Pope Francis: Kids need values, hope from teachers; teachers need better pay

VATICAN CITY

Teaching is about giving young people, especially troublemakers, values and hope,

and it is "an injustice" that today's educators are paid so poorly, Pope Francis said.

In a world where it is already dicult !or kids to nd a decent point o! re!erence,

they must nd positive guidance !rom teachers, who "are able to give meaning to

school, studying and culture, without reducing it all just to passing on practical

knowledge," he said #aturday.

"$ou have to teach not just about a subject, but also li!e's values and habits"

because when it comes to learning about a subject, "a computer is sucient, but to

understand how to love, to understand what the values and habits are that create

harmony in the world, you need a good teacher," he said.

The pope's remarks came during a meeting with members o! an Italian association

o! %atholic teachers, educators and school administrators in the &atican's Paul &I

audience hall.

ddressing those in the audience as "colleagues," the pope recalled his own

e(perience as a teacher, saying teaching "is a really beauti!ul job" because it lets

educators see their students "grow day a!ter day."

)owever, he said, it was "an injustice" and a "shame that teachers are poorly paid."

"Teaching is a serious commitment that only a mature and well*balanced" person

should take on, he added.

$oung people e(pect a teacher to be "a guide, a compass, an answer" as well as

someone who asks them "good +uestions," he said.

The pope called on teachers to reach out to and "love with greater intensity" the

kids on "the peripheries" o! their school those who do not like studying, who are

labeled as "dicult," who have disabilities, come other countries or !ace other

problems and disadvantages.

"-esus would say I! you love only those who study or who are well*educated, what

merit does that have There are those who try your patience, but we have to love

them even more," the pope said.

In addition to teaching "the contents" o! a particular subject, teachers need to build

an edi!ying relationship with all students, "who must !eel welcomed and loved !or

who they are, with all their limits and potential."

The pope encouraged teachers to renew their love !or humanity because "you can'tteach without passion" and he asked they be "witnesses o! li!e and hope. /ever,

ever close the door, open all o! them wide so that students will have hope."

What are the most valuable qualities of a good teacher? Good teachers are likely made

up of a combination of hundreds of qualities that allow them do their job effectively.

There is no denying that all teachers have their own unique blend of these qualities.

Each teacher is different, but virtually every good teacher has the following twenty-five

qualities.

A good teacher is accountable.

Accountable – Holding yourself to the same expectations and standards as you hold

your students.

A teacher cannot have double standards. For example, if you do not allow your students

to chew gum in your class, then you should not chew gum either.
