Hi. My name is Landon. I am an engineer and much to the chagrin of the stereotype, I like to write. I was raised in Richmond, Virginia, but more in the suburbs in Glen Allen. I was home-schooled after 6th grade because I was stubborn and my family told me that I was too much of a "social butterfly" to be able to handle being alone in home-schooling. I tell you this as an explanation offering to ease your mind of trying to comprehend a "social" engineer, which is an oxymoron in general. People generally prefer knowing that I was home-schooled early so they can understand me as being the strange home schooled guy. I focused primarily on English and Philosophy during my formative years and reserved algebra and the sciences for college. Upon entering I began exploring engineering and found that I really only like it in as much as I can apply it to help people. But I also enjoy being the engineer who likes to write. Likes to think about the big picture, and likes people.
So with that taken care of, I have an assignment. This is to address the prompt, "Create an analogy for the 'Ideal student - teacher' relationship."
I'd say the ideal Teacher is one who knows everything and is willing to hear the most reduntant question or help the most utilitarian need.
The Ideal Student is one who carries no pride in her/him self and is disciplined and obedient.
The ideal student - teacher relationship is like a brother or a sister.
- Back to the fishtank,
Landon
