<p> </p><p> Teachers are in a position where they have to take the final responsibilities for education. It is quite natural that they make enormous efforts of the improvement of their own growth. As the world and children are continuously changing, without their responsibilities, there would be no room for teachers to accomplish their duty. </p><p> Recently there have been increasing numbers of delinquency at school and students have had a fear of going to school, which have created today's unstable situation of school. At the same time, the society feels its future uncertain and our value is not stably defined. The teachers' responsibilities for teaching children toward the next century is quite high. </p><p> The question is how the teachers can grow and what the important points for it are. I regard it as to have a deep understanding of human beings. Everyone can try to understand children as human beings, and it changes teacher and children dramatically. Consequently, the understand in creates philosophy of respect for human beings in a classroom and it also defines of proper method of teaching. </p><p> Teaching does not mean to domesticate children as teachers wish. It will surely turn to be impossible if there is a deep understanding of human beings. Teaching must provide good effects for each child. </p><p> The key to teachers' growth is to pay warm attention to children who are stumbling or failing. Only growing teacher can discover a number of importance of human beings and cope with hard society in the future. The immediate issue of both education and the society is to recover the value of what human being are. </p>
