Teachers Should Expect

As a teacher we should have high expectations for our students,
because we are supposed to make great individuals of them. The
more we expect for them is the higher they would want themselves
to achieve. When we have high expectations for students they work
harder because they want to see our faces light up when we are
happy that they have completed their work. And with us having
a high expectation that means that eventually they will work harder
not only to please us as their educators, but in order to strive for those
good grades to prove that they are capable of understanding.

When I was a student in the second grade I can remember the teacher
not pushing us to do much. And I thought in my mind while I was at
school, does she think we can not do more work then she gives us. My
teacher just gave us easy work and never showed us a challenge, which
made me upset because in order to learn the teacher should have high
expectations for what she/he wants the student to be able to learn. So
eventually I worked harder at my studies and made her give me more
work then what I needed, she then raised her standards for us as
students. She gave us harder work then, because she knew that
she could expect more from us. Teachers need to have high expectations
for their students, because without high expectations a student would
not be able to learn.
