She's not like, really mean or anything, she's just not a good teacher. Because: - YOU CAN'T HAVE A MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST ON POETRY!!! - she made like...six or seven spelling errors on friday alone. - she can't read out loud either. Especially poetry. You're supposed to pause when there's a space in poetry. -i'm still bitter about the short story thing. - Grammar is not something you do a unit on. You spend a little time at the begginning of class on grammar, and then you move on to interesting things. -she always repeats the same points over and over again, when they're things that everyone understands quite well.
Plus, she's not Miss Hoppes. Which is a bad thing. I don't have Mrs. Smith, but I've heard her talk. She sounds like the bueller, bueller guy.

- Apparently you can have multiple choice on a poetry test. Really; its logical. Why can't you? I don't see why not. Its just like having multiple choice on anything else, except that its poetry. - Hannah, she's human. Humans make mistakes, which include spelling errors. And didn't you hear her? She said that she typed it VERY late at night and stuff. - Just because she isn't perfect at reading poetry doesn't mean she is a bad teacher. O.O - Hannah, ze short story thing I understand. But it was a while ago! - Arizona and Spokane are different places. Just because she is probably required to teach units on grammer doesn't mean she is a bad teacher. Seriously. - Teacher's usually do repeat. When they don't, people might not understand. Now, even if we all understand it the first time, she probably is just making sure. Not everyone understands something the first time; I don't. Its very helpful when teachers repeat.
Seriously. I don't see why you hate her. She is a very cool teacher!

Hannah, Mrs. Ward isnt the only one who teaches like that, all the language arts teachers do! GET OVER IT! Mrs. Weatherhead did the same thing. it is the way they were taught how to teach in spokane. And you can have a multiple choise test on poetry!, THE WASl DOES!, and i dont hear you complaining about how the WASL did a mulitiple choise test on poetry. And maybe your story wasnt A material ever think about that!.

yeah, the WASL is so wonderful and a very accurate measure of intelligence, and really useful. NOT!! And, you're completely wrong. I complain about the WASL and all standardized tesing waaaaaayyyy too much. All the time. You can't have a multiple choice test on poetry because poetry is a matter of opinion. It's about your interpretation of an author's words. There is no right answer. There is when you're talking about sound devices and stuff, but when you're asking about them an author's intention and all that, there canNOT be one right answer. And I wasn't talking about the spelling errors she made on a sheet. I was talking about the ones she made during class. She DID teach grammar. She taught grammar very well. We had tests on it and all that. But in order to make it so that our brains weren't completely numbed by horrible, unthinkable boredome, she would do little worksheets and go over them, and then we would move on to interesting, fun, useful projects. She repeats things that everyone understands!

Ok. DONt worry! Be happy! everyone sing! start having a... great life. something something INSPIRATION! lets not fight lalalala
I loved Mrs Weatherhead. But she could be very intimidating, or so i thought. And, i dont think Mrs ward is the best teacher. I dont think she is a horrible teacher, because i have fun in her class sometimes. I dont think in 32.7 years i will remember anythink she taught in her class though.

Get over what? I'm not under anything. I just don't like Mrs. Ward. I said that, because she is my least favorite teacher and that was the intention of the thread. Then dnell said Mrs. Ward wasn't that bad, so I simply gave my reasoning for disliking her. Another thing I forgot to mention was that she'd never heard of or needless to say read The Tin Drum. That's just...not right in a language arts teacher. And she said Catch-22 was the hardest book she ever read. That book was not "hard" it was clever and compelling. I just don't agree with her teaching methods. She's not mean or unfair most of the time. She's just not a good teacher. I've learned like....nothing useful in her class.

I say we forget the teachers. They're small fry. Who we need to go for is Bush and the no child left behind act. You got to cut off the head to kill the snake. (figuratively speaking of course) The teachers are asses because they have to stuff as much knowledge as possible so the federal funding isn't cut and the schools taken over by the government. imagine how school would be then. all because of the N.C.L.B. Act. So forget the teachers. It's not their fault they have to be jerks and rush lessons. They don't even get a decent pay for it.
