Reward My Teacher
By Samuel Adebara on June 28th, 2021
Teaching is one of the most important professions in the world which implies that teachers are some of the most important people in the world. This importance goes beyond their influence within the classroom to society as a whole since everyone, at some point or the other, has had a teacher.
Every child has a favorite teacher, one whose teaching they understand easily, one whose class is fun, one who looks out for them, one who stands up for them, one who encourages them and reprimands them when need be. These could be different people or just one person depending on the pupil’s outlook.
This week Rasmed Publications launches the “Reward My Teacher” campaign and so we have pulled up a few short quotes from students essays about their favorite teacher to inspire you.
- “When I think of Ms. Kate, what stands out most clearly was her willingness to be unapologetically herself. Ms. Kate put on no airs, showed no pretense, had no need to be “normal.” She, like me, was different and she wore her differences like a name tag that said, “I’m ME! And, you will like me!” What a powerful example she was.”
- “I feel that he is a true teacher because he seems to read faces of his students and the doubts they have in their minds.”
- “Apart from becoming good students he also wants us to become good human beings also.”
- “Ms. Olivia is accessible anytime for clearing doubts and answering questions. She is very innovative and finds out new ways to explain complex issues with fun.”
- “He teaches us to study and share things among our classmates and doesn’t give us loads of homework every day.”
- “My favorite teacher is a well-respected and disciplined man who teaches us in the simplest terms and uses as many relatable examples as possible to communicate the lessons. I have never failed any of his subjects because he is a patient teacher who answers all my questions, even outside classes, so I just have to understand.”
