The magic teachers do

EVERY so often, people do not see the effect teachers have on students. But come to think of it, teachers are not just people who teach. They are also people who go outside of their element. They encourage children to go on and keep striving. They exhibit care and concern that values the humanity of every individual person.

We are not alien to the increasing cases of erosion of parental responsibility. Children from dysfunctional homes may experience separation anxiety and depressive symptoms. This can make them susceptible to negative peer influences, including experimentation with risky behavior such as alcohol use. But the support and confidence given by the teachers that make these children feel they are valued as human beings serve as an effective deterrent.

Youth undergoing emotional troubles may be protected by virtue of their intense connection to their teachers making them less likely to be in settings where substance-use initiation is possible. Studies point out that the connections youth have with their teachers may help prevent kids from experimenting with alcohol and drugs at an early age.

Every time teachers show consideration and give attention in learners they are already making a difference in these children’s lives. The way teachers reach out to children and make them realize they could do something with their life; the manner by which their benevolence and trust haunt these kids helping them make it through their challenging teenage years is just magnificent.

It goes without saying that we should not underestimate teachers. They may not all be highly intellectual as you expect but their sharing of themselves with children is something we should cherish them for. Teachers are caring adults who take good care of our youth today. Without them, the world would not be as nice. This is the magic teachers do. By Joyce JackBaon
