The first class is the most important class because it sets the tone of everything. Teachers like me receive messages every day about 10 month lesson plans. The thing is a teacher can give you an overview of how a class is conducted but without the first class, initial assessment of weaknesses and strengths can’t be made. As a result, we can’t make a proper lesson plan with an imaginary class. When you ask a teacher, “ Can you help me get this score?” Most would say yes but the teacher can only help you if you also do your part to show up. There are many students who ask for help but very few actually are willing to help themselves.
