    1. What helps you to learn better?
    If you have a good teacher, whom is enthusiastic, and answers all your questions, you learn better.
    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    A good teacher doesn’t get easily annoyed and frustrated if a pupil doesn’t understand task! Yet if a teacher is constantly making jokes, (that aren’t funny), pupils get slightly annoyed as then we don’t get a completely interesting lesson. And sometimes you even loose interest in the subject.
    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    I wouldn’t so much want to learn about something new, but debate and discuss the things which are now so important in every day life, and decisions people have to make everyday.

    What helps you learn better?
    What helps me learn better is when the teachers explain what I don’t understand and when we act out the work so I can understand how the person or thing was feeling.
    What makes some one a good teacher?
    What makes a good teacher is when the teacher will help me and anyone else who is stuck. What also makes a good teacher is when the teacher will let you ‘act out’ something you cant quite understand e.g. if you are reading a play, in a book to understand how the person felt.
    If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    I would love more drama, less maths, more art, less geography and more i.c.t.

  •   Abigail,UK // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:45 am

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    Not just writing and listening but being able to do things and not have a seating plan.
    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    Letting us learn in a fun way, I find that I remember things if they were taught in a fun way.

  •   Sam,UK // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:45 am

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    To do things in not a boring way and to have a bit of a laugh sometimes. Doing projects like making a leaflet of a data base from of the internet really helps you to learn a lot.
    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    A teacher that is a bit funny and understanding. The teacher will encourage you to learn instead of shouting at you for doing a bad piece of work.
    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    I would like to learn how to make Games or do computer graphics. I would even like to make animations and cartoons.

  •   Kieran (chicken),uk // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:45 am

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    Doing practical stuff instead of writing it down (unless it’s on a
    Computer to practice typing)

    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?

    Somebody that can make jokes and have instead of just doing written work but, however, part of being a good teacher is making there pupils do work to let them learn important things!

    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    I would like my timetable to be like this

    I.T., Tech, Drama, I.T., Tech. because these are the lessons I enjoy most, not just for the reasons of fun but mostly that, but I learn something. (Well obviously )

  •   Alish, UK // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:46 am

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    When you don’t have to just copy things and listen when you get to do things and have a laugh.
    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    When they let you speak and do things but not too much and tell you off when it gets too much. Then you get a good balance. Someone who has control of the class but isn’t really strict and says you can’t talk.
    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    Music but differently not how we do it now, you would be able to just make up anything random you wanted to on the keyboard. Every lesson would be the subjects we have now but you would be able to do things instead of sitting around and copying from a sheet. That way you would learn but have a good time.

  •   Lucy, uk // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:46 am

    What helps me to learn is working with friend and not working in silence ! And working in groups !

  •   Thomas UK // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:46 am

    Experimenting and having fun.

    Someone that is funny and lets us choose what to do sometimes and tells you how to improve not criticize my work.

    I would like to learn how to create computer programs and learn history about my family.

  •   Roisin, UK // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:46 am

    1. To do things in a fun way rather than just copying sheets or answering out of a book. Also to be able to express yourself and ask lots of questions!
    2. Smeone who is nice and makes you laugh, yet strict enough to keep the class under control. Also, someone who actually teaches you something interesting or useful.
    3. I would like to learn more about how we can help to do some charity work for cancer research and other important causes. Also I think students should be allowed to choose what subjects they want to take at a younger age for example, I would like to do drama, English, music, art, Spanish and IT. Seeing as I want to act or write. So if you know you don’t want to carry on with a subject I think you should be allowed to stop it.

  •   Henry Marshall-Dutton // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:47 am

    Some people talking, but not loudly.

    Someone who doesn’t shout so much and is happy.

  •   alice,uk // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:47 am

    Moving around, acting things out or doing things in a group.

    If they are not strict, fun.

    Lots and lots of drama, in tech you should get to do what you want to as long as it’s related to the subject (wood, plastic food).Fun art nothing to do with buildings.

  •   Dan, UK // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:48 am

    What helps you to learn better?

