About the Author

Hi, my name is Rachel Morgan, I am 24 years and from Chesapeake, Virginia. I have no idea what year I am and I'm fairly confident that I have been in school forever. The one thing that I do know is that I am going to be an English teacher and one day hope to teach on the college level, preferably in the field of linguistics. I love English! I love reading and I love writing; that is unless it is something for school of coarse then I completely loose interest for some reason. However, the thing I love the most is language and I hope to one day understand it entirely, how it works and how we use it.

Philosophy of Education

As for my philosophy on education, I believe that there is one simple trick to being a great teacher and that is to care. I have seen so many teachers who simply look at teaching as a job--a paycheck and not an obligation to the students. I believe that when someone signs on to become a teacher they take an oath, they dedicate their heart and sole to their students. In my opinion there is no way to inspire or mentor students if their educator do not define themselves as teacher and as people based on the success of their students. I believe that it is every teachers responsibility to get the parents involved and work as a team to motivate and encourage. I also believe that if any student is ever alienated by a teacher for any reason than that teacher has failed them.
