DEADLINES-DEADLINES!!! Veronique Parker clowns around as Mrs. K says with a smile on her lace, How are those deadlines coming along girls? MAKE YOUR MARK IN LIFE. Mrs Lords is about to make her mark, not in lite, but on Anthony Marquez with her famous eraser trick. GUESS WHO? The unknown comic returns. This time in 4-D But only Mrs. Hastings knows who these masked men are. Can friendships get too close with students? Yes, one year a student of mine passed out flyers for a after prom party and gave my address, and even had a map on the back -Mr. Keller Taking charge and showing authority, while sharing personal experiences and human compassion, the trick is knowing the difference between buddy-buddy and a true friend, knowing where to draw the line. 44 Everyone get out their test papers , The teacher says. The authority is still there yet she laughs when someone drops their book and makes a silly mistake. My favorite teacher. She was in charge, and everyone knew she was our friend. She would laugh with us, perhaps sometimes at us and even comment on her personal experiences which might help us. Teachers must of course have the upper hand and must be able to take charge and teach but I believe that if she is liked then the quality of learning time will be greatly increased. Being liked takes a small effort and with high school students, I believe that it takes alot more effort. With elementary teachers its easier. The children love their teachers, they honor them, look up to them, they really love them, they can do no wrong. A high school teacher on the other hand is often criticized and given the hard time. Teachers should be able to relate to their students. This in fact may help them to understand maybe their reasoning or their moods. I have had The pleasure , of having a teacher who might of taught us about math but definately didn ' t teach us anything about friendship or human compassion. He came to school everyday and tuaght and never once acted as if he liked us. On the other hand I had a teacher who taught me many academic skills but also taught me things about life itself. She was everyones friend and was always there if one needed to talk yet she was strong and stood firm to the rules in her classroom. We became great friends inside and outside of school and eventually when I left school we started doing things like going shopping together. I really believe that teachers, because of the fact that we see them fives days a week, are very important to our growing up. Wouldn ' t we rather grow up in a friendly atmosphere then one governed and ruled by inconsiderate teachers? It ' s a difficult line to see, but there should be one there which separates the relationships of teacher and buddy-buddy. A happy medium would be nice. — Wendy Brown Faculty-107
