SUBJ: CRAPPIEST TEACHER EVER
Professor LaPlante,
If you think your such a great teacher, maybe you should
know that not everyone feels that way like you do.
You pretend like your such a cool guy but then you give
out bad grades like we’re supposed to know everything
that is in your head but its your job to teach us the things
that aren’t good about our writing before you just give out
bad grades like we’re supposed to know.
Your walking on thin ice and you better watch your back.

United States Army
drill sergeant creed:“I am a Drill Sergeant. I will assist each individual in their efforts to become a highly motivated, well disciplined, physically and mentally fit soldier, capable of defeating any enemy on today's modern battlefield. I will instill pride in all I train. Pride in self, in the Army, and in Country. I will insist that each soldier meets and maintains the Army standards of military bearing and courtesy, consistent with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army. I will lead by example, never requiring a soldier to attempt any task I would not do myself. But first, last, and always, I am an American Soldier. Sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.”

Matthew’s teaching creed
“My duty, on behalf of every student I teach, is
to stimulate thought, sharpen skills, nurture
confidence and foster respect for our diverse
world… I strive to accomplish this by providing
my students opportunities to apply knowledge to
practice… In all things, I set high standards in
deference to my belief that we value most that
which we have worked hardest to achieve.”
