Homework

For our blog project we did it on the way we felt about homework and they way a couple of teachers felt about homework. The two teachers were Mr. Mast and Mrs. Orr. First we asked the teachers how they felt about homework. Mr. Mast said he thinks that without it, students are not able to learn and master concepts. Mrs. Orr said she thinks it is important to do individual work but too much can be stressful. We think it refreshes our mind but we shouldn't have too much of it. Another question we asked is how long do you think homework should take. Mr. Mast said he thinks it should take 20-30 minutes a subject. Mrs. Orr said she thinks it should take 2 hours a night at the most for all subjects. We thought it should only take 20-30 minutes for all of it. Mrs. The next question we asked was should we have it or not. Mr. Mast said definitely. Mrs. Orr said yes but not every night, especially Fridays. We said yes but definitely not on weekends. The last question we asked is do you think it helps us get better grades. Mr. Mast said yes if you don't do homework you will probably not do well on tests or quizzes. Mrs. Orr said "I think it helps teachers more than the students". It can help improve grades. We said that it helps us on class work and tests or quizzes. That is how Mr. Mast and Mrs. Orr felt about homework. It is also how we felt about homework.

Seymour School Teacher

This teacher teaches all grades in High school. He/She doesn't teach with the proper techniques. What we do in that class is mostly walk in, read the board get the folders and have class. When the bell rings we leave. On certain days we come to school, mostly on a Sunday, about 2 or 3 times a year. After that we get a party if we were good in class. If you didn't show up that day, you don't get the party, and usually your grade drops to a F. In my opinion, I think we should have it held on Fridays and the kids should be able to pick some things we do in the class. This teacher should treat each class equal because sometimes it feels like he/she puts some students down. I'm not saying this teacher has to change his/her teaching ways, it's just he/she should give a "new way" a shot and maybe it will work out. If it doesn't he/she can go back to his/her way of teaching.