    It helps when I understand and go through things in detail so I know exactly what to do.

    What makes someone a really good teacher?

    A teacher is good because they need to encourage you instead of giving you discouragement if you get a bad mark.

    If you could choose, what would you learn about?

    I would like to do more Food Tech because I cook and you don’t do much in food tech, I would like to learn bigger dishes and actual meals.

  •   danielle,uk // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:48 am

    1. What helps you to learn better? Moving about for example: in history the Tudors were poor I would like to act out what I learn that would help me to learn better.
    2. What makes someone a really good teacher? When a teacher puts fun in the lesson and expresses the work.
    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn? I would choose history, more drama, fun tech.

  •   Gianni,UK // Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:48 am

    The People around me. This allows me to discuss the question if I get puzzled or stuck.

    Someone that can explain something in the way you would understand (I find it easier when they use similes and refer to something that you know.)And that is comical and understands children very much.

    More drama and P.E.(I’d like a more relaxed atmosphere in class and for more freedom of choice. I’d also like lessons to be more aural even though writing is important.)

    Someone who is kind, funny and can take control when needed. Someone who understands every child and who will help them willingly. Someone who explains everything clearly.

    I would like to have lots and lots more Drama and PE not just because they are fun, but because they are the only physical lessons we have. Also I would like to have more mediation lesson as they calming and relaxing. It would be really good if every school could have a swimming pool and the we could have swimming lessons for PE.

  •   Georgia, UK // Jan 25th 2008 at 7:56 am

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    I learn better when I am not in a group and people are not distracting me, because I like to do things on my own and I get it done quicker.
    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    A good teacher is someone who explains something quickly so I don’t get bored, and is there in case I need to ask questions. I don’t like it when a teacher treats you like a five-year-old just because you are the youngest year in the school.

    I would like to learn different sports, like trampolining and tennis, and I would like to have more than one IT lesson a week.

    WHAT HELPS YOU LEARN BETTER?

    Interesting work to do instead of just given a sheet and have to do the questions is not as interesting as it could be. Being funny helps put people in the mood. Being in groups and using different ways of learning and researching e.g computer programs, computer games, television, films, shows etc.

    WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A REALLY GOOD TEACHER?

    Someone who listens well and helps when you need them to. Sometimes says something interesting which is still the same subject but is interesting. Is someone who isn’t to strict but can still make the class work instead of being not strict enough and therefore the class goes out of hand.

    Having fun lessons including group work, revision & hearing things being told to you this helps me learn.

    If they use different methods of teaching not just copying from a book. Using different methods of teaching stops it being boring this makes someone a good teacher.

    I would choose to learn PE all day. I would like to learn Rugby, Football, Basketball, and Running if I could choose what I learned.

    If they make a lesson fun,
    Don’t pick someone when your hand isn’t up to answer a question
    And

    WHAT
    MAKES
    SOMEONE
    A
    REALLY
    GOOD
    TEACHER?

    I really like student / substitute teachers because their always bright and cheery, esp Mr. M (who has left :( ). They should make cheesy jokes and think its funny!

    What

    Me
    To
    Learn
    Better:

    If we could have a print of instructions on our computer screen. If we could stay at our own places when you show us something and just take control of the screen. Open up 1 of the chat boxes so we can discuss stuff. Heehee.

    1. What helps me to learn better is people being quiet and not shouting across to each other when discussing something.

    2. What makes someone a really good teacher is when they explain what the plan is again to other students who dont understand. Also when they have patience for noise levels.

  •   Oliver , U.K. // Jan 25th 2008 at 10:08 am

    What makes a good teacher?

    there are quite a few things that the teacher cuold do to be a good one.
    obviously,the teacher has to know what they are doing.
    some suppy teachers , for example,just give the class a work sheet and sit back for the whole lesson.doing this is pointless and does not teach us in any way.
    the teacher should show some discipline,but should not be so angry over some small things,such as a spelling error.

    what helps you to learn better?

    if the lesson has some activity,such as practical work in scence or some drama in art,it is better as we pay more attention.
    this also lets us have fun when we are learning.

    if you could choose,what would you learn?

    i would like to learn more languages,like japanese.
    i dont mind what lessons we have,just as long as they are fun and interesting.

