Subjects need to be related to life so students will know how to use these skills. Too many times students just remember something long enough for taking a test, and then the information is forgotten. An effective teacher will apply the information to life situations so that the students are prepared to use the information when they get out into the world. Students need to graduate from school feeling prepared and feeling that they have learned both academic and survival skills. The roles and responsibilities of teachers are too great to express on paper.
Teachers face a great responsibility in the education of students.
Teachers goals are to instill knowledge and facilitate learning in students. They strive to create a desire for students to learn. But teachers responsibilities are much more than just teaching academics. Teachers are often counselors and mediators, and must always strive to be good time managers. Teachers are not only responsible for doing their job, but their primary purpose is being responsible for preparing the lives of all students for their future, which includes instilling both academic and social skills for survival.
