caseyhardy Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just out of curiosity: Why do you do that?I mean, in my school at least, when we discuss Maths as an AoK it doesn't involve that much actual math, but more of an analysis of the nature of Maths and things like that. Or is it my teacher who "teaches" it wrong?Me did that? No.... it's not us...he requested the other teacher to come in.. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slatkodobola Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 My teacher is cute and hot..so TOK seems so much more interesting But he is over qualified..he graduated Ib himself! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBlake Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 My ToK teacher happens to also teach the maths. Interesting combination seeing as how ToK supposedly has no right answer whereas there is only so much room for discussion in math (the noob type anyway). This kind of translates to our ToK lessons where I often feel that she takes whatever point someone tries to make and twists it into the "correct" answer. Fortunately there's a load of journals where no one can talk back The times when we do manage to initiate a randomish-sorta-on-the-topicish discussion feel like victories How's your experience with ToK (yes, I insist on the o being lowercase) teachers?same...my TOK teacher (IB year 2) has a degree in math...but he also teaches spanish and english...i switched teachers in IB year 1 and year 2...year 1's teach hated me 'cause i back talked her the subject "is everything in the world biased" yeah she tore me apart...in return...my group trashed TOK during our presentation...

Solarstorm Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Last year we did not have one fixed teacher for Tok.... Different teachers for different fields of ToK.... But the main ToK teacher was my Physics teacher .This year it is messed up... One teacher...Only class debates and no essay writing. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Our TOK teacher is also the art teacher. And the most sarcastic, critical person you'll meet. Not to say that she isn't a good teacher. But we all dread presentations and practice essays because our arguments/structure go down the drain once she gives us feedback. I don't like TOK at all, since I'm not philosophical and don't see any reason to debate why I know what I know. So really, I try but wish I didn't.

beccilini Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Our teacher is known to be "the best and funniest" teacher in the school. Even people from other schools know about him. But frankly I get a bit irritated with him sometimes, I don't know... he is good but the discussions are always quiet lame. But maybe that depends mostly on the class. However, he teaches Latin and Philisoohy so he is quiet suited for teaching ToK. And overall, the ToK lessons are good. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwib Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 my one doesn't make eye contact when he gets angry and it's really annoying Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 My TOK teacher is very polite. He doesn't even get angry when some students ask stupid questions. No-one can beat him in debating, he always has answer for every question we ask. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sraja90 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Mt ToK teacher was my english teacher freshmen year. She was AMAZING!!!! She would discuss not only tok topics, but world issues as well and tie them in to the purpose of the class overall. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 My teacher (it's funny how all the posts start in the same way...almost like a poem) is really....hmm, many adjectives would fit here. Smart, cute, agitated, stressed, fast, intelligent, workaholic, and last but not least in love with everything he teaches. Cause he's also biology and ITGS teacher, but I guess he could teach pretty much anything. I even have a "sample" of him www.toktalk.net He recorded himself talking about tok Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
humingyay Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 My TOK teacher is weird.. lol great description! No but really! He is like a mix of Dr. House, Chuck Norris and Dr. Perry from Scrubs. It's not only me, it's the general description of him!He has this obsessive need to be "cool" all the time and it's annoying. His accent, posture, Harley; it's so butch Yea we love him. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 So can we agree that all the tok teachers are "different"? Maybe it's a requirement when you want to teach tok...they ask for your weirdness level... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachie278 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I hate my TOK teacher. He claims to be an examiner but i dont think he makes any sense and doesnt teach in the right style. But I do find he is helpful with writing essays as he uses the same idea on how to write as I do. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 So can we agree that all the tok teachers are "different"? Maybe it's a requirement when you want to teach tok...they ask for your weirdness level...Probably no more than math teachers are different from each other, or biology teachers, or history teachers. Math teachers just have to be qualified in maths and teaching methods, and TOK teachers in critical thinking and teaching methods. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koreANgel Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 My ToK teacher is also the IB Psychology SL teacher, which is awesome. He's pretty much a stand-up comedian especially because he has a physical handicap (his legs didn't have enough muscles when he was born, so now he has to mosey around with two "crutches" in his hands) and he can always take or give a good joke.

Clla Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 mine is a history teacher but he doesn't teach IB history... so it's kinda weird...but I heard that many ToK teachers are history teachers, so i was surprised to see you guys have many different kinds of teachers teaching different subjects other than history..I think english HL teachers might teach ToK well since we have to think deeply while analysing literature..well, anyway, back to my ToK teacher, he's a good person, but he hasn't teached anything yet.. part of it is that students don't really participate in class, but i think it's also his ability to get students into discussion. i kinda feel that we're learning only obvious ones in classes. i hope it'll get better.

Negin Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Mine used to be a Literature teacher, then became an English teacher (for Grammar and all that) but now she just teaches T.O.K in IB. I love her with all my heart. She's both active and demanding, yet at the same time she makes the classes so entertaining. And she always participates in the debates we have. The best part about it is that, being an old English teacher, she knows how to write essays and all that. And it might be because she studied Literature or something, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Though she always says we can never be 100% sure about anything.

jennyrust Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I used to dislike TOK alot last year because I found it unentertaining but this year I'm actually really enjoying it! I have a new teacher this year and she is really good and she is the Head of TOK at my school so I think that helps as she has a passion for it whereas I think some teachers just have to teach TOK therefore don't really enjoy it!
