A Tale Of Two...

A Tale of Two English Teachers

If you’re looking for the WORST English teacher, you should go to Foothill Knolls Elementary and find a teacher named Mrs. Baldree. I think she’s found it.

Two years ago in 6th grade I had her. She would never help out the students when we needed help. She never let us go to the bathroom even if we were done with all of our work. Also Mrs. Baldree would always sit down instead of walking around helping.
So what did I do?
Nothing.
I could do nothing. When it came close to spring break, we switched teachers Mrs. Baldree became History and Mrs. Lindsey became English.
This was the best idea because, Mrs. LIndsey helped out the students and walked around. She also let us go to the bathroom. This English class was better than Mrs. Baldree’s.
And just a few weeks after that, my grade went from an F to a C+.

If you’re looking for the BEST English teacher, you should head over to Upland Jr. High and find a teacher named Mr. Vega. I think he’s found it.

Mr. Vega is a hard working,funny, and SUPER nice teacher. He helps out the students, he makes the students laugh, but most important.....he’s the BEST English teacher I ever had. Mr. Vega knows what to do! He understands English, he works hard to help us understand English, and lastly he taught me how to understand stage fright.

And what did I do?

This is just an opinion, but I think it would be better if people like Mrs. Baldree would stick to History, because English is not her style. I mean if she’s old enough to teach it she must be old enough to remember it.
Here’s a kid just trying to learn the helpfulness of English and what do I get for that? A bad teacher who’s not wanting to help the kids learn the value of English.
Here’s the local school-Foothill Knolls Elementary-trying to get the best teachers for the kids, at the best price and best learning ability, and what do they get for their effort? A teacher who doesn’t know what’s up and a bunch of angry kids.
What if the teacher had been better? Would the kids focus more? Get better grades? Listen to her?
I told my mom but she said let it go. I told my dad and he said let it go. I didn’t let it go till I got a different teacher. “Finally, I don’t have Mrs. Baldree anymore,” I said.
Just imagine that.

So what did I do when I got Mr. Vega? I was happy because my moms friends daughter went to this school, and told me what a good teacher he is. “Mom I got Mr. Vega,” I told her.

She then replied,”That’s nice I have to tell Judy about that.”

So my mom told her friend about me having Mr. Vega and I told her that he is a great teacher. I’ve worked hard for good grades. I’ve tried to be here everyday. Heck, I even pay attention now.

“I’d like to be a teacher one day,” I said.

As of now, all I have to do is graduate from high school and pass college.

What are the kids supposed to do? They already not pay attention. Maybe it would be better if we just got rid of her? Hey; that was a good essay. No A for you.
I did my best in English. So what’s that supposed to do, keep kids interested all year? The kid’s are not gonna be interested in English if a teacher is lazy, and a poor helper.
Anyway, I’m in 8th grade now. If you’re going to Foothill Knolls I hope you don’t get Mrs. Baldree.

And what did I get for Mr. Vega being the best English teacher? What did the other kid’s get for having the best English teacher, a hard worker, and a funny guy?
We got good grades.
We all worked hard for this. Mr. Vega worked hard to be the best English teacher. Now Mr. Vega will be known as the best English teacher YOU could get if you come to Upland Jr. High in Upland, Ca.
If you come to this school for 8th grade I hope you get Mr. Vega. He is the best English teacher you could get. Even college teacher’s aren’t as great as him. That’s how good Mr. Vega is at what he does best! I know you would rather have money, but if you have Mr. Vega you will find a great job. Because when you’re older, you can say in your job interview that you passed English in 8th grade with an A.
No, it’s not $1,000
It’s much, much better.
