QR Chapter 2

This chapter talks about how students will respect a teacher who talks to them on an equal level. Kids enjoy learning froma teacher that they can like and respect, and that they like and respect a teacher who respects them. One thing that I've always believed and remember believeing as a student is that in order to really reach kids in school you need to treat them as intellectuals. While they might not posses the same amount of knowledge, they are thinkers. I remember when I was in school I just wanted to be respected, by my teachers and my peers. The teachers that i appreciated the most were the ones who talked to me like I actually had something to say. As a teacher I hope that I will be able to reach my students and that as I get older I will continue to believe this way.
