Mr. Stroope: He seems to be a teacher that is too stuck on basic teachings, very linear. He is someone that Gatto or Freire would most likely not be a fan of because he uses the banking method to teach his students and deposits information onto them. He tells a couple of kids to dumb down and conform so that he himself doesn't come off as inferior. Mr. Stroope also seems to be super focused for the wrong reasons. It is like he is there to win awards and be teacher of the year while not worrying about his students being creative and thinking outside of the box.
Mr. Lowrey: Mr. Lowrey definitely comes off as a very green teacher. He seems nervous and gets frustrated easily from the lack of respect from his students. Kind of a mousy guy. Also fits a basic teacher type and doesn't try methods that relate to his students. He ends up loosening up and thinking outside the box to start communicating with his students. Starts to earn respect and showing that he is a teacher that cares about his students.
Coach Webb: She seems to be a little more serious about what she does than what her students think. Her lack of funds and leadership causes her students to not take her serious. Her situation seems similar to Mr. Lowrey's and maybe that's is why she starts showing interest in him.
