3 Things Teachers Do Right!
3 Things Teachers Do Right!
I recently wrote an article about 3 things that teachers do wrong, and while it was a challenge I was given, it absolutely pained me to write that article and the accompanying articles about parents and students. I am not by nature a negative person. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I 9A0-066 always try to find the positive in a negative situation–not the other way around. Since submitting those articles, I have felt awful! So today, I am looking at what these same groups do RIGHT!
3 Things Teachers Do Right:
1. They are the best role models you will find for all of the qualities you want in your child.
Are all teachers perfect? Certainly not! But I know of no business, industry, or factory with a 100% success or satisfaction rate or a 0% defect rate. And businesses choose their own raw materials and reject anything that doesn’t “measure up.” Over the years I have heard the statement “Why can’t schools be run like business?” far too many times. But my first response is always “Can I pick my own raw materials?”
Regardless of the “quality of our raw materials,” teachers work very hard to both create a successful “product” and to be as perfect a role model as is humanly possible for your child to follow.
2. Teachers work unbelievably hard to make every child successful.
Teachers get lower pay than many of our parents would ever accept, teachers work with students many parents would fear, and teachers work countless extra hours and continually take classes; all while hearing and reading news stories about how terrible, uncaring, and money-grubbing they are. So why do it? Because they genuinely care about your child and want to help him/her to become a success in life.
Teaching is not about money, it is not about vacations, it is not about tenure or merit pay. It is about kids and success. If you have never felt it, you will never understand it
3. Teachers do 9A0-064 an amazing job of:
(a) giving your child the self-confidence and understanding to know he/she can learn,
(b) using the best of educational practices to create successful learners, and
(c) caring enough about your child to follow his progress, to encourage when necessary, tutor when needed, and provide the guidance necessary to keep your child in school and working toward a positive goal.
No teacher ever wants to see a student give up and quit school. We know how costly that decision will be both for the student and for society.
