What Teachers Should Expect..

Teachers should always expect the most. And with these expectations it should be evident that your students are aware of this. If your students know that you have confidence in them it is a good chance that you will try harder. I have noticed throughout the many years of being a student teachers have different standards and expectations for different students. The teacher may push one student to get an A, while he/she only pushes the other to get a C. I think this may be based on what they have noticed the students to receive on other assignments. I believe that you should always push for the maximum for all your students, treating them equally, and giving all of them the same opportunity. This motivation will encourage them to do better. If they see that you don't really care as their teacher, or doesn't expect much from them, they won't try as hard as they could to succeed. If you know that your student has tried their best and still didn't receive an A, you should commend them for their works and still encourage them to reach that goal of an A, adn not settle for less.

Homework

I think the goal of homework is of course supposed to help students, but that doesn't necessarily mean it does. Homework is supposed to enhance students learning outside the classroom and also give them practice so that the teacher is sure that they have learned the material. When it comes to homework a lot of times parents interfer and they may even do the assignment for the child, giving them little opportunity to even learn, I see this as a problem. When someone is doing the assignment for you, your not really learning. As a future educator I do plan to give homework but I don't think I will emphasis on its value. The most important work I believe is how the student performs in the class because the teacher actually witnesses the students work and their habbits.
