You Get What You Give

Society today has made us feel like the number given to us at the top of our paper determines our self worth as a student. As teachers assign universal test dates, projects and their requirements, it is now in the hands of the students to determine the outcome. The amount of dedication, personal flare and quality going in to each assignment completely relies on the student. As soon as an assignment is given out, my main priority is to do as best as I can. When I feel as though I can't improve my work anymore and have met the requirements, I have completed my assignment. The best way to ensure myself that my school assignments have met my needs and my teacher's, is my personal satisfaction towards my work. In high school, teachers want their students to thrive in their subjects, helping them each step of the way. It is never a bad idea to form a good relationship between the teacher and their student, gaining more respect and knowledge equally on both sides of the party. Teachers are respectable figures in our lives, learning from them every day. The majority of teachers give their students the right to voice their opinions and to express themselves, being able to show their interests. Ms Reidel's idea of a feedback sheets gives her students the right to voice their opinions and to have a say in what they like, dislike and want to change in the class. She is allowing her students to share their interests, while also meeting her expectations. If students would stop labelling teachers as the "bad guys" and start realizing that they're there to help, school would be a more enjoyable place for everyone.  Be respectful, appropriate and hardworking. You can't fail with those qualities.
