Summary
A teacher has a very important role in a child's life. We are there to support them, and guide them into reaching their fullest potential. Every child deserves to have a quality education, and teachers that truly care about them. School aged children spend the majority of their day at school. This is a very crucial time where they are able to learn a lot from the people around them. Therefore, school should always be a place where they feel safe to learn and be themselves.
