I think the most important role teachers play is that of advocate. Every child is different. They have different circumstances, life experiences, home environments, needs, learning modalities, etc. A teacher has to be sensitive and observant in order to do their best at understanding each child and their needs.
Sometimes you may need to speak to administrators, other children, or parents on behalf of a child, to help them be and do their best. There are many wonderful things about our public school system but there are also many ways for a child to get "lost in the system". Teachers must strive their best to not let this happen.
