Classroom Comfort

Most classes we take are filled with students who are trying their hardest, not to learn but to stay awake. That is why a teacher who keeps you entertained while helping you learn is usually a favorite among the students. For me, that teacher was my eighth grade Spanish teacher, Ms. Rogers. I liked her because she was different than any other teacher I had ever had before. She treated us like we were adults instead of the children we were. In many ways she was like Ms. Ferenczi from the story “Gryphon.” Both teachers used different methods of teaching to hold our attention. For example, Ms. Rogers used a sarcastic tone with students who didn’t seem to be focused, causing the rest of the class to laugh. Then, everybody would be back on task and learning. Ms Ferenczi made the classroom more welcoming by drawing a tree on the board so they would feel more comfortable. Both of these teachers were popular with their students because of the efforts they made in the classroom.
