Paper 2 - Help


I'm not quite solid on this yet so maybe you guys can help me. The idea I am going for is... Somewhere along the lines of a teacher should be a like best friend, but in a difference sense. From my experience, my favorite teachers were people I could sit down after class and talk to, about anything. These were the classes I learned the most from as well. Making that connection with teachers like Mr. Burchill and Mr. Wilson were the reasons I went to school. They made the effort to make connections with us students and it made me want to listen, learn and do the best I could. If you can make class enjoyable on that kind of level like they did for me then you are doing it right as a teacher.
The problem I am having though is that, A teacher should be a best friend, is kind of a wacky thesis idea. It's not even that they are like a best friend, more like a counselor, but not even that. You know, not just someone that is a wealth of knowledge, but someone that you can talk to and they talk to you. Not even just on the issue in my life, but about what we did on the weekends and how things were. Without sacrificing that student teacher bond. I mean in my mind to describe that kind of person is to someone would to call them a teacher. So I need some input on how to sum it up for a thesis then fully lay it out in the paper.

  1. So I'm thinking that what your getting at is a techer needs to be approachable or easy to communicate with. You want to be able to see your teachers as human instead of a an all knowing authority.
