It is important to support students and be available to them. As Porsche recalls, "My algebra teacher, when I got a C in his class, he was upset. He just pushed me to keep my head outa them boys and into the books. He made me go to tutoring after school to keep my grades up." Porsche also points out the importance of after school help.
In my first three years of high school the teachers were very good at being available for after school help, but my senior year the teachers were practicing work to rule to get more money in their contracts. The work to rule kept them from being available for the after school help, and thusly students suffered. Just from seeing this I really began to understand how important that help was, and how a good teacher that wants to see their students succeed makes themselves available. As a teacher I plan on being available after school for my students to swing by announced or not.
