A teacher doesn’t take the test. My name is on the classroom door but it is the students who make up the class.
The teacher depends for his/her power on his/her ability to make students powerful.
My comment:
My favorite part of what you wrote is this statement: "A teacher’s job is to awaken the possibilities in others" because too many teachers seem to forget their purpose. In this new era where tests like the FCAT rule, too many focus on the child passing the test and not enough focus on having the child be ready to take on the world and teach someone else. Students today just want to pass with whatever grade is passing instead of desiring to learn as much as possible so they can teach another.
As a teacher, we should want to awaken the love of learning and the drive so that others can want to teach as well.
