The way a student is spoken to and respected affects life at home. School is home away from home. But at times a student feels like it is not worth it to keep on in the circumstances because they feel like they’ve been living up to the standards. And despite the efforts they are underestimated and lost in midst of the herd. There is a need for structure in our schools because it gives the foundation for things one needs to know about. When students are troubled in a subject, it takes the teacher to ask themselves, “What can I do to help and make things understandable?” Teachers aren’t the superior. Teachers are students too. We will be forever students. Teachers are like mechanics, they’re there to apply the parts with the necessary tools and help the car function right. But it is up to the students to keep the engine running for as long as it can go.
