My name is Tim, and I am a senior at The Jacob School. My teachers, Mark and Carrie, have taught me that you don’t have to be famous to be really good at what you do. Mark and Carrie together make a good team and are very good at education. The best part about them is they actually care! Mark is very good at helping his students work through obstacles in their lives, and is probably going down in history for me as my hero for all the help and guidance he has provided to me. Carrie is a very fun teacher; she likes to teach hands-on and tries to avoid bookwork at all costs (except math). She always cares and will always help with any question you might have in school. Although she tries to be our friend, she is very strict on her guidelines for school and will not bend them to save her life. She will work with us though, to help us if we are having a lot of trouble with the assignment (which is what many students like/need).
We do many fun activities; one day for class we did a mock court case. That was fun and I learned from the experience as well, which was a double benefit. We also do a field trip every other Wednesday. Mark and Carrie are not the only ones who help the students work through stuff; the students like to help each other out too. The CHARM system that is on our website is used fully, and although we all slip up occasionally, we hold each other accountable. The learning environment is good too! It is more relaxing and since it is a small school, the students are able to get one on one help.
Mark and Carrie love to bring the talent out of their students. Mark, Carrie and the school have made a huge impact on my life. They have helped me make a complete 180 in my life and their only goal is to see the students succeed. Because of Mark, Carrie and the school, I have been able to achieve my goals and I know if given the chance they can help your student reach theirs as well!
