Teachers must be educators. If they cannot educate, they are not adequate enough to be a teacher. Teachers are not only required to teach the content but they are also to teach and educate the students about how to be ready for the life after high school. There is more to being a teacher who teaches their content.
Teachers must be role models. They must show the students and explain to them the different between right and wrong and moral and immoral. The students look up to many teachers as heroes because of how classy, fun, respectable, intelligent, confident, faithful, and truthful the teachers are not only to other teachers and adults but to the students as well.
Teachers must be make shift parents. The students do not see their parents through out the day until 3:00 or 3:30. Even they then time they see their parents between the time the get out of school and when they go to be does not amount to the time spent with their teachers. The teachers are there for the students when they need someone to talk to about anything. The teachers care for their students as if they are one of their own because teachers want students to succeed in high school and life.
