"BEYOND THE STANDARD OF THE SCHOOL, QUICKLY CHECK OUT FOR THESE FOUR QUALITIES IN THE CLASS TEACHER OF YOUR CHILD!"
Many times as parents, we are so concerned about the standard and services offered by a school...
That we forget something very important that will make or break any child.
Schools do not really teach or educate a child.
A class teacher does.
A good teacher can cover up for a bad school but a good school can never cover up for a bad teacher.
I know that these days, many schools try to limit interactions between parents and teachers.
But as much as you can, you need to get very close to your child's teacher.
And as you do, quickly look out for these four important qualities.
1. PATIENCE LEVEL: Research has shown that less than 3 out of 10 pupils fully understands a topic in the first few moments of its introduction.
You need a class teacher that is patient enough to go back and explain again and again. Teaching won't work without a lot of patience.
2. PASSION LEVEL: I'm really sorry for people that get into the teaching profession for quick cash and instant results.
Excellent results take a lot of time and commitment. If the passion is not there, a teacher will not give your child the extra time and effort.
3. MATHEMATICAL SOUNDNESS: Many teachers struggle with mathematics both in interviews and in class. This is not good. I believe that it is something that can be worked on with a little effort and time.
A class teacher that is good at mathematics greatly improves your child's overall academic performance.
4. SPIRITUAL SOUNDNESS: I am very big on a person's aura. A teacher should show up to work daily happy, not sad or slouching.
A class teacher should be able to self-regulate & SELF-ENCOURAGE as the journey gets tough. These are functions of sound spirituality. People carry atmospheres about.
I would rather have a teacher that prays and is spiritually sound handling my child. What do you think?
