Metaphor for Education

My metaphor for school is “a ship”, for teacher is “the captain” and for students is “the crew”. In one and general aspect, the teachers train the students in the schools. They improve and maybe create the students’ characters. According to me, however, the relationship between the school, the teacher and the students cannot be limited with this dimension. I believe that the students are not only the materials to be shaped by the shapers. To my opinion, the students also contribute to their teachers and even to the school they study in. In the school, the students try to develop themselves, the teachers try to train and help the students develop themselves and the school creates the environment for this. The teachers and the students cooperate for an aim such as creating a better future and like that. Without students, teachers have nothing to do and without a teacher, students cannot do well. I associate this system with a ship. According for a ship to go on its way, it both needs a captain and the crew. A ship has a target to reach, so does education, it has a captain and crew collaborating to reach the target like teachers and students. Thus, my metaphor mainly focuses on the synergy between the students and the teacher.
