Teacher's Responsibility

da-ye kang

There are many teachers in the world even though I want to be a teacher who teaches children because I want help children to grow into great human beings. Many things are needed to became a great human being. A sense of morality is one of them. Also, sociality and a good personality are needed. But the most important thing is loving others. I think a person who loves others and helps others is the greatest type of human being.

Nowadays, most children are only children. So they don't have brothers and sisters, which means they don't have object of love. They still have parents but unfortunately parents are busy making money. When they come home from school, they just play computer game or watch TV alone. They can't get an opportunity to learn how to love others. May they could be a person who has a cold heart in the future. I want to help them feel the happiness which comes from loving and helping others. This is a big reason why am I want to be a teacher. Besides, this is a huge teacher's responsibility.

Of course I should remember a teacher's basic responsibilities as well. Teacher's basic responsibility is to transmit knowledge to children with effective methods. I must keep reminding myself of that and not be lazy about that. Some teachers say just "reading a book" or "memorize what I wrote" in their class. Teacher do that nevertheless, that was an old Korean style method. I can tell that's very lazy and that does not work, especially for children. If I want to have an impact when teaching I have to attract children's attention. Children's ability to concentrate is short, not long like an adult's. I can find what interests children. It can be sing, draw or play games. I will choose a suitable instrument which I mention upper line (sing, draw or play games) for get children's eyes. That's might aid children to memorize what I tried to teach them. As most know singing  songs, drawing and preparing games are not easy. Before going in to the classroom I have to practice a lot. It takes time but nothing can be done well without effort. I am ready to do anything in order for children to study with joy in my class.

I can tell, teacher's responsibilities is very important. Teacher should help children be a person who has a warm heart and teacher should give good quality of knowledge to children. Those are teacher's responsibilities which I remember forever.

I am on my way to being a teacher. It looks like a thorny path. But I exert every effort to perform these teacher's responsibilities which will guide me to be a great teacher.
