Teachers truly are a blessing in disguise. It’s disheartening that many people fail to respect their educators and often behave poorly towards them, but that’s a discussion for another time. Today, we come together to celebrate our teachers and professors for all the wonderful things they’ve done for us beyond just imparting academic knowledge.
They are like our parents—no, they are our parents in a different sense. I’ve observed that teachers who treat their students like their own children tend to have the best teaching records. Their students shine brightly because an emotional connection is established. When students feel valued and understood, they enjoy being in your presence, listening to your lessons, and learning from you.
26. Can we make this a standard practice?
