TEACHERS

                        The significance of education has never been minimized because education has a crucial impact on the people's lives. Especially, two factors are very important for children's personal development which are their parents and their teachers; therefore, children get their knowledge firstly from their families and than their teachers. Nevertheless, it can be alleged that children spend more time with their teachers than their families. Hence, it is not an undeniable fact that teacher's role is so important in the classroom since the interaction between teacher and student is the primary determination of student success. If classroom activities are taken into consideration, teachers can be divided into two groups which are idealist teachers and inefficient teachers.

                        To start with, everyone meets at least one idealist teacher in their education lives. Idealist teachers devote themselves to education and their students. This is because teachers not only shape their students academic careers but they also affect the life of all their students. Firstly, idealist teachers should develop effective teaching methods so as to enhance the quality of education by keeping track of current developments and considering innovations with respect to their lesson. Secondly, before the class, idealist teachers prepare extra materials, presentations and so on, in order to address the needs and interests of students. In addition to them, idealist teachers undertake voluntary responsibilities during the formal and informal educational processes and activities both at school and in the classroom because they should be active during the their professional lives.

                        Secondly, according to some people, teaching is one of the most suitable jobs to make money by working less because teachers have long summer holidays; moreover, most of the teacher candidates have chosen faculty of education for this reason. Furthermore, graduating from faculty of education is not enough to be efficient teacher since only theoretical knowledge is taught at university. As a consequence, these type of teachers are inefficient to teach during the class yet, unfortunately, there are a lot of inefficient teachers in public schools in Turkey.

                        All in all, teachers were classified into two different groups as idealist teachers and inefficient teacher because teachers have a great influence on students' achievements. Therefore, teachers devote themselves to education and their students' success.
