I agree with Rozlyn about something he did wrong which was walking out

Taylor

2024-09-24 15:42:14 UTC

I agree that him walking out and slamming the desk is something he did do wrong.

Right:

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 15:43:06 UTC

He did not give up!

2024-09-24 15:43:21 UTC

I agree with him using the song as a teaching technique.

Wrong

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 15:43:28 UTC

Why should he not have slammed the desk?

2024-09-24 15:43:44 UTC

Rozlyn is making good points on what he did wrong

2024-09-24 15:43:46 UTC

i agree with rozlyn that him slamming the desk was a bit dramatic and over-reactive

2024-09-24 15:43:48 UTC

i agree how he reacted with shamekia he could have been acted better

2024-09-24 15:43:50 UTC

I agree with Rozlyn that walking out and slamming the desk is something that he did wrong.

2024-09-24 15:43:56 UTC

I agree that it was wrong when he got angry and slammed the desk because he scared the students.

Alli

2024-09-24 15:44:04 UTC

I agree with what they said about him Alma oh the desk. He should’ve addressed that problem better, but it also gave him a point to grow from.

Ellie P

2024-09-24 15:44:39 UTC

I agree with Anna when she said Ron Clark was good at keeping the kids engaged. I think the song strategy he used was very good and helped the kids learn. Even at the end of the year they had the president song memorized by heart.

2024-09-24 15:45:24 UTC

I agree with him getting mad and finding ways for them to pay attention

i agree that him keeping them engaged was the write thing to do and also him walking out was wrong.

2024-09-24 15:45:33 UTC

Explain

2024-09-24 15:45:39 UTC

Could you further discuss what this did for his kids? How did it encourage them? Why would it encourage them?

2024-09-24 15:45:45 UTC

i really liked the chocolate milk strategy i think it worked really well and kept them entertained

i think the song strategy worked good because they were singing at the end too.

2024-09-24 15:46:33 UTC

Madison

2024-09-24 15:46:39 UTC

I agree with the chocolate milk strategy, it helped them remember what they were learning because they were entertained.

2024-09-24 15:46:52 UTC

I like what rozlyn said about the songs helping them

Ellie P

2024-09-24 15:46:58 UTC

I agree with Anna and Abby when they were talking about the chocolate milk strategy he used to keep the kids engaged.

I really seemed to help them pay attention more.

2024-09-24 15:47:06 UTC

I think the chocolate milk strategy worked more on them.

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 15:48:22 UTC

55 essential things--what is most essential in Mr. Clark's classroom

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 15:49:29 UTC

Did these rules help? Hurt?

2024-09-24 15:50:58 UTC

Which do you all think was most helpful?

2024-09-24 15:55:32 UTC

Do you think there were any rules that you think were not helpful?

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 15:56:05 UTC

Why do you think the rap song was so successful with this group of kids?

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 15:56:27 UTC

Would this work in any school, any where, any time?

Rozlyn

2024-09-24 15:56:45 UTC

what other strategies are there?

2024-09-24 15:56:48 UTC

i think the rap was super helpful too bc you can also see shameika singing it to herself during the exam

2024-09-24 15:56:50 UTC

What did doing jump rope help acheive in classroom

Madison

2024-09-24 15:57:07 UTC

I agree that playing jump rope with the kids helped him to make a personal connection and bond with them.

rozlyn

2024-09-24 15:57:27 UTC

also what did he use for the kids who didn’t behave as well as others?

ava

2024-09-24 15:57:47 UTC

i agree with taylor about how songs and the chugging milk were helpful for the students to focus better because the milk kept them focused so he could keep chugging the milk and the songs since it could get stuck in their heads and when they memorized it it made them understand the material better

Anna

2024-09-24 15:58:09 UTC

I agree with Taylor that learning songs was helpful because they were able to remember what they learned in class.

rozlyn

2024-09-24 15:58:23 UTC

i agree with taylor she is making really good points about the stuff he did.

2024-09-24 15:58:26 UTC

i agree with the jump rope because he was involving himself in an activity that the kids were having fun with so he could seem more relatable to them

how did building those personal relationships help them in the class?

2024-09-24 15:58:30 UTC

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 15:59:11 UTC

Do you think he was too nice for extreme behavior (i.e., fighting)

2024-09-24 15:59:14 UTC

I agree that what he did with Tayshawn created a much better bond

2024-09-24 16:00:27 UTC

i agree with the jump rope and rap song because he was showing the students that he was not just there to lecture them, but he was there to have fun and be a good adult figure in the kids lives.

I agree with aroura that’s true that it helped them get closer with each other.

2024-09-24 16:01:16 UTC

2024-09-24 16:02:33 UTC

There was a really good point on how building personal relationships between the students could help them.

2024-09-24 16:03:23 UTC

Do you think the rule “we are a family” implies respecting each other?

2024-09-24 16:03:26 UTC

i agree with taylor about how important respect was between the students and mr clark

Rozlyn

2024-09-24 16:03:28 UTC

why do you think it is so important in the classroom?

