Senators show respect to their teachers by following directions and behaving appropriately during class. This will not only help you perform better academically but also helps the classroom environment be more positive for everybody. Without the hard work of teachers, students wouldn’t have the education or guidance they need to succeed in life, so make sure you give them the respect they deserve. Have a great week from Be A Senator.
