I Want Students

I belong to the classification of people known as students. I am a student and not only am I a student, but as well as a student athlete.
Back in first period I heard one of my teachers complaining about what she expects from her students. As I listened to the roles in which she expects students to serve, I then begin to want to be a teacher also with excellent students as she described. Why do I want students?
I would like to be right at all times and no one can tell me different because it is my classroom. Therefore I want students that will have to listen to my shabby, murky, what I called informative teaching skills and they cant tell me otherwise.
I want students who will be studious and on their best behavior when entering my class. I want students who comes to my class promptly, prepared with their materials and eager to learn.
I want students who has taken care of all their personal necessities in between their five minutes of distributing into their next class and not wait until they have made an entrance into mines to ask to leave out. If so the case may be serious, then students may walk out to handle their situation, but do be in recognition that there may be a written document waiting upon them when they arrive back.
I want students who do what I tell them to do, how I tell them to do it, when it was told to be done. This goes for following directions, when obeying rules, classroom procedures, and how work should be done in my class. There is no time for creativity so they should do it my way or no way at all, Students suggestions shouldn't matter. After all it is my class.
I want students who completes all my work no matter how much is given. Also they should understand that I love to grade papers so they must be willing to complete my work even if given on weekends. They should exclude all of their weekend activities they have had planned in order to get my assignments done.
I want students who keeps up with my pace level of teaching even if I am increasing the rigor of teaching.
I want students who do not bother to ask me questions if they do not know the answer. They should ask their neighbor because I am to worn out from teaching. If their neighbor doesn't know the answer, well that's to bad;They should know the answer anyways.
I want students to be quiet when I am talking. That includes sneezing, coughing and balling up paper.It's a matter of respect and they should respect my speaking by paying attention with no disturbances.
I want students who puts my class first and totally neglect all of their other seven classes.
I want students who may bring me gifts and sat apples on my desk to show their appreciation for my outstanding teaching skills.
And when the day must arrive to say our goodbyes at the end of the school year. I shall surprise my wonderful students by teaching them all over again next year.


When saying this, teachers make it hard for students now a days. I do understand that they are increasing the rigor so that we may have better scores in the ACT and SAT and pass many of the given tests, but somethings may be over the top. Teachers must understand that students do have lives out side of school therefore assigning unnecessary work on weekends is totally not cool. So ease up teachers.

  1. LOL you made a good similarity to I Want a Wife and what Brady expected her wife to do . I agree with you though because alot of teahers act like that to increase the chances of students passing The ACT and SAT,but don't realize how stressful they're making things for us.

  3. This also gets to me because i feel that most techers feel this way. They assign work like they are our only class and then they dont even take it in consideration that some student have other things to try and get through. They were students once upon a time how would they feel if they were in our shoes.
