The beginning of this chapter discussed styles of teaching. The science teacher I'm working with is a "helicopter" teacher. His style is to spoon feed the students. The math teacher I'm working with has a "drill sergeant" style. Both of these style are very different from my style. I believe students should come up with their own ideas, and being a drill sergeant is not in my personality.
One idea I liked in this chapter was the point value for grades. I feel that if a student is trying their hardest they should get a decent grade. I have one student in math who tries hard, but struggles with several concepts. I don't feel it is right to give the student a failing grade, or hold them in for every recess to have them redo assignments. Also, it is important to give students choices when it comes to learning.
