I would have to say the most important role a teacher can play is being mentor. It's hard to balance the friendship but also the respect the student need to have for their teacher in one. I think the mentor is the one that can complement them the most. The student really needs a mentor. The class I am in the teacher really wants them to succeed and she really tries to show them that. I think it's great!
The hardest part I would say is being a friend. You want your students to know you love them and are their friend but they also need to know they need to respect their teacher. I can see the struggle Mrs. Wilson has. She loves each of her students very much but she also needs and wants their respect. That's hard to really have them understand. You want them to have fun but also learn.
I want to be able to balance everything. I know it's going to be hard and really difficult to balance being a friend and disciplinary figure. Teaching I know is hard. But I am so excited to be a teacher!
