PASS
Mr. Pickker is the worst teacher ever. He is very strict. I remember this one time since everyone did not finish their homework, he canceled recess and assigned the class more homework to do. Like in the picture above, he has a cane and you better watch out. He always threaten you with that cane. Although he will never hit you because it is against the rule for the state. Also he is very smelly. He smells like the bathroom when you grandmother is done using it. Also, he will not help you with Language Arts and he is the reason why I am behind than my friends. He would assign us to read the Imagineon Book to read stories and after we finished reading the story. The problem is that we would not discuss the book entirely. We had to figure out what the stories were about. This is hard because the stories were very boring and so many words in the text I had to get the dictionary to figure out what the words meant. Most of the class failed the test and he would get very upset and wondering why the class was failing the test. We told him time and time again to at least read the story with us or give a vocabulary definitions of all the new words that we would encounter in the story. He said that that would make us lazy and that the reason why we were failing is because we are slow learners. Many parents would make teacher/parent conferences with him because the parents were getting upset because the language arts grade were not passing. The funny thing is that with the parents, he would act all nice like an angel. He would say the opposite what we are doing in class. He would say that we would read the stories in popcorn style, we discuss all the hard vocabulary test, and that the would give a sample test so the students would know what the test would be on. The parents would believe him and get mad at their child. The reason I know this is because my friends father came to talk about her grade with Mr. Pickkner. This is not a lie. As a class, we tried to tell the principal and other teachers in our grade level, but they did not listen.
I finished with a C in language arts and I am behind in second grade right now. At the beginning of the school year, we had to take a test of all the stories and vocabulary words that we did last year. My friends and I failed that first test because we never understood the stories and know the definitions of the words.I hope you do not get this man; he will put you behind.
