Making the Grade

Teaching...
Teaching a class is said to be over whelming but rewarding... says Zebulum Dikins, He explains that his passion for being a teacher started back from high school, when a teacher gave him inspiration. He too, wanted to make other people feel inspired.
He explains that on his first day of teaching his own class, it was full of nervousness. Who wouldn't be... having anywhere between 15-26 pairs of eyes all looking at you to show them the next best thing in learning. Evidently he has thought of the next best thing in learning. As a teacher he thought that music and rapping is a good way to install everyday text book learnings into the minds of young children.
Of course there were the ups and down of the job... laughing with the children, and grading the children. He says that he has the toughest time grading the children. He wants to inspire the kids to do well on their work by bumping up their grade a smidgen, but also wants to be fair to the children who do, do their best at working.

What I think

I think that is good to know that there are still good teachers out there who do want to inspire children to learn... instead of teachers who just want a paycheck. I like the fact that these new teachers are able to think up new and interesting ways to grab the attention of the students' minds. I like this article.
