The classroom is a location for learning in many aspects. Whether you are in a college, high school, or middle school classroom there are many things you can learn. You can choose to learn the subject the teacher is teaching, learn the atmosphere of the class, or learn the students. An essay can easily be written using any one of these choices. Today was one of those days when I was not paying attention to the teacher, but I was observing the students in the class. I noticed that each individual student conducted themselves in different manners. I observed the “right-hand” student and the “huh” student. I also noticed the “10:10” student and the “one day” student. You are probably wondering where I got these names from and what it has to do with this paper that will be explained in the paper.
To begin with, we have the “right-hand” student. I know that everyone has encountered this student in the classroom. This is the student that knows the answer to every question, no matter what it is. This type of student is sometimes called a teacher’s pet. The
y never give the other person a chance to give an answer, they always turn in their homework on time, and they do exceptionally well in the class. This is your typical “A-B” student. They are always paying attention to the teacher. I am not saying that this is a pessimistic thing, but give the other students a chance.
Next, you have the “huh” student. This type of student makes up the majority of the class. Have you made a guess yet? This is the student that always says “huh.” They never seem to know the right answer. The teachers always calls on this person when she gets tired of the “right-hand” student answering the questions asked of the class. The teacher will call on this student and the first thing they will say is “huh.” Anything that is asked of this student begins with “huh” and then they try to give an answer or explanation. Sometimes they luck up and give a correct answer, other times it is just “huh.” This is your “B-C” student.
Now you have the “10:10” student. This type of student is found in all college settings and sometimes in high school. N