  •   Georgia, UK // Jan 25th 2008 at 10:12 am

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    When I am alowed to talk to my friends and choose who to be with in groups becaus eif you get put in a group withg someone you dont like to talk to then you will get nothing done.

    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    I think that if a teacher knows what there talking about and knows loads of good facts that are really interesting then children listen to you because they want to know and then they dont talk,

    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    i would like to learn about interesting science not the boring written stuff but when people talk to you about space and stuff. i also like art and tech because there creative i also like drama.

  •   Mimi, USA // Jan 27th 2008 at 9:54 am

  •   Ellie 'xo // Jan 30th 2008 at 9:50 am

  •   Rachelle,UK // Jan 30th 2008 at 9:52 am

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    What helps me learn better is inspiration and support from all the people around me (no pressure). Also the opportunity to be able to express and contribute my own and individual ideas, not copying of what’s written on the board because what you create needs a little touch of yourself and that will make your own creation unique.

    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    When they show absolute support to their students but not favouritism because we all need equal treatment from everyone. Also what every teacher needs to show is FUN!

    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    Definitely music and art because I am a musical person but I don’t want to learn music the way we learn it here, we should just sing and compose musical pieces in with the keyboard. I would like to do art because I am very creative with music and art and I am always inspired by everything I see, hear, touch and feel.

  •   Abbie,UK // Jan 30th 2008 at 9:53 am

    2. What helps you to learn better?
    A calm kind teacher who understands a pupil who doesn’t know what to do and doesn’t get annoyed! A teacher who is interesting and isn’t boring (e.g. coping stuff from books- B.O.R.I.N.G.) ☺ ☻
    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?
    I would love to learn about world cultures and more varieties of languages.

  •   maddy uk // Jan 30th 2008 at 9:54 am

    1. being around my friends and sometimes having things explained to me twice .being able to pick my own groups because if you are put into a group you don’t want to be with you get nothing done!!!
    2. the teacher has to be enthusiastic about what they are teaching and not get angry if the child does not understand the work and if need be talk to them. Not having favourites because that makes the other students feel like they are not good enough
    3. I would like to learn about politics because al of it fascinates me as well as more sports. Also being able to have a choice and having more variety.

    1. What helps you to learn better?
    I believe that if you are calm, comfortable and non-stressful you learn at a very high standard. Also I feel if you are feeling well socially, because I know if you have problems with members of the class/form, it causes you to flow of task also makes you very stressful.

    2. What makes someone a really good teacher?
    I think a definition for a good teacher is; they are a good listener, polite, understanding, make learning fun, efficient, kind and especially important they are capable of working with all different types of children. Good, bad, sensible, silly, gifted and psychologically challenged.

    3. If you could choose, what would you like to learn?

  •   Andrew M.A U.S.A. // Feb 8th 2008 at 2:25 pm

    I would learn better if the school days started later so I could get more sleep. To make up for lost time schools could take some days from some vacations. In doing so people would be in better moods and more willing to take in whatever the subject might be.

    Most good teachers are born that way, its possible fore a bad teacher to improve but some people just can’t teach. I think most of it is personality and the teacher’s social skills. If you don’t like the teacher fore whatever reason you are probably not going to listen even if it’s in a subject you like.

    I don’t think it’s a matter of what any one wants to learn but how to improve the existing classes and the learning environment. For example no one wants to go to a school ware you are told that you are being prepared fore the real world, to be adults and then treated like kindergarteners. If you want people to succeed with the freedoms of the real world then cretin freedoms must be given. More rules equal more rebellion.

  •   austin usa // Feb 8th 2008 at 2:33 pm

    The thing that help me learn is hands on like working on lawn mowers and dirt bikes and quads. I also like to hunt deer and turkey.

Like if at the begining of term, you have a chioce of what you do that term, I think that that way there would be less people messing around because they would have chosen what they would like to learn.
