High school students work hard in and out of school to maintain grades and keep up with their extracurricular, but sometimes we forget that our teachers and school administrators just as hard to keep the school up and running.
Teachers work around the clock making lesson plans, assignments, assessments, and projects. Some teachers also offer extra help during break or after school. High schoolers worry about their five classes, but teachers also have classes with around 30 students in each.
Both teachers and the school administration wake up early every day without complaint to open the school, get ready for the day, and come home late after most students have left. Teachers work out of school too, answering emails from students, posting assignments and grading tests. The school administration answers emails from parents, file the necessary paperwork, and keep parents updated through calls or mail sent home.
Fountain Valley High School’s staff works hard to keep the school running. Despite their hard work, some students still treat them rudely with disrespect.
Students blatantly ignore their teachers, go on their phones, or insult them. Students aren’t able to see that teachers are trying to help them and instead some hate on their teacher for doing their job. Each teacher uses different methods to teach just because the way they teach is different, it doesn’t mean that that teacher is a bad teacher.
Teachers play an important role in the lives of students. They shape the lives of students by educating us not only about the assigned subject, but also life lessons and morals. Teachers were once students too and they’ve been in our shoes before. They help students discover who they are and what they want to be in the future.
