Daily Prompt 30 June Sunday

A great teacher goes above and beyond basic teaching. A teacher needs to have a passion for what they teach and that way you’ll become interested in the subject and want to learn about it and to please them. A teacher needs to keep students updated on things in a timely manner. School districts now use portals to post grades and also post upcoming assignments. This can be a great thing…….. Or not! Unfortunately over the past few years I’ve noticed it sometimes takes teachers weeks to place grades for assignments in the portal so you don’t have an accurate overall grade either. I believe teachers still need to contact parents if a child’s grades are not up to snuff or they are not doing assignments like they used to. Now everything goes in the portal and there’s less teacher/parent involvement. Teachers need to have compassion. Some students are shy and will not ask a teacher for help if they don’t understand an assignment or a subject in general. Teachers can see a pattern in the students work and need to offer help to this student outside of class time, like during an empty class time, before or after school or during a teacher’s lunch time. Teachers have a powerful impact on students and are remembered for years to come for how they acted so good or bad, caring and compassionate or not. Teachers let your voice be heard!
