3481. How Big Is Your Patience as a Teacher?


Why did you become a teacher? There may be several reasons. What is clear is that being a teacher is great. And being a teacher is kind of a service vocation. 

The teacher has his schedule, of course, but in some way he’s open to serve people at any time, or nearly that. He has to be open to solve a student’s problem or trouble when addressed along a school hall, or before a class he can be addressed by a popping up student with an impending urgent question, which has to be answered according to that student’s hurry and haste. 

Who has not been addressed by a bit of a tiresome student before a class? I do not mean tiresome because any student deserves our respect and attention. 

Or otherwise some parent may require your presence about another student’s impending problem on the phone or even present at school. 

Being a teacher is a service vocation. But remember that you, teacher, have to dedicate your time also to your family, and you have your private life, as a matter of fact. 

Last but not least: We teachers are kind of obliged to set an example. Or in other terms: We teachers have to educate and form many depending people: students, families, other newer or younger teachers, admins at school, the cooks and maintenance staff… 

All of us or nearly so may have the experience that our teachers were set upon a stage of public influence: we ought to expect a rather upright, honorable and honest example from teachers – well, from any person at school I’d say. Have a nice day. / Photo from: Beyond Teaching
