Just because your voice is loud

Post Reply New Topic

There are people that think that having a loud voice automatically makes you a great teacher. I find that to be untrue in many cases. My siblings and I have had plenty teachers who could yell loud, but they were horrible teachers. They were horrible because they couldn't manage their classes, couldn't explain material well, ignored individualized education plans, and/or played favorites. Some are very judgmental of students and were heavily critical of them explicitly or implicitly.

I know a girl who loves to rub it in that she has a teacher's voice because her mom is a teacher. I don't think it makes her any better than anyone else. This girl isn't teacher material for some of the reasons listed above. I'm not teacher material myself because large groups of kids are too much for me. I'm perfectly fine with that as I know there is a career path out there somewhere for me.

What do you all think?

I hate loud teachers ! I have one this year, and I don't know how I'm going to survive. Part of the reason why I don't like loud teachers is because I have noise sensitivity. Why do teachers have to be loud in the first place?

I think Elaine may actually be a good teacher for that reason. Kids don't need to be afraid to go to school.

Elaine if you get this later, do know that teacher's kids are like preacher's kids....often no more suited to those professions than the man on the moon. I wouldn't give that teacher's kid any further thought.

StampySquiddy, you deserve a better teacher than that. I'm sorry to hear you're having to put up with that.

I'm sensitive to noise too. I had a couple teachers that had loud voices, but they had great personalities and were fabulous teachers. Most loud teachers are irritating.

I can't stand preachers' and teachers kids. They are some of the most arrogant and snobby people on earth.

Thank you for understanding. This teacher screamed at me last year because I didn't know what her classroom number was .

StampySquiddyFan, I'm sorry you got such a horrible teacher.

Wow, you all are really sympathetic! Thank you! ^^^^

Hopefully I have some better teachers for my other classes.

☺ hoping your other teachers are better.

Thanks ^^^^

StampySquiddyFan, you seem like a really cool person.

I hate the ones with a monotonous drawl, it's almost like hypnosis, putting you to sleep.

Chichikov, I find those kind of teachers boring too. I like teachers that are animated when they speak.

StampySquiddy is a likeable and charming person. Aspies have a future spokesperson in her.

In my opinion, the best teachers are the ones that can talk completely calmly and quietly and still command the respect of the class. And when they do get loud, it's for very good reason.

Thank you both so much! ladyelaine, you seem like a really awesome person as well. You ask good questions and have interesting topics, which is always a good thing in my eyes. HistoryGal, you seem to have been through a lot from NT's, but you are a great listener and all-around compassionate person. I like how you used your least favorite term (Aspies). I hope to talk to you both more! You are really cool people .
