75. A SONG FOR TEACHERS

83. This is the Vision for your class:

84.  students very proud to be in your class;
students are very happy to be in your
class: they think the other classes are
pitiful compared to yours

85.  students from other classes envy your
class; they’d want to be there

86.  parents are so satisfied and confident
with you because they know their Class
Adviser genuinely cares for their
children: they’re just too eager to help
you and support you

87.  parents’ satisfaction comes specially
from the realization that you are a role
model for their child: virtuous, upright,
moral, high impact teacher

88.  parents and students speak highly of
your professionalism, your punctuality,
your firmness but fairness, your
kindness, your positive attitude: that you
bring out the best in the students

89.  they may have complaints and issues,
but your presence, your attitude, your
support all make the problems look
trivial and insignificant

90.  your students support you through and
through; the last thing they’d ever want
is to upset you, offend you or be in
disfavor with you

91.  they may lose trust in some teachers, in
systems, in curriculum: but your being their
child’s Class Adviser makes up for whatever
shortcomings there are. And they are still
able to say: IT’S STILL WORTHWHILE TO BE
IN THIS SCHOOL!

92.  you are the spirit of the class; the soul
of the Team; the magic behind the great
class that it is

93.  the team spirit is so strong: failure of
one student causes sadness for the
whole class; and success of one student
is great joy for the whole class.

94.  there may be misunderstandings
among the students every now and
then, but they are ready to forgive for
the sake of Class Unity

95. This is the vision. This is what our
classes can become… regardless of
however our class may have been last
year, or in the previous years.

96. If there is anything right now that the
school needs to become a really great
school, it is this: a set of EFFECTIVE
CLASS ADVISERS!

97.  Our role is to produce MEN and WOMEN of
CHARACTER: the Class Advisers are the single,
most important factor for the school’s success
in this task: not the academic subject teacher,
not the Guidance Counselor, not the Principal.

98.  we teach them integrity when we come
to class PUNCTUALLY everyday. 2 minutes
before start of the day, eager and ready.
Not dragging our feet.

99.  they learn integrity in the way
we carry ourselves: they know

100. This is the Vision for your class
