A Teacher's Responsibility to a Student

So what really is a teacher's responsibility to their students? Just as the kid in the video above explains, a teacher's job is to motivate students to learn and not just leave them to do packets. They have to actively engage in the classroom to have their students engage. With no one to care for students how do teachers and the rest of the education system expect students to care about problems within the society if they will not even care about their own education first? I am sure many people within America complain that students are not motivated and there should be something done about it, but have they ever thought about looking within themselves and trying to fix the problem by actively helping? In order to create students that will care, like I have said in previous posts, we need people who will care about them. By doing this, more people are likely to start caring about the problems of the world or their own personal problems. This will help those that are in school to get a better education and actually make school a place where they can express themselves and not feel like they are trapped in a boring class.
