The teachers role is to set a good example and teach the students morals and values that are important to today s society. Also, the teacher should mediate between the adult world and the world of a child because children have a hard time comprehending the adult world. The teacher along with the parents and the community should have an active role in the child s leaning. Teachers need support from the community and parents need support from the teacher and teachers need support from the parents. This is a continuous circle that needs to keep going in order for the cycle to continue and be effective.
Students are like a sponge ready to soak up water.
The sponge has to be put in the water in order for it to soak it up. Students are the same way. They must be exposed to learning and be taught with the enthusiasm that makes them want to learn more and more. If this is achieved students are like a sponge and they want to soak up more and more knowledge until they are full and have to be squeezed out and the cycle is started over again. Students need to know that people care about them and care what happens to them.
