Dear Mr. Salsich,
The most useful part of English class, more than the in-depth study of literature or exposure to some of the world's best writers, is the life lessons you teach us. Perhaps you don't even notice you're doing it, but when we walk through the door to your classroom each day, we get so much more than a study of English. The little things you do, like serving crackers and giving us breaks and listening to every opinion we have, teach us dignity and respect for the world in a way that no other teacher shows us. You teach us not only to read and write like no other, but to forgive ourselves when we make mistakes, learn from those around us, and grow as individuals while still maintaining an appreciation for formality. Your wisdom shows us how to write the best essay a 14 year old can, and also how to live with happiness and dignity. One thing I would change about English class is the discussion length. I agree with Zach and think that a lot of times we do not have enough time for a discussion, and are often cut off by a time limit.
Gratefully,
Anna
Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:
Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)
Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.
