Teachers are underappreciated.
I've had my complaints about teachers, but I've come to appreciate them a-lot more after one of the teachers I've worked with passed away recently.
Most teachers are some of the most understanding people that some people will meet in their adolecense and early adulthood. The teacher who passed away always listened to me, and spoke to me about situations that were currently effecting me while giving me advice. He made me think about the reasons why I was feeling such ways and made me look at problems in multiple perspectives.
Like our parents, teachers have to be there for us for multiple times in a month or week. They're trying to balance class room work, homework and test grading, administrative meetings, and home life. It can get very stressful. My parents are both teachers and it takes a toll on their mental energy. To make sure your students get the best education they can get with all of that takes dedication and patience.
I feel like many students don't realize how important teachers are in their lives, and how they are capable of changing their lives completely.
Does anyone here have any stories of really great teachers? Also, is anyone here a teacher or have a family member who's a teacher? I'm just interested in reading other's stories and experiences.
