When young students don't have help from their teachers how does it make them feel?
As we all learn, whether it is in first grade or our senior year of college we encounter situations academic and personal. So what do we do when there is no help for us? I have seen many instances where students have needed help from their professors and teachers but the help was not there.
What are we supposed to do? I understand that all people have their own situations that need attention which can draw it away from other areas. However, do teachers ever think how their actions effect their students?
From my own personal experiences I have found myself to be less passionate about schoolwork or the class where I had to work with a teacher who seemed less than interested. I recall feeling like my work didn't matter. If a young students request for help is not answered by their teacher do they feel like their work in the class doesn't matter? Does the student loose interest in the subject matter? Do they stop caring?
I think so many people often forget that their students really do need them. Not for information and the day to day goings on in the classroom but for things the students don't understand or problems they may be having at home. It is so incredibly important for teachers to be there in all ways for their students because sometimes they really do need us and sometimes they may feel like their teacher is the only person that believes in them.
