Teachers play a big role in school. They lead your class and make sure you learn what you're supposed to and succeed. That's their job. But what makes a teacher great is when they do more than that. They learn the student's personalities and interact with them. They make the class fun. One of those classes that you see on your schedule and you can't wait to get to it, and that's the high point of your day. One of my favorite teacher's was Ms. Bailey. She was very lively and just a fun person in general. She taught us history in an entertaining way, and I feel like that helped me learn. Have a fun time with the students, throw a couple of jokes in or spark up an interesting conversation on world events or a debate or whatever suits your fancy. School shouldn't just be black-and-white learning. I'm not saying just talk and don't learn anything. Still teach, but have fun with it.
Students are the other half of the role in school. They learn the subject and how to do it and how to apply it to the real world. John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars but also the Crash Course videos posted a video to students telling them that the reason they go to school is not just to sit there for 7 hours and learn, but to set them on a path to improve the world. I'm taking an Intro to Engineering class this year so I can become some type of Engineer and contribute back to the world.
It's not just the teachers job in school but also the students to apply what they learn back into the world once they graduate and contribute back to society.
