teachers are like train conductors

Teachers are like Train ConductorsMy teaching metaphorBy Hailey Tye

Teachers are like Train Conductors

Tending their students like coals

Helping their sparks to grow into flames

So that they can learn to shine bright on their own

The tracks are the curriculum, guiding the teacher and the students

And the parents and community are the passengers, excited to see where the train takes them

And the train conductor must work with everyone to make sure they arrive safe and sound

But unlike coals, students “burn” at different paces

Not all catch on fire, not all shine the same

But the ultimate goal of train conductors and teachers alike..

Is to know that once they leave the station, they can make it on their own
