My favorite teacher

When people think about having a favorite teacher, you have to have good reasons for them to be your favorite. For some people their favorite teacher is their favorite because they don't care, they are super cool, or just like to have fun. A majority of these teachers, however, are not the best educators. Wouldn't it be great to have a quality educator be one of the coolest teachers you know?

These educators actually exist in life. Can you believe it? I have one of these teachers. This guy is named Mr. Brown. He is probably one of the best teachers in the school because he knows his stuff and knows how to teach. He also has one of the best sense' of humor that I know. He is always joking around and making sarcastic remarks. However he always does it at the right time. It is also not just him making it at the class, it is the class and him having fun conversations together. This is the second year I have had this man as a teacher. He teachers American History. Even though it is not my favorite class in the world, I always look forward to going to his class. 

The best part about his class though is the fact that I learn so much from his class and enjoy it at the same time. Usually when you get quality education from a teacher, they are normally have a zero BS policy. I remember that I had a math teacher junior year that was a great teacher however he was sort of a mean guy. He could be a cool guy but for the most part he was not as cool as Mr. Brown. I always got singled out because of poor grades. He never though I tried but that was not true. Mr. Brown makes sure you succeed. He gives you all the tools necessary to pass his class. When we do work sheets in class, he always goes a long with us to make sure we have the right answers. I believe that this is the best way possible to go about teaching. It gives a student every opportunity to learn. The only way they would not do well would be if they did not pay attention at all. 

Another reason that Mr. Brown is the greatest ever is the fact that he was named teacher of the year for our school. He is also nominated to be named teacher of the year for the state of North Carolina. I think that it is so col to have a teacher like Mr. Brown who is good enough to be the teacher of the year. 

No matter how many teachers you have in your school years, you will never have a teacher that can compare to the caliber of teaching Mr. Brown has. We need more teachers that have the drive that Mr. Brown has to teach the youth of our great and glorious cool school

Raleigh Conference.

So last Thursday Me and two other classmates, Taylor and Blake, went to this conference in Raleigh called NC Ties. It is a big teacher development conference of sorts where teachers from all over the state come and try to learn new ways to teach their classes. It was a huge honor for Taylor Blake and I to be able to go to this conference. We did two things. The first thing we did was we sat at a table basically while my teacher spoke about our digcit class at a session. She would occasionally throw some questions our way, but for the most part we were eye candy. That was really cool to be able to sit in front of a lot of people like that and have our teacher show some of the stuff that we did. The second thing that we did was a student showcase. This was a lot like the community pitch we did a while back where we had a little booth and we set up the stuff we needed and people walked by and we told them about our class and what we did. It was an amazing experience to be able to talk to all of these people about a class that I was in, in hopes of giving them inspiration to use some of things we do in our class, in their class.

Overall the experience was incredible because I felt like I gained more confidence in myself and my ability to talk to people. Also, I loved feeling like I was at a conference with the teachers like I was supposed to be there.

We also got Jimmy Johns. (Shoutout to Jamie)
