Friday Five #2
1. Who was your favorite teacher?
Mr. Bone- he was absolutely amazing!
2. Why was that teacher so special?
He was my English teacher from my first year at secondary school, and his lessons were the greatest. He had a constant supply of hilarious anecdotes to lighten up the most dreary of lessons, and was the most supportive and understanding of all staff members. He treated students as mature adults, and when he said, "I'm always here to help" you knew he meant it. It was a sad day when he left.
3. Do you think teachers get paid enough?
Nowhere near enough for the sort of abuse they get daily, from both students and parents.
4. Do you have a favorite year of school?
Looking back, I really miss all of junior school- especially Y.3 and Y.6. That said, I loved this year of Sixth Form, even if I hated it at the start- it really improved.
5. If you could travel back in time and tell yourself something now that would have helped you get through school, what would you say?
I would point at the group of friends I have now, and tell my younger self to make friends with them sooner.
