Who am I as a teacher?

For me Teacher is like a gardener, the student is the seed or the flowers. The classroom serves as the greenhouse creating a warm, safe environment for growth. The parents are the soil, serving as a strong nutrient base for the seed. The water and sunshine provide live and maintaining it, this is the knowledge. When the water is not plentiful, the seed will suffer. It shines knowledge to ensure growth. The teacher should be patient with the seedlings, because no matter how much water or how much sunshine they receive, they are all individuals, and, as a result, they will all grow at their own rate, in their own way, during their own time; no two are the same.

We need to treat each of them differently for that reason I use differents tools to each students, in some cases I have to use a spade or rake. Those are the different learning strategies for the different learning styles.

The fence Make the environment be more comfortable, compatible, secure, and appropriate for the seedlings to flourish.

Each time the students enter the garden, is my responsibility as a teacher give the students interesting activities take into account the needs that their have, the learning styles which will enable the students to grow strong and tall into their natural splendor.

I don’t blame the plant when it’s not performing well; I check the growing conditions. Is the soil the plant is growing in suitable or does it need amending? Does the plant need more water; does the plant need less water? Does the plant need more sunshine; does the plant need less sunshine.
