Student Future

An Effective Teacher like a parent realizes that students will not be with them forever and therefore, always work with the goal of seeing them graduate. This viewpoint is future focused and motivates how students are taught, communicated with and developed. 

The student who is falling behind is encouraged and assisted with catching up. The student with a personality and temperament which is not best suited for society and the workforce is coached along so that their future is not challenged by the character flaws which were not confronted in their past. The future focused teacher helps students prepare for expressed goals, whether in college or a career.  They direct learning and training towards that end and keeps the vision of endless possibilities before them. This type of teacher prepares the students for the world, with a healthy dose of reality and a strong desire for achievement and success in their chosen endeavors.

  1. Do you think that high school (and even college) graduation should be emphasized starting in first grade?
