The Student and the Teacher

               Hello, my name is Sam Mathewson and I am a Sophomore that is currently going to Reading Memorial  High School. This is the first blog for my History 10 course, and is the first time that my teacher has gone paperless. I am looking forward to not have to carry a binder to my class and not have to worry about having paper. I think that  going electronic has greatly improved how a classroom works in that there is less to forget and information is much more accessible making learning easier.

  A teacher that is great is one that listens to their students, explains the curriculum well and is available for extra help frequently. If a teacher is able to listen to their students they are able to get feedback on how well they might be teaching something or what could be improved upon in the lesson. This also creates a better teaching environment because it connects the student and the teacher better than if a teacher did not listen. Second, if the curriculum was explained well by the teacher almost no student would be confused. This would be a very good class because you would hardly ever be confused about the class.Lastly, if a teacher is available for extra help a lot then it clears up a lot of questions you might have because you would be able to see the teacher after school for extra help which would be very beneficial if you were confused.Two great teachers that I had in the past were Mr. Downes and Mr.Smith. They both were great at explaining the lessons and they both were able to be asked questions after school on a daily basis. Something specific that could be done to help me is to explain the lessons very well.

I agree with what John Green said about the duties of a student to do amazing things from their education. I agree with this statement because the purpose of school is to do a job you love, but also to give back to society because they were the ones that get an education in the first place. This intern will improve our society in two ways because people will invent new things to help us while the population gets smarter. My academic goals this year is to do well in all my classes and to play sports that I want to play during the year. I am going to achieve my goals by working hard in school and try to succeed at what I am doing.
