I have been extremely lucky and proud to have had Mr. Torres as a teacher for 11th grade Language Arts at norco high school. One of the absolute best teacher's I've ever had. I learned more from his learning interactions than reading the textbook and answering questions from it.

Keep up on your wonderful ways of teaching Mr Torres!

Mr. Torres talks about 2 forms of teach. One of these forms is the traditional and the other is the democratic form. The traditional form consists in that the students receive information in a passive form. The democratic form consists in an interaction between the students and the teacher. I think that the best form is the democratic, because the students and the teacher have more fun, the students have more confidence for ask doubts and, by cause of this, they learn more.

and my mother said:"that there are two types of education, the 'traditional' and the one that explains mr. torres the 'democratic' and thaht the type traditional is good but if all the teachers teaches with the other type this is more comfortable"

I think that the teacher esplica that there are several ways the traditional and the democratic I think that the student has the opportunity to choose the two but our problem is the distraction of technology or other boring Seles makes something interezante

Mr. Torres is teaching at High School and he's trying to explain us about forms of teaching. First "the traditional" form that is passing information, knowledge and put test. Another form is "the democratic" that is give an opportunity to students of participation and get their attention. I think that the correct form of teach is a mix between tha traditional and the democratic form.

Thank you

I think the teacher is good because he has interest about the interaction among students and that they are more interesting in learning but the teachers need excellent ideas of motivation and doing the class more dynamic for that the students want to learn for themselves, because the student of a high school easily have distractions like the cellphone and video games as the teacher says
