Dear Students,
I'm a teacher. My job is to guide you and give you the knowledge you will need to make good and informed decisions for your future. This will teach you to be successful... Not for me, or your parents, or anyone else but for you. My job is not to lower my standards so you can meet watered down expectations and feel a false sense of success... This is not success. Life does not work that way, and I'm a teacher. My job is to prepare you for life. Meet me halfway and you will learn. I cannot work harder for YOUR future than you. Your boss won't do it, so why should I? If I did I wouldn't be teaching you anything of value. And because I AM a teacher, I'll make this promise to you: I will work as hard as I can to guide you. I will push myself to the brink of exhaustion to make it fun and interesting... But please meet me halfway. And as teachers we won't (and can't) follow you around for the rest of your lives. You need to take the responsibility for your own life, actions, and the consequences for these actions. But once your teacher, I will forever be your teacher, and will always, ALWAYS, be there if the need be. Because I am a teacher, and I love what I do!
Love,
Your Teacher
