Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.
Reading over this blog I can see what the real job of teachers is. Teacher's jobs are not to teach, while that is a part of their job, it is not the whole job. I feel like some teachers do not realize this, and that is where you can tell the difference between a good teacher and an amazing one. The teacher is saying his job is to lead these students through life, and not make it easy, and teach them how the real world is not forgiving. He is trying to get it through the thick skull of high schoolers that their job at school is not to learn how to find x of a crazy equation, or answer a study guide correctly, but rather to learn how to invest in your life and learn to overcome adversity in its many forms. The "main event" of school is to get you ready for life. Life where you excel and become great and do great things. But that life can only come from hard work, and never quitting.
