This week's "Man on the Street" question was: What's your favorite food to eat in and around school? 

 Maxime Damis, 10th Grade

"That Stand; bacon, egg & cheese."

Dario Rainone, 12th Grade

"I usually eat lunch during class otherwise I'd  probably get it across the street."

Ms. Bowers, Librarian 

"TamPoPo; I the tuna bim bim bop."

 Ayanna Robinson, 10th Grade

 "Scoop De Ville, it has the best ice cream ever."

James Seward, 11th Grade

"The school store, I get noodles." 

     My english benchmark is on teachers and how they can improve learning by caring for their students. As a student I have seen teachers that do not value the feelings of their students. As a result of the teachers not caring, the students do not succeed by not putting the students first. All the teachers care about is the end result. Teachers need to really care.  They should not just say that they care, but they must show it through their actions also. This was one of the solutions suggested about how education can be improved by taking time out and have meaningful conversations with other teachers to see where things are going and what changes are being made. 

"And I don't know... but maybe we are really overthinking some of the school reform stuff. Maybe the best thing we can do is make our profession transparent... talk about what works -- and what doesn't. Structure some great, honest conversations and then take the time to ask ourselves -- "Now what?"
