of learning having achieved the much he had achieved because he learnt.

He might not have had the opportunity to get good formal education at the beginning of his life but he developed himself when the opportunity came in books.

Today’s parents have a responsibility to ensure their children learn. With the advancement of technology and increased learning, keeping a child in the bunker limits the child and puts him at disadvantage against his peers.

Great parents know like Abraham Lincoln that their wards would have to learn if they must outdo them. You want to see their wards outdo you. Any child that has to do so must have to learn.

Every Parent does same too. You may know quite a lot but that lot is not enough to position your child. Teachers thus come handy as the incubators of knowledge for your wards.

Parents know that if their wards will have to achieve, they would have the help of teachers at their disposal. They know their wards will have to learn and they pass that information to teachers.

Parents may not say a word when they bring their kids to the school but the silent words they are passing across to the teachers are that “this child will have to learn.”

Teachers realize that their major responsibility is to ensure that they achieve the parents’ desire of having their children learn.

Teachers’ responsibility is to ensure whether their students are bright, average, or dull, they teach and impart their lives.

Kids sometimes pose a strong challenge to their parents. They often want to sit at home, but parents stand against this. Child you will have to learn, they often say. Parents thus force their wards out to school against their wish.

The truth teachers must realize is that no child loves the stressful learning and schooling process. They prefer to sit in the house and play games rather than find their way to school. Parents want teachers to know that their wards choice would have being to stay at home and rest but that they have to force them out because they believe the teachers have the capacity to mold them to see the possibilities that education can offer them.

Parents would want to see the teachers attract the students to school by developing the teacher’s poise. They do not want to force the children to school after having to push them out of the home. They want teachers to understand that they must be motivating enough to attract the students and bolster their desire to learn.

Though parents may not have all the capacity to achieve their so desired goals in their wards, they are throwing it at the teacher because they believe the teacher can add his impact and make their wards better persons.

Teachers know no child is too poor for their impact. It is because you are a teacher that is why you have students come around you.

They will have to learn, however bad or good they are. Those kids desire your impact as a teacher and they will always value the much you are doing today many years after.
