    In his beginning years, Jesness believed in giving appropriate grades. However; once he started failing students, the principal and parents took notice. He soon found himself having a meeting with both over the given grades. He argued that the children received appropriate grades due to plagiarized work and forged assignments. For the next few weeks, Jesness was watched everyday by the principal. “Every spitball, every chattering student, every bit of graffiti was noted”, he says. Every time he sent a student to the office, it was just more “evidence” that “he could not handle a classroom.” Making it impossible for him to teach, Jesness left his teaching career for one year.…

In her interview with Kathy Taylor, she explains how her son Nolan was not ready to start because he was behind in skills. She was also told that he was not quite ready to focus for longer periods of time. She put her faith in the teachers’ advice based on their knowledge, and after the fact she has no regrets about her decision. She states, “Today we have an 8-year-old boy who is happy socially, and the appropriate levels for reading and math as he is preparing to enter 2nd grade this fall as the second oldest in his class. While bright, he is not ahead.” She figures that if necessary it’s in the child’s best interest for him/her to be held back in order to more develop the skills they need in order to succeed in the earlier stage of their learning…

    We are writing to you to advocate for the continuance of Miss. Degenhardt’s (Profe) teaching career at Darien High School. We write with the purpose to make you aware of Profe’s profound impact on the community and the growth of her students both in the context of academics and ethics; her notable qualities and dedication to her profession are of a role model. While Profe’s style of teaching is unorthodox at some points, this unorthodoxy provides students with a diverse and meaningful education in an otherwise, orthodox day. A quality that is central to Profe’s teaching and persona is her receptiveness to student opinion, which in our opinion should be a constant in all student-teacher relationships. For example, if a student feels that a decision in terms of either a grade or punishment she made was unjust, Profe is fully open to a one-on-one discussion, either during a mutual free or before or after school. Profe’s actions reject the notion of “my way or the highway” and epitomize the characteristic of open-mindedness: a quality that is crucial in our increasingly globally connected society. For a personal anecdote, during a student’s sophomore year he felt that he did not deserve grade X; therefore, he approached Profe and asked to meet with her before school. The student and Profe discussed the grade and while the grade remained unchanged, he had a better understanding as to why he received grade X and how he can avoid receiving grade X in the future. In another, unrelated circumstance, Profe organizes an annual in-class food drive to afford families in the Bronx a decent Thanksgiving meal, which reveals her altruism and devotion to paying it forward. Moments such as these are what define Profe’s impact and overall career to DHS and academia. As a community, we are here to support a teacher who has supported us. Thank you in advance for your time.…

    This book has easily become one of the top books I have read as a Liberty University student since the principles that it includes are extremely applicable. Immediately after I had read about “The Law of the Learner,” I repented of how I used to think. Because I was lazy, I would put the blame on the student if he or she were failing, rather than striving to work harder and learn different ways I could create learners. However, after reading Wilkinson’s writings and stories, I desired to be a teacher who would not tolerate students who are not paying attention. Namely, I would do whatever it takes to have students learn, rather than blaming them for not learning. In addition, while I read “The Law of Expectations,” I reminisced of a student pastor actively…
