The Impact of Teachers
The impact teachers have on their students whether in this country or another cannot be denied. I am not considered to be a recognized teacher but that does not mean I do not understand the impact teachers have on their students. I have taught classes as a result of my experience and training in past positions I have held. The impact of a teacher on any student population can be life changing. There are many teachers in several walks of life they are not just in our schools. They are also in private industry and professional organizations. Teachers or instructors as they are sometimes called are a large impact on the success of their students. Like any other profession there are good teachers and bad teachers.

This scenario is applicable to public, private and private industry situations. There are times when there is new technology being introduced in private industry that are not well accepted or that is not understood. How new technology is introduced has a big impact from an instruction standpoint on how students accept the new technology.
New technology in our public and private schools is impacted by the methods of teachers who introduce the technology in the classroom. Today with the Internet there are new opportunities and techniques to learn everyday and how these opportunities are presented by teachers will have an impact on their acceptance.
Teachers must provide an environment and many do where students think for themselves. Teachers who offer the opportunity for students to develop their own opinions on the issues help students to think for themselves. This characteristic of a teacher provides immense impact. Students should know that they have a right to their opinion and others have a right to theirs. Understanding that
