The purpose of education goes far beyond students' scores on standardized tests. Education is necessary to develop children into global citizens. A teacher's role in this process is to introduce and nurture this development. However, the student is in control of their education, and they need to make the best use out of the learning opportunities that are provided to them. Teachers are critical in supplying valuable educational objectives in order for students to advance both academically and morally. In the end, it is the responsibility of the teacher to make certain that students have the necessary academic freedom available in an environment that promotes and celebrates diversity.
