A teacher has the power to influence children in so many ways. A teacher must always be aware of the kind of impact they have on children's lives. After a child has left your classroom they could take what they have learned or what they have experienced and pass it on to others. In the future the students may touch other people's lives from what they go on to do all becasue of a teacher's lasting influcence. It is very important that a teacher is aware of this kind of impact so they never over look a student.
Every student is unique and has their own individual strengths and weaknesses.
The diversity and learning abilities are also going to vary with every student. This is why I say no matter what kind of rock you pick up, you have to give it your best toss. The teacher should establish a kind of learning environment taht is flexible and suitable for a diverse classroom. The studs must recieve equal amound of the teacher's attention and should be allowed the same opportunities as everyone in the class. Once you pick up a rock and decide to to give it your best skip, you have so much control and influence over that rock's future.
