Being a teacher is a great way to connect to youth and make a meaningful impact. It is also a difficult and often thankless job that brings with it any unique challenges. "I instituted a Special Blessing Service to honor and bless all of the teachers, administrators, and the staffs of 65 local schools in a special service led by the students of our church's schools," our expert says. They have experienced lockdown, had to break up fights, taught by flashlight, and written lessons and study guides by hand when computer systems have failed.
But it's important for them to make a connection in order to better reach them. Another teacher said that he had to teach without power for three days when the district was in the path of a hurricane. One teacher recalled how he had a student throw up on him during his first year of teaching; from that, he learned to always have a change of clothing on hand. Most agree that encountering situations that were out of the ordinary was, in fact, the ordinary, and standard operating procedure.
The hours are long and the pay is short, but teachers have always been and will remain powerful role models for our children. Many teachers agree that when you get right down to it, teaching isn't so much a job as it is a calling. Most teachers agree that it takes some work for them to be able to relate to their students. Teaching veterans say that they have to figure out what their kids are into in order to make that connection, and that means staying on top of current trends in popular culture.
Teachers also need to be prepared for just about anything. Teaching is an important job that influences the lives of millions of young people every single day.
Dr Arthur Kanev, a retired dentist who makes his home in Florida, is acutely aware of this fact, and fights often to help bring equality to teaching.
