He did not give us homework on the first day and have it due the next; instead, he gave us a homework schedule for the term and left it up to us to remember to do it. By doing so, he prepared us for life after high school, where it would be up to us to make our own work schedule.Mr. Sand was a family man. He made use of whatever time we had left in class to show us his latest vacation videos or his childrens sports videos. It was nice to see a man who balanced his family and his career so nicely in a world where a broken home is the average home.Mr. Sand always encouraged us to get out of our little close-minded society of Wethersfield and explore the cultures of the world. He would tell us stories of his travels across Europe and his adventures around the US. Many teachers just forced the idea of college and ignored our need to reach outside of what we know.Many people may not ever have a teacher like Mr. Sand. I feel sorry for them.

He always avoided giving it. B. He punished those failing to finish it. C. He wanted students to be responsible f
