Teachers could be heroes?

Question

Please explain with details I’m trying to understand in which way teachers can be a heroes.

Answer 1

when they take the hands of someone who's not so clever and appreciate the progress they make even if slow...

When they take into account tne human side of each student, and can read it in ur face if u'r not the "usual u"and cheer u up...

When they make u love a course u never thought u'd be good at..or like

when they help u find ur strengths and put u on the right track of success....

Answer 2

Heoes, as defined by the Mirriam Webster Dictionary is:
1 a : a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability b : an illustrious warrior c : a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities d : one that shows great courage
2 a : the principal male character in a literary or dramatic work b : the central figure in an event, period, or movement
3 plural usually heros : SUBMARINE 2
4 : an object of extreme admiration and devotion : IDOL

Now, for teachers being heroes. Think about your teacher. Obviously (a) does not apply--he or she's probably not in any Greek legends and (b) he or she is probably not a warrior. However, in (c) could your teacher perhaps be someone to look up to? Someone who could be admired for their achievements? Teaching is definitely a noble career--it is the career of trying to help children learn and to succeed in their future. The last part, (d) may or may not apply, depending on whether you think a teacher is courageous or not. Part 2 and 3 would not apply, but part 4 could also apply here as teachers can be someone that others look up to.

Answer 3

I recieved a "chain email" joke once and the whole thing was great, but I'm going to copy and post some of the things that I think make teachers heroes. But I also want to say that teachers are sometimes a child's only consistent adult role model. We are also the only ones teaching the child right from wrong and socially acceptable and moral behaviors. We spend more hours out of the day with other people's children....than those parents spend with their own children. Children learn much more from their teachers than curriculum....there is a hidden curriculum that children pick up. This hidden curriculum can include morals and values.....and now for the quote:

What do you make?
The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued: "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"

He reminded the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers: "Those who can do. Those who can't teach."

To corroborate, he said to another guest: "You're a teacher, Susan," he said. "Be honest. What do you make?"

Susan, who had a reputation of honesty and frankness, replied, "You want to know what I make?"

"I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional Medal of Honor and an A- feel like a slap in the face if the student did not do his or her very best."

"I can make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence."

"I can make parents tremble in fear when I call home."

"You want to know what I make?"

"I make kids wonder."

"I make them question."

"I make them criticize."

"I make them apologize and mean it."

"I make them write."

"I make them read, read, read."

"I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, and definitely beautiful over and over and over again, until they will never misspell either one of those words again."

"I make them show all their work in math and hide it all on their final drafts in English."

"I elevate them to experience music and art and the joy in performance, so their lives are rich, full of kindness and culture, and they take pride in themselves and their accomplishments."

"I make them understand that if you have the brains, then follow your
heart... and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you pay them
no attention."

"You want to know what I make?"

"I make a difference."

"What about you?"

Answer 4

They can't. That is a myth perpetuated by teachers, themselves, to ensure continued increases in their already-inflated salaries & benefits. None of my heroes are teachers, though one (John Taylor Gatto) used to be a teacher. I can't even say I had any that I really thought were that bright. I was a GT brat, so we got the pick-of-the-litter, but they were still mostly dullards.
