The Teacher Or, Moral Influences Employed in the Instruction and Government of the Young

"The Teacher" by Jacob Abbott is a guide that looks at using morals to teach and lead young students, particularly focusing on how to run a classroom well. Abbott uses his own time as a school principal to give new teachers ideas on how to get students interested and keep them in line. The book starts by talking about how some teachers find their jobs fun, while others don't, and that it depends on how they see things. He says teachers need to really work with their students and come up with new ways to handle their classes. By sharing stories and things he's noticed, Abbott starts to create a plan for a fun learning space and shows why it's important to know about morals and how people act in education.
