As people have begun to regard high school education as a crucial part of individual career life, the core capabilities and role of high school teachers should rise to a hot topic. Contrary to those who contend that either finding out and solving students’ problems or boosting the self-study ability of students is the most essential skill for high school teachers; I am pro the opinion that the most important aspect of a high school teacher is to be able to help students plan their future.

To begin with, high school students are in desperate need for guidance regarding their future career development, and teachers would be the closest competent candidates to offer advice as they know the student on a daily basis. When I was in high school, for example, a great portion of my classmates were aiming only to reach minimum requirements for graduation and to get an offer from a middle-ranged college in the U.S. as most of my cohort including myself were profoundly addicted to computer games at the time. Owing to our immature thoughts, we had no idea in terms of preference of future career or choice of universities. What made matters worse is that our teachers provided us with virtually zero instruction concerning our college application materials such as a solid plan of study or personal statement since they simply knew nothing about it thus lacking intention to help us. Consequently, these misfortunes surely could have been avoided if we had teachers who were capable of offering lucid instructions and plans for their students' career.

Granted, we could not neglect the demand of being able to find students who need assistances the most and help them. However, high school students, in contrast to elementary or middle-school students, are much more independent, and independent enough to request for teachers’ help voluntarily while they encounter adversities. In addition, it will be counterproductive for students if teachers are always the ones asking students’ detailed things and just as treating students like babies. Therefore, such ability would be considered to be not quite imperative.

Similarly, some people might think teaching students how to self-study outside the classroom is the most important capability because learning should be a life-long pursuit which is not limited in the school. Family education also plays an essential role on students’ behavioral model, regardless of how teachers endeavor to guide correct direction. Take my friend Tom for instance, his parents never asked him about where he went after school even if he came back late, where he was always playing online games in the cyber café after school. In this case, teachers’ advises would have no effect as a result of the deficiency of a family’s ability for fundamental discipline.

In summary, with the aforementioned reasons above, I would regard that a high school teacher's capacity of offering students with constructive plans regarding their career life is the most important characteristic.


Nowadays, parents put an increasing attention onchildren's education, and thus could not ignore therole teacher has played in the process of high school education. parents could not help askingwhat is the most important role for a high school teacher. Opinions vary: some would think theability to help students plan for the future matters, while others would consider how to learnoutside the classroom. In my opinion, the ability to find those who need help and help them isthe most important.

Admittedly, some people would think teaching students how to learn outside the classroomis the most important. The time a high school teacher could accomplish a students iscountable, three years at most; so if the teacher could teach students the way to self-study, they might effectively learn new things even if the teacher is not stay by their sides. However, on balance, to teacher students the way to study by themselves would be difficult for somestudents. These students could hardly finish the homework assigned in class, so letting them toself study more be too overwhelmed. For most of the students to benefit from their teacher, the most important quality would be the ability to find out those who are in need.

Helping students solve their problems could improve their interests in studying. In otherwords, the confidence gained from solving problems would keep students learning new things. For example, Jason used to be suffering from calculus homework where he could not figureout how to apply the theorem to the real question. His teacher, Mr. Smith, noticed his poorperformance in homework and asked him to leave for an extra hour to coach him. He wouldreview the class notes for him and emphasize the part that Jason could not understand. Moreover, in order to strengthen the impression of these puzzling ones, Mr. Smith wouldgive him many exercises to be familiar with the theorem. As a result, after half a month'scoaching, Jason could make every question in his homework correct, and this makes him feelconfident that he could overcome other problems as long as he keeps focusing on learning.

How about making students plan for the future? The problem with this is that the ability toplan for students's future could not guarantee them into a good university. Needless to say, colleges and universities usually have their own academic requirements for applicants. According to a recent survey conducted by University of Pennsylvania, after polling the top 100 universities in USA, most of them would admit applicants based on their performance at SATand GPA. Those who get scores above 2300 in SAT and have a GPA of 4.0 are even more likelyto be admitted to the Ivy League. None of them could take into consideration the ability toplan for their future. As a result, even if high school could plan for them what to learn in collegeor what job to take after graduation, their inability to get into a good university might let theplan go in vain.

To sum up, due to the reasons I list above, I would regard that a high school teacher'sability to help students solve problems is the most important quality.