2024-09-24 16:03:28 UTC

how did the students show respect to eachother?

Good point Taylor! I think he is trying to create an environment of what socially accepted environment looks like.

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 16:03:36 UTC

Anna

2024-09-24 16:03:42 UTC

I also agree that the most important rule was for the students to respect each other because they needed to learn how to be nice to each other.

When did he start to implement these rules?

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-24 16:04:04 UTC

Madison

2024-09-24 16:04:14 UTC

I agree that since they came from a place without respect Mr. Clarks rule about respect made their learning environment better.

ava

2024-09-24 16:04:16 UTC

i agree with aurora that the least important rule was cutting line since the students got used to walking in a straight line and that it’s not much of a real world rule

2024-09-24 16:04:24 UTC

i agree that the respect each other was the most important because a teacher to student relationship can’t exist without respect

2024-09-24 16:04:33 UTC

How do you think “No smacking of lips or rolling of eyes” rule helped the classroom situation?

2024-09-24 16:05:06 UTC

I agree with the respect rule, this helped them in the classroom setting. Do you think this would change them in the future? Would these kids apply it in the “real world”?

2024-09-24 16:05:24 UTC

Estefany what do you think the most important rule was?

2024-09-24 16:06:05 UTC

i agree with taylor abt respect being more important bc if you don’t have respect you can’t have respect for yourself

2024-09-24 16:06:12 UTC

i agree with taylor that the kids needed structure and rules because the class was very unorganized

I think that no cutting in line also means showing respect so it is important

2024-09-24 16:06:15 UTC

2024-09-24 16:06:40 UTC

I agree with Taylor about respect being the most important rule.

2024-09-24 16:07:08 UTC

why do you think he included the no smacking/rolling eyes rule by itself instead of included with the no disrespect rule?

2024-09-24 16:07:24 UTC

i also agree with the cutting in line was the least important because you wouldn’t cut in line in front of someone if you respect them so that rule felt repetitive

2024-09-25 15:40:22 UTC

I agree that Shamika acted out because of her home life

Taylor

Great conversation! I agree these kids are heavily influenced by their parents/home life. They didn't see the point in school.

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-25 15:40:35 UTC

olivia

2024-09-25 15:40:57 UTC

do yall think tayshawn being abused at home was a factor in his fighting at school?

rozlyn

2024-09-25 15:41:03 UTC

they all have really good reasoning on number 5.

2024-09-25 15:41:06 UTC

I agree with Shamika having to take care of her siblings

2024-09-25 15:41:52 UTC

I agree that both Shameika and Tayshawn only acted out at school because they weren’t able to at home.

Anna

2024-09-25 15:41:57 UTC

I agree that both students were acting out because they were not treated very good at home and they did not have a chance to have fun.

rozlyn

2024-09-25 15:42:00 UTC

i agree with them saying about Tayshawn like not having a safe space and so that can be hard

What about the other students? How did they influence each other?

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-25 15:43:14 UTC

Is this relatable? To y'all?

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-25 15:43:47 UTC

Great conversation Unite'!

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-25 15:44:41 UTC

Should teachers be able to come to homes? Why has society turned away from this practice?

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-25 15:46:32 UTC

Anyone have good strategies, comments or questions (show me you are listening)

erin_heinzer1 — 2024-09-25 15:48:07 UTC

Anna

2024-09-25 15:48:15 UTC

I agree that it was acceptable for Mr. Clark to go to the students house so he can see what each student may be going through and so he could build their trust.

I Agree with Mr Clark going to their houses to help them or to see what they are going through

2024-09-25 15:49:26 UTC

2024-09-25 15:49:28 UTC

rozlyn

think it was acceptable for him to go to their home aswell because if he didn’t ever find out what was going on i feel like it would have been a lot harder to understand there situation.

olivia

2024-09-25 15:49:55 UTC

i agree with ava that if the teacher is good then it’s nice if they come to your house, but if they’re not then you wouldn’t necessarily want them there. so it kind of depends

2024-09-25 15:51:34 UTC

i agree that the teachers should learn more about the children that aren't doing good in school because that way they can know why the child is doing bad

2024-09-25 15:52:06 UTC

how did mr. clark show that he cared about his students?

rozlyn

2024-09-25 15:52:07 UTC

good reasoning about how mr. clark can be a safe space for tayshawn

ava

2024-09-25 15:55:43 UTC

why did mr.clark want to help everyone so much? like why did he want to help the class so much and move to help people?

rozlyn

2024-09-25 15:55:57 UTC

why do you think mr. clark was so excepting and wanted to help them so much? like why did he have such a passion to stay with kids who didn’t want anything to do with him in the beginning?

olivia

2024-09-25 15:56:23 UTC

how did mr. clark’s resilience and drive to not give up impact his relationship with the students?

ava

2024-09-25 15:56:47 UTC

how do you think mr. clark felt when he saw tayshawn all hurt laying on the trash bags?

