How every classroom
should work!
1. Every Child Has Their Own Story to Tell
2. Teachers should all be caring,
understanding, and enthusiastic
3. There should be educational lessons and life lessons in
instruction
4. Teachers have several different jobs- not just an educator
Nurse
Counselor
Police Officer
Lawyer
Mediator
5. All students have a special talent- make
their strengths shine!
6. Every teacher has a purpose in the
classroom
7. There should be no teachers’ pets in the
classroom
9. Every student has a right to be educated
8. No student should be afraid to speak up
10. Learning should be fun!!
I interviewed several people
about their personal thoughts about
education. Here are their responses…
Question: If you could change one aspect of the classroom what would it
be?
Sheryl Ridder- 5th Grade classroom teacher at Butterfield School in Libertyville
“Longer recess times and a period everyday for teacher’s plan time. You need longer recess because the kids’ energy is still sky high, even for 5th grade”
Question: What would you add to a classroom to make learning better?
Cheryl Marsh- 3rd Grade Teacher at Adler School in Libertyville
“More technology use- I mean, we are lucky to have great technology already put in our school, like a student does the morning announcements over a T.V, but I would really like a smart board”
Question: What do you think about teacher’s
salaries?
Bonnie Taylor- Kindergarten Teacher at Oak Grove School in Green Oaks
“Awful just awful, but I bet all teachers can agree, we don’t teach for the money we teach because we love children and want to be in school for the rest of our lives (ha ha)”
Question: How do you define the “perfect
teacher”?
Barb Mudd- 5th Grade Teacher at Butterfield school in Libertyville
“The perfect teacher adores children and takes their time planning lessons, want to change the lives of the youth of America, and making a difference in a child’s life”
