Math
Education is the most powerful weapon in which you can change the world and teachers have that power. In school I always had a hard time with math and I never really had any teachers that cared to help me. My freshman year of highschool I was put into an Algebra honors class. Mrs. Ahlbrand was the teacher that finally cared enough to help even though, she had a million other students. She is the one teacher that has helped me through my toughest subject. She’s also helped me with my future classes.
Math in school has always been my weakest subject. I can’t stand sitting through the notes. I hate doing the homework, because there’s always atleast one problem I don’t know how to do. Not only did I have trouble with the work, but in class …show more content…

My freshman year I had Mrs. Ahlbrand for algebra 1 honors. Mrs. Ahlbrand was really nice and caring. She is super helpful and always knew how to answer my questions. She also made me feel comfortable when it came to do algebra. When she would teach I usually wouldn’t have to study the material, because she made it stick.
I have a new teacher this year and she isn’t has as helpful or caring as Mrs. Ahlbrand, but she is a good teacher. I now have an easier time with algebra, because of Mrs.Ahlbrand and I have an easier time with geometry. Geometry has a lot of Algebra review in it and also uses equations for some of the problems. Alot of the lessons are easier, because I remember them from class last year. I don’t really like math still, but Mrs. Ahlbrand was by far the best math teacher I have had. She has helped me with my weakest subject and I hope I have her for Algebra 2 next year.
I now don’t have a hard time with math anymore. I now understand it better. I’m more comfortable with it. My teacher from last year actually cared and helped me throughout the whole year. I hope I have her next year for algebra 2. I don’t love math, but I’m glad I’m comfortable with it, because My dream career deals with

    Mrs. Plot, one of the hardest English teachers in Murray County High School, was my teacher that year. She was a very determined and driven teacher that did not tolerate her students to fail her class, even if they were lazy. I had heard horror stories from her former students, but she was nothing like they said she was. She was the only teacher that I have connected with all throughout school. I looked forward to her class every morning because she always made learning fun. Mrs. Plot gave out good advice about English, but she also gave me personal advice and was more of a friend to me. She always knew what to say to me when I had problems. She motivated me to do better with my writing; we went to a journalism class together every week that year. Mrs. Plot deepened my love for reading and writing. Without her, I would not be the kind of student I am today. On every assignment in her class, I got the most feedback and it helped me out a lot. It took me a long time to become a decent writer, but with her help she sped up the process. I put all of my effort in every single paper I have written, especially for her

What is a teacher? After 13 years of school, believe me, I have an extremely good idea of what a teacher is. Two teachers began to teach me, my father and my mother. The poet Ann Taylor wrote, "Who taught my infant lips to pray, And love God’s holy book and day, And walk in wisdom’s pleasant way? My Mother."

  • The Problem With Overcrowded Classrooms

    "Amy, you are really getting great at memorizing you times tables," said Mrs. Field, my first grade math teacher, "here is your sticker, and I will put a star next to your name for finishing the 3's times table!" I loved receiving my stickers and I especially loved getting a star next to my name. These small acts made me feel so special, that I had really done something great. This is how I remember my teachers from kindergarten until the fourth grade. Every teacher I had was encouraging, loving, and supportive of each student that they taught. If one student fell behind, the teacher made extra sure to teach and re-teach the subject until it was understood. Once I entered the fifth grade and into middle and high school, each teacher that I had tried to be encouraging, loving, and supportive of their students; however, my teachers often had too many students to give the individual attention that so many children need. When I began to fall behind in certain subjects, my teachers tried to help but were often unable to teach and re-teach, because they had no choice but to continue on with their lesson plans. I continued to fall further and further behind; therefore, I had to spend many hours after school working on my homework problems with my parents. Up until the fifth grade, I attended private school with about 15-20 students in my class; from the fifth grade on, I attended public school with about 30-35 students in each of my classes. This high number of students in my public school classrooms had a negative effect on my learning experiences.
