Today, in many high schools, teaching is now a
technical miracle of computer labs, digital cameras, DVD players and
laptops．Teachers e-mail parents, post messages for tudents on online bulletin
boards, and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse．
Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most
important element of education—the human connection—has not changed．Most
students still need that one-on-one，teacher-student relationship to learn and to
succeed．Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also
want personal advice and encouragement．Kids talk with me about their families,
their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems．In
my Enghsh and journahsm classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive
essays, but we also discuss college basketball and careerchoices．Students show
me pmtures of their rebuilt cars, their family vacations, and their newborn baby
brothers．This personal connection is the vital link between teacher and student
that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace． A few
years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class
and with school in general．Alhough he was a humorous young man who liked to joke
around, I knew his family life was far from ideal．Whenever I approached him
about missing homework or low test grades, he always had the same reply:"It
doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway."Even though he always said
this in a half- teasing way, I knew he needed to hear my protests and my"value
of a high school education"lecture．He needed to hear this speech from me because
I understood his family problems and he knew that I believed in him．After he
left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school．But，he did
finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there．We'd cared about
him finishing school． Students rely on compassionate teachers to
guide，to tutor, to listen, to laugh and to cry with them．Teachers provide the
most important link in the educational process-the human
one．
