Oct 2 What Effects Do Bad Teachers Have On A Child?

Why do schools have bad teachers? Where did they come from and why did the school hire them? Schools that are poorly funded could be one of the top reasons why schools have bad teachers. The school doesn’t have enough money to pay for really good teachers. There may be bad teachers because the one individual did not get the correct training while getting their credentials or they’re just not passionate about their job. I believe that all teachers’ passions should be to work with kids and help them to succeed. If the teacher doesn’t care about how the students do in class, then why should they be a teacher? The main purpose of a teacher is to teach and care for the students.
                A teacher can have different types of influences on a student. The things they do around the students can affect them heavily inside and outside of class. Even the simplest things like when a teacher walks into a classroom that is not ready for class at all. Some students take these behaviors very seriously because they might start thinking about their future and how it is going to end up like the teachers. So what standards should we hold teachers to? All teachers, no matter what age, race, gender, or religion, should be prepared to teach as soon as they walk into classrooms. It should not matter what type of school they are teaching at or how poorly/highly funded the school is. Teachers should be able to adapt to their environment and give the students a great learning experience every day.

                Bad teachers can be just as bad as bad parents depending on the age of the student. If the student is still young in elementary, bad parenting can be worse than bad teachers. Kids look to parents for answers and help when they don’t understand something. Kids seek attention from adults because it is part of a phase that every child goes through. Teachers are supposed to have a motherly/fatherly figure for an elementary student but not actually be a parent to the student. The student needs to learn on their own and learn their lesson. If the situation was with middle school, high school, or college students, then it would be different. Bad teachers are worse than bad parents because the information that the teachers are now teaching is worth so much more to the student’s life. The material they teach can determine their future career and occupation. Teachers need to be just as good as parents or better. They need to be brave, encouraging, caring, and etc. even if they work in one of the lowest funded public schools in America. They are the people that determine the future of America.
