TEACHERS: THE MODERN HEROES

Teachers, as they say, are the modern heroes. They are not just there to teach, but also to inspire students, advise and guide them to the right path. The stereotype that 'teachers are the second parents' is actually an honor for teachers, but also, a pressure and big responsibility behind. We see that teachers are hardworking in both teaching and paperwork. Aside from that, some teachers sacrificed their little wealth just to help students with their finances simply because most of the time they consider students their own children, which gives a general view—about them being a real parent. It's really a big thing that teachers can put in being dedicated to their profession. 

 However, in today's time, teachers are sometimes degraded and neglected. Some students don't appreciate their efforts and just see them as mere facilitators and implementers in the classroom. Some parents are even the teachers' top enemies, for various reasons. The kind of worth and dignity that teachers have are quietly escaping from their place due to changes in society and people's perceptions. Indeed, this problem is quite serious on the part of teachers. So then, the voice for change and the phrase for appreciation among teachers should now be acknowledged.

Those aforementioned are the products or results of the teachers’ efforts in inspiring, helping, and shaping students to become better ones.
