The Significant Influence of Excellent Educators: How These Unheralded Champions Can Transform Your Existence
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the influence of teachers often goes unnoticed. Yet, they play a pivotal role in shaping the minds of the future, spending approximately 1,260 hours a year with their students.
For Sarah Rubinstein, a student, one such teacher left a lasting impression. Mr. Dickey, a seventh grade Science teacher, was not just a mentor but also a source of emotional support during a difficult time. His passion for science and knack for fostering connections made him more than just a teacher; he inspired a love for the subject and provided the support needed to navigate through tough times.
The COVID-19 pandemic was a cultural reset for teachers, causing feelings of isolation and alienation. Remote schooling, in particular, was a particularly lonely time for many educators. However, those who were goodhearted and understanding during this challenging period made a fundamental difference for their students.
Keira Dillon, a fifth grade teacher, is one such individual. She credits her father, a former teacher, and her old music teacher as her greatest influences. Her passion for teaching and musicals sparked an appreciation of musical theater in her students, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Teachers like Mr. Behar, a high-energy teacher at Booker T. Washington Middle School, prioritise helping students with their presenting skills and fostering an environment full of love and learning. His tough-love and humorous teaching approach has made him a beloved figure among his students.
Amelia Khemani '26, a high school student, recalls her eighth grade Social Studies teacher as having a significant impact on her love for history. For many students, teachers are a fundamental source of inspiration, yet they remain severely underappreciated in society.
High school students often feel disdain towards school, but passionate teachers like these can change that perspective. Passion is a key element of good teaching, as it creates a memorable and lasting impact on students.
As we navigate through these challenging times, let us remember to appreciate the teachers who have made a difference in our lives. Their influence extends beyond what they taught, as Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
