Good teachers make an impactful difference and are valuable.
They give students purpose, inspiration and desire.
Teachers prepare students for the real world, teach them key values to be functioning members of society and nurture them to excel in life.
Unsung heroes
Teachers work tirelessly. They make lesson plans, follow the curriculum and meet targets.
Some teachers purchase all their teaching materials to ensure students are adequately prepared for assignments and exams.
They even purchase personal items for students to ensure they learn and are equipped for school.
Some teachers make learning easy and fun. Of course, there are some exceptions where teachers put students to sleep, are confusing or teach nothing.
Passion
Some teachers engage with students and act as role models.
Teachers are patient. They are creative and devise ways to keep students focused given their different attention spans.
Teachers guide students so they can find their passion.
They believe in students even when they are reluctant to be in class and feel like school is not for them.
Teachers know the strengths and weaknesses of their students. They encourage students to be the best and see something in them that no one else sees.
Teachers feel it too
Teachers feel unmotivated at times and get stressed out from the pressures placed on them.
They are sometimes not supplied with the materials needed to get the job done and are expected to work miracles.
Teachers deal with unique students with differing private circumstances and different learning abilities, styles and preferences.
They deal with heavy workloads.
Teachers also deal with difficult students and their irate parents who feel entitled and as though they directly pay teachers to do their jobs.
Exceptional
My favorite teacher has been my homeroom teacher from secondary school- Ms. Gervais.
She has a warmth about her. She is very caring and loving and constantly provides words of encouragement. She loves speaking of the goodness of God.
I can still remember when she told my mom she wanted to have a daughter like me when I was leaving form 5. I smiled and felt special.
Appreciated
Thank you, teachers, for a job well done. You know your students even more than their parents.
You have nurtured and molded many of us to be great and reach our highest potential.
We would not have made it this far without you.
Thank you: Ms. Gervais, Ms. Deterville, Ms. Nickson, Mr. Ignace, Mr. Edward, Mr. Smith, Ms. Toussaint, Ms. Antoine and Mr. Sarvay! Your support, guidance, encouragement and teachings helped a lot!
