What stuck out to me the most in this chapter also made me extremely upset when I read it. There is a part in the chapter that talks about how teachers need to be passionate about being a teacher, and about the subject they are teaching."Some teachers act like they don't want to be there. They don't have any spirit, they just make the class do work. Once in a while students want to laugh and have fun" (Cushman, p 104). The teacher sets the tone of the classroom; if he or she is dedicated to helping students learn then the teacher will create an atmosphere where learning can take place.
I can't believe that there are teachers in this world who go to work everyday and hand out worksheets and readings for their students to do, and then they wonder why students resent coming to their class. For those teachers out there who do supposedly teach in this manner I can't believe they get paid. Usually in a profession when someone isn't doing their job very well they are let go; so how is it that there are teacher's in the classroom that are not passionate about teaching, but yet they still continue to get paid? The more passionate a teacher is about their topic the more the students are going to learn; this is a pretty straight forward understanding.
