Teachers are thought to be the spiritual parents of learners. So, a big part of the formation of learners personality is attributed to the teachers they have and how positively or negatively influenced they are by them. If you ask me to associate the job of a teacher with two others, the first one brought to my mind is that of a social worker , a correlation, I hope, acceptable by the majority of the public. The connection between the job of a teacher and that of a social worker seems inevitable and indispensable. The one supplements the other, I could say.
All students comprise a small society with the teacher at the head of it.
The teacher as a scientist offers the students the chance to develop their cognitive ability and gives them cultural and multicultural knowledge as well. Moreover, a teacher tries to cultivate their ethos through advice and personal exemplification about how they should react in every step of theirs, in the classroom or even outside it. If that picture of the teacher as a social worker seems idealistic and unreal, I won t argue with you, since the theory of relativity is the most popular in every issue that concerns our world. However, I believe that those teachers who might manage to play the two roles formerly mentioned, must feel satisfaction for doing so, receive positive acceptance by students and see it reflected on their faces. Not absolutely strange to those readers who ply the job of the teacher, especially if they look deeply into their inner self and think of themselves in the classroom using various strategies to put each message of theirs across to students.
