Teachers are very important in today’s society and they do a lot for everyone. Teachers aren’t just there to make lesson plans, grade papers, and write on black-boards.

Teaching is an extremely important profession as we are responsible for training up the future generations of our community, country and in effect, the world. In order to be a successful and effective teacher there are some basic skills and competencies that one must possess. The experiences that students have inside (and outside) our classrooms, schools and various other institutes will shape and mould their approach to our subjects and to life in general. Therefore, it requires a certain level of skill and training to be deemed professionally fit to enter into this career path and even then, continuous

Why is teaching an important profession to me? Life is about something, but what it is about for me it is the passing of knowledge that will make society move forward. Without the teacher, we would be in the dark, because, the light of someone teaching would not be. We would not advance as a society, on Medicare or agricultural advances.

Their families continue to struggle with bills and looking for shelter. They are use to relying on loans and shelters to keep their family from starving and providing them with a temporary home. Parents are too busy worrying about money problems that they don’t realize that it is influencing their youngster in a substandard way. This exposes negativity and sadness to the children. Negativity results to a destructive impact on life. Children often blame their parent’s stress on themselves. Because of this, they hide their wishes and dreams. This prevents them from achieving the marvelous and success they need to thrive in adulthood. Children don’t have as much confidence in themselves as they do when they are positive.

Bullies are another factor that affects a child’s self esteem especially if they are going through poverty. A reporter had mentioned that bullies considered these children as different. They called them dirty and filthy because they came from a poor

I thought in robust family ties and togetherness in each exact and awful instances. My own family’s reputation is an fundamental part of the Vietnamese culture, wherein the popularity of one member of the family is a symbol of the entire own family’s popularity. For that reason, most families in Vietnam are very cautious in their kids upbringing, as they may be judged based totally on the overall performance of their children inside the society.

“To hell with your career, what is your calling?” It was this quote that led me to the classroom just five years ago. I was convinced that teaching was indeed my calling. I was compelled to make a difference in the world, and felt that there was no better way to do it than by educating young children, that in many ways, whether through life experiences or appearance, resembled me. I knew that this was no easy feat. In fact, it’s no secret that teachers do not make significant amounts of money, and the profession of teaching does not always receive the respect and dignity it is due. But it was that day, in the spring of 2009, after hearing Dr. Joseph E Lowery speak these words, I promised myself to never chase a career, but instead, to always

Going into the field experience, I wanted to become a teacher. As the weeks went on, I started questioning if this is what I really wanted to do. Teachers spend hours coming up with lesson plans and going to meetings. They also have to find ways to make lessons fun so the students pay attention. I realized that teachers also have to put up with a lot of students and it is hard for them to not yell and get frustrated. Just observing the teacher and how she handles the class seems really stressful and tiring. Even though teachers go through a lot, there is also a positive side to it.

Teaching is not a career for you to just punch in and punch out. The students become your life

What an interesting concept for a film / documentary. Following the lives of four babies, this documentary eschewed the routine and simply allowed the viewers to follow and observe the babies’ lives without the trappings of script and dialogue. In addition to simply sitting back and enjoying the movie, one could almost imagine themselves as a scientist conducting an observational experiment. The documentary followed the lives of Bayar, Hattie, Ponijao and Mari. They were born in Mongolia, The United States, Namibia and Japan respectively. The film followed the babies from birth through about the one year mark in essentially the same situations. As such, cultural differences were easily compared and contrasted. This review will be focused on addressing the following questions:

Teaching is not just a job that I perform because I expect a reward at the end of each month; it is my passion and I feel extremely satisfied with every successful lesson. I like to help the society, and teaching gives me a great opportunity to do so. I am passionate about educating my students, so I work with them and motivate them to lead them to find inspiration in learning. I use different strategies to engage them and share with them the knowledge.

Teaching is a difficult occupation. Teachers play an important part in training children, teenagers… So, a good teacher must have some special qualities. They are: knowledge, creation, confidence, empathy, sense of humor and passion.

Being a teacher is not an easy task as many people could think. To be a teacher does not only imply to know the subject to be taught, it also includes being willing to constantly improve oneself integrally, as much as updating the resources and materials one uses in teaching. Reflecting and analyzing over and over again the best way to teach to learn and how to make students to extend what has been learned. The many hours spend in the classroom will never be enough to plan lessons, prepare materials, review pupils tasks and exams, as well, all the administrative requirements one has to cover for whatever institution we work. Besides all this a good teacher, a professional one, will have to find the time to keep preparing to improve
