Fires in the Bathroom Chapter 1&2 Quick Response
Chapter 1-
I was surprised by the section in Chapter 1 about teachers getting to know students. Especially the suggestion of “teacher tours”. These are trips that teachers take with students to show them around their neighborhood and expose them to their reality.
This jumped out at me because having come from a very small community, there was never an issue with the teacher getting to know the student because the teacher had known the student since they were born in most cases. This reminds me that not all schools are like the one that I attended and that as a future educator I may have to deal with the issue of not personally knowing my students before they even come into the classroom.
Chapter 2-
Chapter discussed student-teacher relations. For the most part students feel that the teacher should be more worried about the kids liking them then if they like the kids.
This gives me a lot to think about because I am the type of person that wants everybody to be happy and I prefer that people like me so I tend to be friendly to everybody. I know that eventually I will have to get over the fact that some students may not like me even if I treat them with respect, have a sense of humor and make myself available to them for support and help.

Content is good. You understand what to put in each paragraph and did it well. This should be two separate postings, one for each chapter. Check out the directions (including the link) on this page: http://umfresources.wikispaces.com/EDU221FiresBlogs
3/5 on chapter 1 (directions and mechanics are the points lost). Typos: this is not a complete sentence "Especially the suggestion of “teacher tours”." In the sentence that starts with "These are the trips that teachers take . . . " it's unclear who "them" and "their" refer to -- when are you talking about the teachers and when are you talking about the students. I can figure it out but not because of the sentence structure. In "the teacher had known the student since they were born" you're talking about a teacher and a student (both singular) but then you say "they" which is plural. But check the sentence structure again on this one because the way it's worded now "them" is referring to the subject of the sentence which would be the teacher and I don't think that's what you mean to say.
3/5 on chapter 2 (mechanics and directions). There are 2 problems with this sentence: "For the most part students feel that the teacher should be more worried about the kids liking them then if they like the kids." One is that you should use "than" when you are making a comparison not "then". The other is that it sounds like you're saying the opposite of what the book says. Which do the students think is more important--for the teachers to like the kids or for the kids to like the teachers?
