Conwell PSA Series: Respect Your Teachers

by L. Waites-71, CCB Contributor

You should respect your teachers because they want you to succeed.

Our generation is their future. Teachers aren’t out to get us. They have a career that they do because they enjoy it and they want to help you. Respect your teachers because they are trying to help you and give you the tools you need to succeed in life. That aligns with our school’s mission. You might not realize it, but teachers are the key to getting an education.

“You Should respect your teachers, because they want you to succeed.”

They are preparing you for life. They spend hours preparing lesson plans so that you are able to succeed once you leave the school. They contribute greatly to your future and if you haven’t thought about that, maybe you should. It’s not easy teaching students, especially the ones who tend to act up in class. It’s tough trying to teach and then having to be interrupted every ten minutes because a student is clowning around or being disrespectful.

Think about how the teacher feels. They go through a lot of stress, too, and it makes their job that much harder when a student doesn’t want to listen when the teacher is the one who is trying to help them.

Here are some ways to respect your teachers:

You can kindly greet the teacher. Also, pay attention by listening and following teachers’ instructions. Raise your hand to ask something instead of just shouting out. Have good manners and students show respect to their teachers.
