Society expects a lot from teachers. Not only, are we expected to teach the three R’s-reading, writing and arithmetic, but now we are also expected to teach character. When did it become our job to teach so many kids to be respectful of one another, to be kind, to be compassionate, to be tolerant of differences etc.? For some time now, we’ve been hearing people say that it takes an entire village to raise a child. Will we be hearing people say that it takes an entire school to educate a character? What happened to the rest of the village?

The rest of the village, unfortunately, is caught up and concerned about their own lives. Fortunately we are still around to show light to kids!
As well, students spend most of their day with their teachers. We are the biggest influence, outside of the same-sex parent, that students have on their lives.
wow.
Tracy,
Teachers have quite a responsibility-that’s for sure.
