The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next level. Today, in my experience as a fellow student I did not see that. Teachers tend to be slacking off, not educating the students as well as they are needed. Instead, students become more involved in teaching themselves. I hear complaints from students saying they feel as if they’re not being educated, they tend to be more confused than understanding to the subject.
In my opinion, teachers don’t try their best in educating, offering credit, or helping when students are in needed. I worry for my fellow class mates future and also mine, we looks up to these people to help us, educate, and how much they reflect our upcoming future. The way I see teachers today, they don’t care much enough for our education as well as we do, or how much we are in need of their help. Teachers are getting paid to educate, but is it well enough? From what I see teachers educate but they don’t care for it some of them don’t even know the subject well enough to teach the students or don’t educate at all! So where does this lead? Not to well enough educated students.
Great story. I had issues with some teachers in highschool when I was growing up. I have had some horrible teachers that I think were only interested in when they were going to get their next coffee break and a paycheck, but I am very greatful to have had the small handful of wonderful teachers that DID push me and keep me interested in school. I still think of those teachers that really seemed to care whenever I achieve a goal in my life (over the last 20 years). I also learned that if you acknowledge the ones that you like they get even greater and will go on to help more kids. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your story!
