Question

Why do we need good teachers in our society?

Answer 1

I switched careers to start teaching after 17 yrs in corporate america. ..for several reasons , the main one was my children needed me due to they are still young and I am now divorced.  Another reason was I wanted to help the less fortunate children because they don't always get the support at home. The schools where I have chosen to teach are over 60% poverty and on free lunch.  The kids are living with unbelievable situations at home. They are project kids , etc.  Most of their daddies are in jail.  It's sad. I end up being both counselor and teacher in my classroom. With my background I could easily go to the more ritzy school districts, however I know these kids need somebody like me.

Answer 2

There are many reasons we need good teachers, some of the best reasons you'll never know until 20 years after you had that good teacher.  Best teacher I ever had came to my grandma's funeral.

Poor teachers, teach poorly and do poor things in the classrooms.  I had teachers in my high school telling students that the school sucked, and that the students were all winers, and that they hated their job and their school.  That didn't make me want to learn anything.

We need good teachers so students will want to learn, and get a good education.  So children can learn to read and write.  So they can grow up and get good jobs.

Without good education in our society, there will be no good jobs for us, or for our children.  Ignorance and lack of education can breed poverty and crime.  And other bad things like hatred or so I've heard.

Teachers are also people who share their wisdom and knowledge with others, not just people at the front of a classroom.

But I would say that the most important reason for good teachers is for our future survival.  No matter how much education and technology we have in this world, we are only one generation away from the stone-age.

Answer 3

To teach the children how to read and write.  To help the children grow into respectful adults and to give them the tools in which they can live in this world.

Answer 4

We need good teachers in our society because knowledge is something that is valuable and important. A teacher's job is to give that to us students and to prepare us for what the future holds for us. Without good teachers, students, which are the future, would not be as efficient. If that occurs, our society would not continue to imrove, but instead head for the worst.

Answer 5

to prompt children to become full people. the good teacher is not someone who opens a window to the world but someone who unlocks the door.
