schools around here.

2nd paper revised final draft

My favorite teacher of all time that sticks in my mind the most and that I remember the most would have to be one of my seventh through ninth grade teachers at Central Kitsap Alternative Junior High School. She was the best teacher in all my years of schooling because she was very understanding, she made learning fun, and because of her loving and caring ways.                   

                Mrs. Faulkner was very understanding. She is one of the best teachers in the world. If students wouldn’t get their work done on time she wouldn’t just fail them she would give them extra time to get their stuff done correctly. If there was something going on in their life she would make the effort to try and get them to talk about it, to see if she could find a solution to try and help them and get them through it. She was so passionate about her relationship with her students and the other faculty at the school. It was like it was her only life and she was put on this earth to be the best teacher she could be.

                Mrs. Faulkner had a tendency to make learning fun. She also kept the students occupied while doing so. It seemed like all the students at the school had their own issues and that’s why they were at an Alternative school. She would teach math by translating problems into problems about drugs. Now it seems very un cool of her to do such a thing but it got the students to pay attention and to keep them learning. Mrs. Faulkner made the learning experience a very nice time for the students. She would bring candy to do math problems with. They were in Junior High and candy should not have excited them the way it did but hey whatever gets them to learn right. This one day they were all so rowdy when she walked in and she couldn’t get them to chill out so she told all of them to go outside and she took them up to the field and made them run laps. There was no gym at the school and this was probably the cause of their rambunctiousness. When they got back to the class everybody was laid back and ready to start their school work. She was a very smart teacher and knew how to get the attention of the students without them even realizing what exactly she was doing. When they had to write papers and didn’t have any idea what to write about she would jot down a list of topics to write about and give it to the students to pick from them. A lot of students who probably wouldn’t have passed if they had not been in Mrs. Faulkner’s class did because she knows what it takes to get delinquents to want to learn or to be teachable.

                Mrs. Faulkner was extremely loving and also very caring. It’s very obvious that she has had her heart broken by a few students who she has jumped through hoops for to get them to succeed and it just gets shoved back in her face but she does not give them a chance to break her. For the simple fact that she knows that there are more students to come into her line of teaching that she can also help and maybe not get it thrown back in her face. She doesn’t only teach students academics but she also teaches students how to love and let people in who are just trying to help them succeed. One time she had a very bad family tragedy happen in her life but she didn’t even take time out of her life to recover from it. She came to school the very next day and opened up to her students about what had happened. She wasn’t worried about what the students would say about it or what the teachers would think about her telling the students. Which also probably made her students open up to more and not worry about what they were going to tell their teacher.

                I have no idea how I made it to tenth grade but I know it had something to do with Mrs. Faulkner. I still to this day go back and visit her and I can see when I tell her how my life is going today that it lightens her face. I love Mrs. Faulkner and give her a lot of credit for the person she has helped make me into.

2nd paper final draft

My favorite teacher of all time that sticks in my mind the most and that I remember the most would have to be one of my seventh through ninth grade teachers at Central Kitsap Alternative Junior High School. She was the best teacher in all my years of schooling because she was very understanding, she made learning fun, and because of her loving and caring ways.                   

                Mrs. Faulkner is one of the best teachers in the world. I remember when I first got to the alternative school and I was so upset. I felt like crap because I couldn’t handle regular junior high school. I was angry and I acted like it was the teachers fault. I didn’t even know them and I was already taking stuff out on them. I wasn’t giving them a chance to teach me and I wasn’t giving myself a chance to figure out that this school was amazing and so were the teachers.

                The school was a portable in the back of Central Kitsap Junior High school and it taught grades seven through nine. It had a morning session for the early birds and an afternoon session for kids like me who were there just for the fact that there was no getting them up in the morning.

                I remember the first day that I really felt that I could go somewhere with this school and that maybe they weren’t so bad after all. I was sitting there stressing about a situation that was going on in my family and how I was supposed to tie school into that when Mrs. Faulkner walked up because she had noticed something  was wrong with me. She asked me to come to the staff room with her. I immediately thought “Great. What did I do now?” I followed her into the staff room very suspiciously. She pulled out a chair, sat down and the look in her eye was of anguish. She started to speak softly. She knew something was up. She told me that she could feel that something was going on and informed me that if I ever needed to talk to someone about anything that she was all ears. I started to go on about the situation and I started crying. I looked up after a couple moments and it looked as if she had gotten a tear in her eye. She also informed me that if I needed time to get my schoolwork finished that that would be fine. Right then I knew that this lady was as compassionate as me. That I could bond with her and confide in her. From that moment on I knew things would be ok and it was all because of her.

                 A couple months passed by and we kept getting closer. There were several teachers at this school and she was the only one I would go to for any question or even to turn in my work. It was like I was still in grade school and she was my only teacher.

                Mrs. Faulkner made the learning experience a very nice time for me and I’m sure a few hundred other students. She would bring candy to do math problems with. Now I know we were in Junior High and candy should not have excited us the way it did but hey whatever gets us to learn right. I remember this one day we were all so rowdy when she walked and she couldn’t get us to chill out so she told us all to go outside and she took us up to the field and made us run laps. There was no gym at our school and this was probably the reason for our rambunctiousness. When we got back to the class everybody was laid back and ready to start their school work. She was a very smart teacher and knew how to get our attention without us realizing what exactly she was doing.

                I was in a very dark place for most of my Junior High years. There were times I would not come in to school for weeks on end and when I did it was just to eat and sleep. On days like these I would feel bad about coming back after being gone for so long without a phone call or anything but I knew that Mrs. Faulkner was worried and she would love to see my face and know that I am alright.

                I can recall one day I came back after being gone for a while and it was really close to being time for our class to graduate on to high school. I had a feeling that I wasn’t going to be able to graduate since I had probably only been there a year and a half out of the three years of junior high. She wanted to talk to me so once again we went to the staff room and she sat me down again. She informed me that I was not on the track of graduating. I started crying. Although I knew it was coming. She then informed me that she had pulled some strings and if I followed her regulations I would graduate. I thought it was going to be some tremendous foot work that I would have to put it. She then said to me “Chelan, if you just come to school for two weeks everyday for both sessions and do all the work that you have missed,  I will set back the due date for you.” I right then broke down and wanted to kiss her feet.

                The next two weeks were hell and I wanted to quit so many times but she was right there by my side, encouraging me on and I knew I couldn’t let her down. Especially with all the strings that she pulled for me.

                I have no idea how I made it to tenth grade but I know it had something to do with Mrs. Faulkner. I still to this day go back and visit her and I can see when I tell her how my life is going today that it lightens her face. I love Mrs. Faulkner and give her a lot of credit for the person she has helped make me into.

stand and deliver part 3 and 4

Mr. Escalante is a very dedicated teacher. He has the desire to prove to the school and the students that they can do calculus. He spends all his time teaching. Sixty hours a week plus more and when he starts having problems with his wife he still don’t back down. He even starts teaching English to older people. Even during Mr. Escalante’s mild heart attack he is still thinking about his students and wants another doctor because the first one said he should have no work related activities. He immediately gets back to school even though he should be in bed. When they accuse the students of cheating it breaks Raymonds heart. I think at first he believes that they did cheat. He even goes to the board and tries to do whatever he can to set things straight. He gets insulted when they ask him to let the students retest, which is totally understandable, but he wants to prove them wrong because he is so dedicated to these students.  They all pass and there are no misunderstandings this time. Mr. Escalante is an amazing teacher. All teachers should have the drive to teach their students like he does. This was an amazing movie and it made me cry.