Anna

2024-09-25 15:56:51 UTC

Do you think Mr. Clark had an impact on other teachers and how they taught?

2024-09-25 15:56:54 UTC

what make mr clark want to keep working hard for his students?

abby

2024-09-25 15:56:55 UTC

What were some of the most important things that Mr. Clark did to help the students learn and succeed?

Alli

2024-09-25 15:56:58 UTC

Why do you think the things that Ron Clark did are no longer practiced in todays schools? How would schools change if we did use these skills today?

2024-09-25 15:57:05 UTC

How does the movie portray how Rob Clark is now? How did he turn that experience into what he does now?

bommer1708 — 2024-09-25 15:57:08 UTC

What do you think really motivated mr Clark to teach these students even with their bad track record

Taylor

2024-09-25 15:57:21 UTC

After seeing how much the school in North Carolina cared about him and cherished him, do you think Mr. Clark should have stayed there? If so why? And if not, why?

Ibrahim

2024-09-25 15:57:23 UTC

Why do you think Mr Clark's class were immature and the lowest scoring out of all his classes? (before he came)

2024-09-25 15:57:32 UTC

List some characteristic that helped Mr Clark be such a successful and respected teacher.

2024-09-25 15:57:40 UTC

did mr clark set a role model for teacher and students to do better?

rozlyn

2024-09-25 15:57:43 UTC

hey do you think mr. clark felt the need to help out his students even out of school?

jocelyne

2024-09-25 15:57:51 UTC

Why didn’t Mr. Clark want to give up on the kids?

What do you think other teachers would have done if they saw their student in trash bags in the side of the road

kaylee

What do you think is Mr Clark's best trait and how did he use it to connect to his students so well

2024-09-25 15:58:42 UTC

do you think mr. clark overworked himself while teaching in new york? or is he just an over achievier?

2024-09-25 15:58:42 UTC

How do you think Mr. Clark felt when he saw all the students wanted to give up?

Taylor

2024-09-25 15:58:54 UTC

Do you think Tayshawn is a bad kid?

2024-09-25 15:59:38 UTC

how do you think mr. clark felt when he realized how some of the kids lives really were?

Alli

2024-09-25 15:59:39 UTC

Do you think there was something that happened in Ron Clark’s childhood leading up to him being a teacher and that may have influenced his perspective on these kids? Or that may have influenced the way he would teach his students?

2024-09-25 15:59:58 UTC

ava

2024-10-01 15:26:31 UTC

i agree with leni that one of mr. clark’s main goals was to help the students become better people and to help them grow not just in the classroom.

Anna

2024-10-01 15:26:45 UTC

I agree that Mr. Clark’s main goal was for the students to get good test grades.

2024-10-01 15:26:58 UTC

I agree that every teacher should have that goal

Taylor

Alli

allisonoveracre — 2024-10-01 15:27:02 UTC

I agree with what Leni said, he wanted to improve his kids as person.

2024-10-01 15:27:02 UTC

I agree with Madison he did try to connect with the kids and it should be a goal for all teachers!

I agree that the test scores were Mr.Clarks goal

ellie

2024-10-01 15:27:55 UTC

I agree with Lenny when she was talking about Mr Clark’s goals going beyond the classroom. I think he was not only teaching them subjects but also skills they would take with them for the rest of their lives.

2024-10-01 15:28:12 UTC

There was really good points on how Mr. Clark improved in the classroom and how he helped his students improve.

abby

2024-10-01 15:28:31 UTC

i agree with leni on how his main goal was for the students to learn and grow inside and outside the classroom.

allisonoveracre — 2024-10-01 15:28:36 UTC

Is there an example that you have of a teacher who did or didn’t do these things towards their classroom? What did they do good/ bad?

2024-10-01 15:29:14 UTC

I agree that it should be a goal for every teacher to have

It is frustrating to hear that a teacher wouldn’t work with you after surgery.

2024-10-01 15:31:42 UTC

I agree with Whitley they should show they like the class

2024-10-01 15:32:03 UTC

rozlyn

2024-10-01 15:32:05 UTC

they have really good points and i like how they used real world examples and i agree that the teacher needs to be understanding

ava

2024-10-01 15:32:43 UTC

i like olivia’s example about her surgery and her teacher not being kind to let her redo the test

2024-10-01 15:33:06 UTC

I agree that teachers should make their classrooms a good environment to be in.

abby

2024-10-01 15:33:17 UTC

i agree that the teacher needs to be understanding and cooperative with the student in order to have a good school year.

ellie

2024-10-01 15:33:24 UTC

I agree with Olivia when she said that teachers should be understanding and enthusiastic.

2024-10-01 15:34:51 UTC

I agree that students feel more comfortable when the teacher is more engaged in there class.

I agree that it should be a goal every teacher has.

2024-10-01 15:35:35 UTC

Did Mr. Clark care too much? At what point do teachers need to draw a line? Or should they give 1000% all the time?

2024-10-01 15:37:22 UTC
