It is
extraordinarily rare nowadays to meet a teacher that is actually teaching for
the greater good. Most of them are there for the holidays and the pension –
however, they must have wanted to be a teacher once... so what has made them
lose their motivation? School is hard... everyone knows that – but, it isn’t
just hard for students; it is hard for teachers too – they spend all day with
disruptive teenagers, attempting to teach them something that they will
probably forget in about 10 minutes time. Attempting to get them through school
in order to get them decent grades and a reasonable shot at life....
So why
have so many teachers given up?
They have
given up because of the horrific behaviour displayed in schools nowadays - from
11 year olds to 18 year olds – there will always be a few students that ruin it
for everyone. Teachers, they have to sit there every day and attempt not to lose
their cool because of that one insolent student that won’t keep their mouth
shut. They have to suffer through trying to help others get good grades because
of that student.
Despite
this, some teachers – few teachers, still have that motivation and drive to
make the world a better place; to improve the education and lives of the youth
of today... these teachers are the best kind of teachers. They are teachers
that are willing to come into school in the school holidays, weekends and after
school in order to help students with work; they are teachers that plan their
lessons in a way that allows them to cater equally to the needs of every single
student in their class. They are the teachers that don’t continuously lose
their temper with you – they are teachers that can simply look at you and it
will feel like their eyes are burning straight through you because you have
disappointed them.
These teachers
are more than recognisable – they will be the teachers that offer to sit down
with you and help you with your work or even just have a chat with you to make
you feel better ... these teachers are sincerely respected within schools and
it is extremely clear. They are one of a kind – so please; don’t take advantage
of them – because they will be the ones that guide you through school into a
better standard of living.
Just
appreciate your teachers for once and treat them with the respect that they
deserve!
