Since teachers are said to be the second parent of the children, they impose one of the
strongest influence in the lives of our pupils. They play an important role in moulding the
kids. A study reveals that so many school children today lack interest in their studies. This is
because most of them are affected by family problem, financial stability, broken homes, etc.
It is in this situation that teachers should take time in listening and communicating with their
pupils.
The time allotted in teaching Values Education must be prioritized so that teachers
will be able to encourage their pupils and teach them the traits that a child must learn. aside
from this, their also need to find time on having a one-on-one communication time with their
pupils so she can help them in whatever situation they are facing. A listening ear is vital when
problems come in the life of her learner. A teacher needs to understand that she’s not only a
plain teacher in the classroom but also a Guidance Counselor to her pupils.
If a teacher truly wants to inspire her learners, she also needs to set quality time with
her pupils. This is one important ways of telling her kids that Love is in the Classroom.
