Credo
Robert Frost once said, “I am not a teacher, but an awakener” (“Goodreads”). Good teachers are very hard to come by. Just because you know how to teach, certainly does not mean that you should teach. In order to be a successful teacher, your heart and soul needs to be in your job 100% percent and no less than that. I believe that education should not only be what is mandated to be taught. Rather what your students have interest in and what is going on in the world at the time.
Throughout the years, education has made many turns. At one point in time it was only important for kids to know hands on information; as in what they will be doing with their lives in the future. Men would go to “trade school” for jobs that were more hands on, …show more content…
Every kid in a classroom will take something differently away from a unit, or a lecture. Schools hold their students up to the highest standards imaginable.

Nevertheless, everybody deserves the right to learn the information that they want and go on with the field they please. All kids should also start school at the same time so no child has more of an “advantage” over another one, and they are all able to grow with one another. Taking tests is not the most important part of school, the most important is that you take away things you will be able to use in your future. Teaching should not be black and white, it’s more of a grey color. There is no right way to construct your classroom, or the way you teach in it. To be a teacher means you wear many different hats, but you can fit in all of
