I think the most important role a teacher plays is being a role model for their students. If the teacher shows respect to her students and cares about them, they will respect her. A teacher has the potential to change lives, or make a lasting impact for the opposite. I know in my own life I still have teachers I love and respect. I even invited several of my ELEMENTARY SCHOOL teachers to my wedding! Teachers need to reach out to their students and make each one of them feel important, because they are!

I think the most challenging role that a teacher plays is to teach her class everything they need to know to succeed as well as include all of the students. It's hard especially if you have one child that either needs individual help or is a tad bit difficult and disruptive to the other students. Another challenge I think teachers have is appealing to each student. At least for me when I was young I didn't respect a teacher if I didn't like them. Occasionally (I'm ashamed to admit it) if there was a teacher I really didn't like because they were; mean, cranky, bossy, etc. I would intentionally be difficult. I didn't like teachers that weren't fair, that favored some kids over others, I felt like everyone should be equal. I think that is a challenge for a teacher, to make all of the students feel special, not just the ones that are friendly, or really smart, or socially blossoming, all of the students.
