Teacher: The core of the educational system

Karen Keith G. Isip

THERE are people that greatly influence society as a whole. May it be a positive or negative influence, the effect will always be clear that one can be inspired by the action of another person. In this world that we live in, we encounter a lot of people in almost all walks of life. Even if we do not communicate with them, we get to learn something from them. Strangers include giving life impact to fellow strangers.

But if the influencers are the ones whom we mingle with day in and day out, the influence will surely be a great deal in the life of a person. With all the individuals that we encounter every day, I believe that teachers are one of the most influencers in the society. Teachers share their knowledge to students. They also teach students good manners and right conduct. At times, teachers share their life experiences so that students will learn something about different situations and eventually exchange opinions to gather more effective thoughts.

There are members in the society that help make a difference in the life of every citizen. The teachers are one of the main keys in order to achieve a society with citizens who are productive, honest, respectful, and optimistic.

Teachers know how to connect with the students wherever they may come from or whatever attitude they may have because that is what a good teacher should be that is why we can consider that the teacher is the core of the educational system. An individual that have a heart for the young minds in order to encourage them to become good citizens of the country. Being a teacher is not an easy job but when we instill in our hearts that in everything that we do, there will always be good effects for the future, then of our sacrifices have already been rewarded.
