My point of view

My point of view

I believe that teachers need to have more ambition when they teach.  One of the reasons I think this is because it would create a better education system.  When a teacher has more ambition to teach they will do their best to help the student learn.  In return, the student will retain more information rather than learning from a teacher who has a lack of ambition.  Students who retain more information would then get better grades and have a better chance at life.

Another reason I believe teachers should have more ambition is because it would show that they care for the student.  If the teacher can express that they care for the student and want to maintain a relationship with them to a certain extent, it would benefit both the student and teacher.  It would benefit the teacher because they could get to know more about the student, what kind of struggles they face and understand that they may need a little extra push to do better in school.  Also, the student could realize that the teacher does care and does want to teach them therefor it might encourage them to do better.  For the student, knowing that someone cares for them and does want to help them is a big deal, especially considering some kids do not receive supportive and caring parents in their own home.  

Lastly, a teacher who has more ambition to teach would most likely make class a little more interesting.  If they did fun activities that relates to the lesson it would help the student learn and maybe interest the student more.  There are plenty of kids who simply skip school because it’s quite boring and they see no real importance in being there. But maybe if the teacher could make class a little more exciting, the students will want to go to class and will want to learn.  We as students do not want to go to class where we simply sit and read from a book or from a packet.  Just like Jeff Bliss complained of doing this, it doesn’t make a student excited to learn, in fact it may even discourage them because they are basically teaching themselves.  This isn’t how teaching should be and this is done by teachers with a lack of ambition to teach.  I believe that if there were more ambition in teaching, it would improve the education system dramatically.
