It occurred to me the other day that the Bible does not discuss Christians Teachers. This is not surprising given that for most of the 3000 or so years the Bible spans there were no schools as we are used to them now. Teaching was the job of parents. The Bible certainly has a lot to say about their role in teaching their children.
How then, should Christian teachers be different from any others in the secular classroom? I wonder what your thoughts are?
Here are a couple of mine:
1. The Christian Teacher must always strive to be the best possible teacher utilising their gift of teaching
2. When a child comes to the Christian teacher the teacher must seek to respond to that child with the attention and compassion that Jesus showed to children
