Introductory Post

My name is Erika Johnson and I am a freshman at Fairmont State University. I am studying Secondary Education with a focus in Language and Literature, as well as Oral Communications and hope to teach High School English, Drama, Journalism, and Speech after I graduate. I believe that teaching should be about encouraging students and preparing them for their future. Not forcing them to take classes they don't want to take. Students should be allowed to take classes that are mentally stimulating and pertain to their interests. Teachers should not feed answers to students, but instead engage and encourage students to find them for themselves.
