There are a number of things that catch my eye in Ms. Umbridge's report, things that I do not agree with, and that I find very biased. Firstly, Professor Flitwick. It is generally common knowledge amongst BOTH Wizard and Muggle that Children learn better in happier environments, and when their lessons are more fun. I do not understand how Miss Umbridge can say that there was too much merriment in the lesson. Children learn from their mistakes, so if there are a multitude of mishaps and things going wrong in Professor Flitwicks class, then surely the students learn a lot in his class.

Secondly, Whilst I do not think that Professor Trelawny is the best of the teaching in Hogwarts, She still teaches her class. The students who want to be in that class learn the subject and pay attention. I'm sure Miss Umbridge will have found that it was the students who had realised that they had no interest for the subject that paid no attention, or made the class 'uncontrolled', as the report claims.

I feel that Miss Umbridge was extremely biased with her report on Professor Hagrid, as it is well known that Hagrid is a half-breed, and that Miss Umbridge does not like half-breeds at all. She has clearly exaggurated the words of some certain students and from her experiences during her inspections. However, I also feel that Miss Umbridge just wants to get rid of the teachers that she doesn't like, and those who don't follow her rules, as opposed to the teachers that could actually do the school some good by being let go.

Again, I feel that Miss Umbridge does not like Professor Sprout very much, as it is well known that the old woman loves her subject and taught it with much more knowledge than Miss Umbridge claims. However, I do agree with Miss Umbridge ever so slightly about Professor Sprout's allowance of foul language in the classroom. Yes, I understand why she allows the students to use such language, though I also think that it shouldn't be allowed, as it influences and teaches horrible habits and manners to the children. Surely a teacher as smart as Professor Sprout could have thought of a more imaginative means of letting the children express themselves when they get attacked by Devils Snare?

Lastly, it is VERY clear that Miss Umbridge liked Professor Snapes teaching a lot. She liked how he 'controlled' the class. And how he used fear factors to scare the children into being so terrified that they daren't breathe in his class. Teachers are supposed to be people that students can go to for help if they need it, and I don't think that Professor Snape portrays this image of a teacher - No student would want to go to see him in their free time.

After thinking through this, and summing up what I think of the teachers and the reports, it is very clear that all of the teachers bring both positive and not-so-positive contributions to their teaching. However, they all bring something positive to the school. Ideally, the teacher that I would choose to fire is Miss Umbridge, because she is the only teacher who, in my eyes, brought NOTHING but trouble and misery to the school. She was biased, selfish and considered herself too much like Minister Fudge, who didn't so very much good for the Wizarding World himself. However, seeing as this is not an option, the member of staff I would choose to fire is Professor Snape, and that is because I feel that he terrorises and scares more of his students than the number of students that he sucseeds in teaching.
