Sweeping my mind - philosophy - Part 5 %

What is the Relationship between the Educator and Student?

• Role of Educator
The role of the teacher is to facilitate discovery and self-actualization and the role of the student is to do what’s natural. Teachers should not impose anything on children.

• Role of Student
To understand life and education by ourselves, and that is both the beginning and the end of education. A self-realization and awareaness of oneself.

I think and feel that the role of the educator is to accomplish one’s duty by setting a good example in caring out their duties and responsibilities well. When the educator shows the warmth and compassion towards the youth I think it is an automatic pull gravity towards them. I think it is also important to give time for each youth, though it is not an easy task. It involves a great pain, because it shows the youth how much the educator loves the youth. To be a mentor to every student, the educator must project positivity, exhibit flexibility and confidence, set high expectations for one, and demonstrate fairness and consistency. In doing so, students can see appropriate adult behaviors and emulate them as they mature.
