EDUCATION & CAREERS CONTINUED
going to have to work with people. Whether they are
your boss or just clients giving you business that you
need to succeed someday, someone will need to interact with you. Teachers provide students with an
amazing opportunity to learn about the different people in society. Whether they are friendly, cranky, mean,
too nice, pushy, demanding, a push over, silly, or just
plain boring, all these types of people exist in society.
School give kids the opportunity to learn from these
relationships. Some teachers and students just plain
do not get along. This is great. Use this time to learn
how to make these arduous relationships work. A student needs to learn what it will take to please the type
of person that for whatever reasons “hates” him/her. A
word to parents: do not rob your child from the chance
to learn from this experience. Have your kid(s) get in
there, face their fears, and make that situation work.
When that student becomes an adult and is faced with
the same type of person whether it be looking for a
promotion or closing a huge business deal, they will
think back to their work with “Mrs. White” or Mr. Henderson” and use those lessons to their advantage.
Teachers allow us to learn that no one is perfect and
people come in all different shapes and size. There is
no way that one is going to get through life without
coming across a mean, bitter, angry, out to get you
type of person that has to be dealt with so why shelter your kids from that in school. Life is not easy and
school therefore shouldn’t be a walk in the park either.
