    This essay discusses five veteran teachers' responses to ten questions. The interviews were conducted by telephone. These interviews concern teachers of three, five, ten, fifteen and twenty years. However, the interview focused on teaching styles, their relationship to real-world situations involving education, and their personal educational philosophies. The ten questions and answers will be discussed and evaluated to understand whether these teachers benefit from educating students as a priority or on the back burner. The first question was about their philosophies or opinions on the education system before actually working in the classroom. Their views also changed when the job of teaching became a reality. Second question: After working in the classroom and gaining some experience, how were they able to begin to integrate their values ​​into the concept of the school environment?

The eighth question is about ways to improve NCLB as it relates to your classroom experience. The ninth question is about tea years... middle of paper ...... behavior. However, fifth- and tenth-grade teachers handled their behavior problems differently than other teachers. The fifth-grade teacher said he set ground rules for behavior from the start of the year. The tenth grade teacher says she empowers the student to take responsibility for how their behavior should be handled. In terms of behavior, I will follow the fifth grade teacher's advice which is to establish ground rules for behavior at the beginning of the year with consequences for non-compliance. However, I disagree with the tenth grade teacher stating that she is giving the student control to be responsible for their own behavior due to the fact that the student's parents cannot -not raising their son or daughter morally, which could lead to the student not following through on their duty.
