As teachers, we have the chance to affect the future by making a difference in the present. It is our responsibility not only to teach the material effectively, creatively, and thoroughly, but also our responsibility to care about the students and what is happening in their lives.We can challenge them to see the world of the past, think about how it influences today, and consider how it will influence the future.”
