If I was to rate my education on a scale on one being the lowest and ten being the highest, I would have to say that it is between an eight and a nine. There are many reasons for this score that I have bestowed upon my education. One of them can perhaps be the teaching that I have received from my teachers. Throughout my elementary, junior high, and high school career, I have had astounding teachers that have taught me well. They are the main reason that I have increased my knowledge in a variety of subjects and became a smarter more educated person. However, there was this one teacher that was an outlier when it came to being the “good” teacher. I would rather not want to get into the atrocious characteristics of this extremely incoherent educator, but I will just say that she can simply be described with a word that starts with a b. Anyways, as I progressed through my educational career; I wanted to learn and challenge myself by taking classes such as honors and AP. When you take a course of this level, the teachers are different. They treat the students differently because they expect more out of them and they also expect the students to attain a certain level of maturity.
If I were to put teachers, student, and parent in order to display the importance of each of these people in a person’s education, it would go as student, teacher, and lastly parent. Student would be first because they are the creators and leaders of their education. It is up to them how “smart” they want to be. During the first couple of weeks of school, if a student decides to do minimal work assigned, then it is not the teacher’s fault for the students inadequate study skills. The student just dug his or her own grade into the dumps by themselves. If a student wants to be successful, and does the work that is required by the educator, then they should have a pretty nice educational experience. I chose teacher as second because they are not accountable for those students that just don’t do anything, but they are still accountable for most of the students that are in school to learn. When teachers are involved and interact with their students, they build a relationship with them, and students get comfortable enough to ask questions and develop concepts. Teachers are the heart and soul of our student’s education because whatever they input into the minds of our children should stay there. Those teachers that are too stern and act like a “god” in a classroom are losers. They make the student feel dumb if he or she asks a simple question, or even worse, they don’t even allow you to raise your hand. That is plain idiotic. But the teachers are a big influence on children’s lives, and they are extremely important to our education. Parents are last simply because there is only so much that a parent can do to push or motivate their child to study and work harder in school. Sometimes there are situations in math where a teacher tells you to do something a certain way. If you ask your parent, and they only know a different way, they will just confuse you. Coming back to the point of there is only so much a parent can do, parents will love their children no matter what; and if a parent hasn’t pushed their child for academic success since preschool, then it is not likely that a parent will disown you forever if you were to bring home a bad grade. A parent will be mad for a little bit, but then they will get over it and just say, “Do better next time.”
