Fantastic post, and rest assured that teachers play a vital part of what MOTIVATES the students into excelling. It’s simple, if the teacher is passionate about what they teach then the student picks up on this enthusiasm. So keep motivating them, teachers play a vital part.

On a more personal note, while I was waiting in the pre-op room I met this man who was awaiting his wife to finish surgery. So we started chatting and turns out he is a high school teacher. Turns out his high school is based in a poverty laden area and the parents of the kids are not around, so they lack a lot of guidance. This man took it upon himself to be the guidance for them, he took it upon himself to go to horrible areas in the city and get the kids off the streets and persuade them to come to school the next day.

Eventually he finally got through to them and those kids became financial advisors, lawyers, etc... years later they returned and found him and wrote a book about him, Turning failure into success.

I have a lot of respect for teachers and I think they play a vital role almost as equal as the parents if done right, in the success of a child.

Keep doing awesome things ❤️
