The ultimate goal is to teach children to strive towards intrinsic rewards. All students should study the basic curriculum then teachers should tie in all of the extras. Students need to be taught in kindergarten how to tie their shoes, dress themselves, and how to eat properly. At the other end of the spectrum, high school students need to be taught higher level skills in addition to the basics. Teachers should always try to incorporate everything possible into the curriculum so students can leave school armed with knowledge in virtually every subject area.
Teachers have the responsibility to teach young people how to be productive students and citizens.
Also, it is the teacher's responsibility to make learning an enjoyable event and to teach the students that learning can be fun. However, educators must also teach their students that anything worth having is worth working for. Teachers can say that they accomplished a big goal in their teaching career when he or she succeeds at helping a student enjoy getting an education as well as learning the value of an education. Teachers have the responsibility above all to be prepared with daily lesson plans to effectively teach their students all subjects in the curriculum. If teachers are ill prepared, then he or she can not be effective.
