With every method in the world being utilized sometimes the best thing a teacher can offer a student is not curriculum. I believe the basics should be studied, but more needs to be available. I think that the educational system is lacking when we gear our curriculum for a test. The teachers need to be able to explore the subject matter and not be limited. Each classroom of students requires different subject matter, that is why a teacher needs to get to know their students to be able to best feel their needs.
Teaching is a flexible field.
What worked for one situation may not work for the next. Teachers must remember that we are the molders of the children. I believe that if the teacher is comfortable and relaxed, then the students will be also. I, the teacher must guide, protect, and nurture each student.
