I’m currently about to start what everyone around me labels “the most important year of your high school career”. Yes, junior year is upon me and most of my friends, the year that our high school counselors threaten could make or break us, and yet surprisingly very few of my peers seem to understand why your junior year in high school holds so much importance.

If you turn on your computer, television or radio you’ll be bombarded with news of the recent economic collapse and the stories about its casualties. As many families brace against foreclosures, high interest rates and job loss, many struggle to make ends meet, no less finance a child entering college.

A good teacher is rare, and generally when you find one you’ll see that they’re buried behind the gift cookies and flowers students heap on their desks. But for the most part, our day-to-day teachers have desks covered only in assignments, paperclips and grading pens. Obviously teachers have faults, they’re human; as we always awkwardly remember when we see them at the local grocery store, shuffling around in cartoon pajamas. And while we can’t expect perfection from all of them, there are always a few that we find not to be living up to any form of our golden standard.
