Teachers just open the door and then you go by yourself

A composition written by Sushentsova Marina

Teachers just open the door and you must go yourself.

Chinese proverb

From the first days of their life children start asking questions. I think that if there were a contest of most popular kids` questions, “ WHY” would certainly become a winner. Children ask all sorts of why-questions: “Why is circle not a square? Why is the Earth round? Why does ice-cream melt?”  When children are small, it`s parents` responsibility to answer these questions. But very soon parents are tired of explaining obvious things and it`s really sad as children are at the very beginning of their life and the process of learning. So that`s why teachers are very important. Teachers are always ready to answer children`s questions and they also ask their own questions that can lead to new discoveries. The profession of a teacher is not only noble, but it`s extremely difficult at the same time. And nowadays it`s becoming even more difficult, as it involves not only emotional and intellectual spheres, but a profound work with technologies.

Teaching is a highly social work. School teachers help children to adapt among their peers. They also teach their pupils read, write, count, they foster their knowledge about good and bad. They widen students` outlook, sharing the knowledge from different areas of science. The main task of students here is to absorb this knowledge, adjusting it for themselves. In my opinion there are three types of students. Students of the first type love studying in general and they mainly get excellent marks. Students of the second type are good at the subjects  they like. The third type students are lazybones who don`t understand the values of education. They make teachers suffer in many ways. As school teachers are highly interested in the results of their work, they feel bad about their failures in teaching. But the thing is every person makes his choice by himself and this is also fair in the situation with studying. To learn or not to learn, to do hometask or not to do it is student`s decision. Teachers just open the door and you must go yourself.
