  1. The qualities of a good teacher are being supportive of other students, try to answer all questions students may have (except “what is the answer?”), and helping students understand more about an assignment. (Also no homework).
    The qualities of a good student are not interrupting the teacher when he/she is talking or giving instructions, always follow the directions before working, and work when the time is given to you.
    The qualities that a good class should have are listen and follow instructions no messing around, and everyone should be quiet when the teacher is giving instructions.
    I have never really been a good writer and I don't really like it. So I try even harder to get an A in L.A.. So I am just going to try the hardest I can.
    My expectations for Mrs. Smith are the same as the qualities for being a good teacher. So That is all I can expect. (But no homework would be great).
    My expectations for this class is that I hope it will be fun and that I will do my best on all the assignments.

  2. When I think of qualities that good teachers embody I think of a teacher that is very outgoing and wants to get a chance to know each student well. Another quality that I think good teachers embody is a sense of humor because everybody likes a teacher who is funny. But they also have to be disciplined and know when is time to joke and when its time to work.

    In my opinion a good student embodies qualities that let them understand what the teacher expects them to get done while being able to know when its time to work and when it is time to play in the classroom. Overall the most important qualities that embody a good class is the student’s relationship with the teacher and with other students in the class. If the students don't like the teacher then they won't care as much or at all about the things the teacher has to say, and if they don't like other students in the class than they might fight. If students get along with the teacher and the other students around them than there shouldn't be too many problems.

    This year in English class I expect to excel in writing essays, I expect Mrs.Smith to give me good grades, and I expect the class to have fun in English class.

  11. Good teachers listen to their students, don't give too much homework, and let students work in groups. Good teachers arent too strict and let the students have a lot of freedom. A good class is one that is quiet when necessary and can work well together. The class should always respect the teacher. A good student does homework well and studies for tests. He/She does the best they can do and pays attention in class so that they can get good grades. I expect myself to get an A in this class and not to skip homework assingnments. I also expect to study forall tests and quizzes. English isnt my favorite subject but I will try all I can to get a good grade. I want this class to work together, and respect every person. If the class as a whole can do these things then we will all get better grades for it. I expect every teacher to be understanding and do the best they can to help the students along. If every teacher was like this then this entire school could be better as a whole.

  15. Good teachers are patient, helpful, always ready to teach, kind, but sometimes strict and they explain the material we are learning clearly.
    I expect Smith to be a good teacher.
    Good students pay attention, turn in assignments, ask questions when they need help, and get involved.
    I expect myself to be a good student.
    Good classes respect each other, work together, and help out one another.

  16. I think a quality a good teacher embodies is if they are willing to work with the students, when they are having trouble with their assignments/school work. A quality that makes a student good is when they are prepared and ready for whatever it is that they need to get done for that class. A good class is straightforward in what you need to know, and do.
    My expectation from myself is to be prepared and get a good grade in Mrs. Smith’s class, and for Mrs. Smith not to expect more than I am capable of doing throughout the year.

  17. I expect a good teacher to make sure all students understand what they are being taught, and to be patient when a student is genuinely confused. I expect myself, as a student, to stay hardworking and try my best no matter what, to participate in discussion and work during class, and to be attentive to what the teacher is trying to say. I expect my class to collaborate with everyone, exclude no one, and be excepting when a student needs help.

  18. I think that a good teacher should make the class comfortable for the students. The teacher can do this by being lenient but still being to keep the class under control. The teacher should also be able to make the class fun to learn. The teacher should do some interactive activities, and not just lecture every day. I expect the class to be a comfortable environment for all students. The students should be allowed to move around the classroom when needed, but not excessively. The main quality that I think the students, class, and teacher should have, is being comfortable the the class. Also, I think students should be able to always get help when needed, and students should never feel left out.

  20. Ag good teacher would listen to what every student has to say, answer any questions we have, make sure the lesson is understood, and of course, teach what the students need to know. A good student does his/her work, listens to the teacher, asks questions, thinks critically and creatively, and respects the class as a whole. A good class works together, respects one another, debates the answer but doesn't argue and works hard together.
    I expect myself to do better than I traditionally have done in LA. I expect Smith to be a good teacher who embodies the above statements. I expect the class to follow the qualities and expectations set by ourselves.

  22. To me a teacher should be a person who is always there to encourage us to do our very best and is always willing to help us and teach us more. A teacher should also be patient and kind, always willing to give a student a second chance. I think a student should always be as kind and respectful to their teachers 24/7! A student should always try to do their part of their job as a body of a class by willing to listen and cooperate with the teachers while they are trying to teach them important things. They are also respectful to their fellow classmates by encouraging the, to do better.

  24. Good teachers, students, and classes all have different traits to make them run smoothly. A good teacher needs to have several traits in order to have a successful year such as they need to listen to the needs of their students, they need to be capable of providing help and they need to move at a pace good for their students. Some traits a student needs to have is they need to be a good all around listener, have a good work ethic such as study skills, doing homework etc, and lastly they need to be good at note taking. Finally good classes embody hard work, set goals, and good cooperation.

  25. Teacher:
    Good Teachers help all their students no matter what their grade in the class is be it an A+ or an F the teacher should always help that student. Good teachers also put up their agendas a day before so their students can prepare for what's in store for the that day.
    Class:
    A good class embodies high levels of understanding within each other and high standards of workmanship in that class between the students and the teachers.
    Student:
    A good student embodies good grades, success in their classes, always turning homework in on time, not being tardy, etc...

    My expectations are that this will be a fun but challenging class. And I think Ms. Smith has the ability to achieve this. I think the class as a whole will succeed with the help of the others and the support of the others on assignments and so on. My expectations for this class are to do well and try my hardest. I will achieve this goal by always doing my homework and turning it in on time but mostly not being tardy.

  28. Teacher: Good teachers have qualities of making sure everybody understands the information and helps you when you need help. A good teacher doesn’t hold the part of the class that understands the information back but give the confused students an opportunity to go one on one with them to make sure they are not falling behind.
    Students: Good students have the qualities of knowing when a good time to talk and fool around with you is and when its class time. A good student will do the best to help you when you are not understanding the information the teacher is giving. Not only in class but outside of school as well. For example, a good student will make sure he is paying attention in class so then if another classmate is confused about the homework you can tell him.
    Classes: Good classes have the quality of not wasting your time. Good classes will give you information that is going to be very useful when needed in life. Good classes will have a purpose to them and not just some class that takes up precious time that you could be using learning something you will need later on in life.
    Expectations for myself: My expectations for me is to be very organized this school year. Also, to keep up with all my school work and to use all my time as wisely as I can. My expectations is to try my hardest and to have no missing homework over the school year.
    Smith: My expectations for Smith is to be available when I am in need of help. Also, my expectations of Smith is to be patient with me if I am not understanding something very quickly and to help me learn and understand the information to the best of my abilities.
    And the class: My expectations for the class is to have a fun class where we learn and laugh alot.
