FACTS ABOUT TEACHERS YOU DO NOT KNOW.
Some persons think teachers only :
Teach
Grade and
Plan lesson note.
But is way more than that .
Did you know that teachers also act as:
Motivators,
Mediators,
Counselors and safe place?
Teachers give emotional support to students, which is not part of their job description.
Some years ago ,I was employed to handle junior secondary,I noticed this particular girl who was always on her own,her classmates called her " Weirdo".
Her mum said,she had a spiritual problem and told me how she has being praying.
I drew close to her,I didn't force her to share with me what the problem was,but I always dropped positive remarks in her notebook, telling her how amazing her work was, I made her my class perfect,that brought her out of her shells a bit and also brought her closer to me.
Then one day,she told me ,she likes me ,I told her ,I like her too .
I asked if she would like to be my friend she accepted. I made her understand friends share their struggles,their wins with their friends.
That was it.
Boom! She started talking, she was being molested at home and being threatened too.
That made her , withdraw from others.
She was made to believe her mum will die ,if she tells her.
That information she gave me, brought about her freedom, and the pe*****le was arrested.
This is one of the emotional efforts we put it as teachers.
If a teacher has ever supported you emotionally,
tag them here ,send them flowers,they deserve it.
