Post #5 Last One!

Why do you think your family/home life plays such a big factor of your success in school? Why do you think the teacher in Freedom Writers sacrificed her marriage and personal life for her class? Would you expect a teacher to make those kind of sacrifices for you? Do you think teachers get paid what their worth? Which teacher/coach has had the biggest impact on your life? In what ways did they impact your life?




Please ask me a question that has been on your mind. It can be about the movie, class, a speech you gave, my background or why I want to be a teacher??? Feel free to ask me any appropriate question on your mind.

Thanks,
Mr. Sand

Topic #4

Would you attend school if you were given the choice not to? What are your reasons for not coming to school? What would you do instead? How would it affect your family life? Social Life (Friends)? If you chose to stay in school, what would be your biggest reasons for coming to school each day?

Question #3

Why do you think the students on Freedom Writers can relate so well to Anne Frank? Anne Frank had to hide from Hitler's Nazi Germany Army, so she did not have to go to a concentration camp. What are some similarites between these students in inner-city Los Angeles and the Jews during Hitler's rein?

Hello Softmores!!! (Yes, I know I spelled Sophomores wrong, I did it on purpose!) PLEASE USE CORRECT SPELLING AND GRAMMAR IN YOUR RESPONSES....DON'T FORGET TO CAPATALIZE I....So many of you are used to texting where you write "i bought u a nu book, c u in da morn" This is not correct and please don't write like this when responding to the daily bog question. Points will be docked for incorrect spelling and grammar.


Now for the question! Have you ever been inspired by a teacher, neighbor, family member, pastor, priest to do something good for the community, school, or neighborhood? What did you do to help? How did it you feel while you were helping out? Did you try and convince others to join or help in the cause?
