I believe that the teacher and the students set the mood for the day on their initial entrance of the day, however, that mood can take a turn, good or bad, during the course of the day. If the teacher is in a good mood, he or she can lift the spirits of those who may not be having such a good day. The same can be said of the students. A teacher can be having a bad morning and one of those sweet little children can give them a hug and bring them around in a matter of seconds. A teacher provides more than an education to a group of students over the span of a student s educational career.
Teachers can influence students through positive actions and attitudes.
When a teacher strives to achieve harmony inside as well as outside the classroom. A teacher or counselor can help a child deal with problems in their life such as divorce, death of a loved one, abuse and even teenage pregnancy. Teachers provide a support system for students that they might not be getting at home. I believe that this is good for the students because there may or may not be someone else in their life to provide that support for them.
