Ali Dawood grade: 11A Autobiographical Narrative ?Final Submission-
-----------------------------
The Chemistry Clash of Ali Dawood
During my rather long and tedious childhood, in which I had to go and get laughed at due to my poor -at best- academic performance, I was always fascinated by teachers, they seem as if they knew everything, seriously for a first grader they surely did! Especially the science teacher Nasser Al-Baba, I would go and attend his class from the window overseeing the hallway.
We -talking as a first grader- had different break times than higher grades as they will try their best to displace their anger on lower grade students, after they have been slapped a couple of times by the math teacher or at home by their parents?
Thus for safety reasons ?I guess- when we have a break they have a period, and vice versa. I would go and have a peek at what the older grades take for science, they were taking a chemistry class with Mr. Nasser, they had a lab that day, I saw an assortment of weird looking flasks, jars, and shiny stuff?
Mr. Nasser took a piece of silvery looking ribbon, and a hot blue Butane flame? he took the slivery piece and slowly lowered it to the flame? when ?Ding?ding?ding?ding?ding!!!? the bell rang with a strong sharp ringing

moving on, I had a target, I want to be as smart as Mr. Nasser? no, no wait I wanted to be smarter! So I worked hard and studied well, I read every single scientific encyclopedia on the shelfs of the school library, and with our old telephone line I could access the internet and get all the info I needed to know in Wikipedia, what I wanted from info was in my hands, my parents noticed the rather exponential rise in my grades so they supported me and started to buy me more books, mainly scientific encyclopedias, regular encyclopedias, simplified science books and math

    In the article, “A New Deal for Teachers,“ by Mathew Miller, he argues that low income families with students from fourth grade through eighth grade show significantly lower tests scores compared to students from high income areas. This problem Miller addresses, is that there are not enough good teachers in poor cities, and not enough teachers willing to continue their jobs as teachers. Another argument Miller indicates is that having a good quality teacher makes a huge difference in the child’s education and overall development. Miller says that teachers, who do not care about their students and their performance, result in students doing poorly in class academics. One way to resolve these problems is to raise the wages for the teachers, but base salary upon performance and educational background.…

    Having gone to two different high schools I got to experience, firsthand, just how different two schools in the same county can be. Marvin ridge and Weddington High School are completely different in their appearance, their students and their academics. Marvin was the first high school that I attended. Its nickname was " Marvin Rich". The Ridge had a certain feeling to it when you stepped foot in its doors, almost as if the air was filled with exhaust from pricey cars and cologne from name brand stores.…

Someone who sucked his teeth or rolled his eyes each time a teacher put up a homework assignment on the board. Someone who walked in late to class, bobbing his head, singing or rapping the lyrics to a song with headphones in his ear. Someone who would continuously make fun of other students and need constant redirection every 5 minutes. I have.…

    As we’ve studied the different types of educational philosophies in class, I’ve been able to see which category my beliefs fall into and where that puts me in the teaching world. Throughout my educational career, my family and teachers have shaped my philosophy into a combination of both romanticism and progressivism. As a teacher I want to be able to help a student strive for self-fulfillment while focusing on individual student’s learning processes. Based on my ideals, I want for my classroom to be a place where my students can go to learn in a way that suits their personality, and in a non-pressured environment.
