How Do You Perceive Someone?
Irene Sallons Introduction to College writing
How do you perceive someone?
In a gloomy and dark classroom a student is sitting in the back of the class.
The classroom reminds you of a small prison with windows, and the instructor as the warden. As she sits and takes notes, and listens carefully to what the instructor tells the class, she is wondering why she is not feeling herself.” I wish I knew a way to express myself or a way to let the instructor know I do not really like him.”

Every day in class she finds the seat, as far away from the front of the class, she looks what the instructor writes on the board. Taking notes and looking in her text book so she can have a better understanding. A fellow student asks a question and was given an answer that had nothing to do with what the question was. The students are getting very upset that he never answers the questions. The student decides to look for a word that really explains on how she is feeling. In the dictionary she look’s a word that really says it all “nettlesome” which means “Causing irritation, vexation, or distress.”

Now that she knows it she is trying to figure out how she can deal with the situation. As the student thinks she says to herself “Maybe if I tell the instructor that he is causing nettlesome in her life.” But then again College always is a hard thing to do but it is something to be proud of. Every day the instructor nettlesome the students, to the point that they would prefer not to have him as a teacher. She realizes that it is up to her to find a way to deal with the challenge and find a solution.
The student is now in a much calmer frame of mind trying to put the past in the past. Everyday as she walks into the classroom she starts to feel the animosity from the instructor. She sits and ponders what will happen next and if she can persevere the feelings she has inside of not being a

    Charlotte Johnston been sitting at a black top table surrounded by a group of chatty students her own age. And hadn't been paying much attention to what the teacher was saying, because everything zoned out, besides appearances and movements. Mr. Hube was wearing a bright purple sweater with tan khakis, and was extra fidgety. Something got him all hot and bothered, and it was obvious. His pale blue eyes glanced the room, and the pauses, he worried his lower lip, driving Charlotte crazy, that his outfit choice was bold for a teacher and that he appeared nervous to speak in front of his own class.…

    It shows how the teachers interact with students, and how students react with the teachers. In that meager setting at Oakcity High School with Mr. Bartlett, he doesn’t cater to students needs. He does things in a strict basic formatted setting because “...on any job they get outside of school, there’s going to be a certain formats they must follow to be successful on the job. McDonald’s, there’s a certain way of frying French fries. There’s a certain was of customer service. They have to learn that format”.(pg. 661) He feels as though his students are unable to comprehend those in depth discussions. He teaches basic ideals and principals, then tests students on them. He also feels that all of his students are “somewhat on the same level”(pg. 661). His basic teaching format of “read a section, complete the section handout, take section quiz, repeat daily for five days, take chapter test Friday”(pg. 662) is completely unacceptable and demoralizes students. One student, Monique says “I want to go to college, but... if this is boring here I’m going to be bored in college”. This apathy towards students highly affects them…

    Classroom 3-A, Hajime couldn't tell if he was lucky or unlucky to be in a classroom with his peers. The faces he found familiar were outnumbered by the many unfamiliar faces. His saving grace was that his homeroom teacher was a breath of fresh air compare to the painfully boring teacher his earlier year. None worse than his freshman teacher who would yell at them about how entitle their generation was from the clothes they wear to the technology they used.…

    I’m surprised she hasn’t already been fired, just because of her personal life. Weekly, Miss Clare walks into class and asks us how we like the latest thing she stole from the shopping mall. We all wonder how she hasn’t been caught yet, and how the principal hasn’t found out about her illegal activities outside of the classroom. She constantly tells us there is nothing wrong in taking things that aren’t yours if you’re too poor to buy it yourself. On top of that, Miss Clare comes in on most Mondays drunker than a barstool bum. I don’t know how she is even able to drive to school without killing herself or someone else. When she sits in her chair at her desk she can barely keep from falling out of it. The principal must know about her drunken Mondays.…

    This essay tries to show that students are not alone. Whenever they are frustrated, there are teachers to help them. Maybe, this might be true, but I think about how many students really depend on teachers when they feel frustrated. I don’t want to be negative, but, though teachers are always sitting in their office, there are just a few students who look for them to talk about something. This is the reality, so I feel like this story is just about a utopia that we have ever dreamed. For me, teachers are still on a top of line and they are the people who I can’t approach easily because of their status. This is the reason that I was mad a little bit because the reality that I live is not in the same situation like the story.…

    If his student is active in class, it shouldn’t be hard to do and turn in the assignments on time. It sounds to me that his student does not have any support or motivation outside of the classroom. If he is in class, he stays motivated and active but he does not do anything outside of the class. I think his student is just lazy and don’t want to do the class work. He will never pass anything with these bad habits.…

    Apparently, being a student teacher can sometimes make you vulnerable in the classroom. It can make you look naive and innocent in front of students and almost leaves you at their disposal if they don’t want to cooperate. I always wondered if this was the case, if the students could sense a student teacher as they filed into your class for the first time. I didn’t know, and I didn’t want to find out when I was already…
