"Fires in the Bathroom": Chapter 6

1. "Kids know school is important" (page 101). Teachers should "care about our progress" and show their "pride in our good work" (page 108 & 109).

2. I don't like teachers who assume that kids don't want to be there and don't attempt to bring more focus and creativity in. They know it's important to go to school and getting an education, so the teachers job is to make them want to come; getting the students to come to school is the hard part. If a teacher shows pride in and really cares about their students they have more desire  come to school. If the teacher intrigues them enough they will also have more passion to learn in the classroom.
