In School and probably even out side school,a student's life is to a large extend influenced by his or her teacher.In Sandra street,Mr .Blades (Steve's teacher),not only guides but also inspires Steve and his fellow students t think critically about their environment and work hard to better their lives.

A teacher perfects a student's observation skills.Mr Blades helps Steve improve his observation skills".....did you notice that ceder ......There is something like observation,Steve ,he said.


Constant interactions with a student in and out of class encourages healthy competition among students in all spheres of life."Mr Blades had a passion for compositions and was anxious to show him how much I observed....,and whenever a composition pleased him he would please the boy and the rest of us would be jealous and hate him.

A teacher is able to inspire confidence in a student and change their perception about life and their surroundings in general through writing and observation,Mr blades is able to change Steve's perception of his street from Sandra Street as a silly little girl who ran away to the bushes to hide herself...I looked at Sandra Street,I, too knew why it is my home sweet home,.....it was dull and uninteresting to him but it meant so much to me...

Mr.Blades friendly relationship with Steve,the narrator dilutes any strained relationship or misconceptions that may have been there.The narrator and the other boys from Sandra Street felt that Mr.Blades hated them and preferred those from the other side of town,.....I felt this was because he came from the other side of town.


A teacher inspires confidence/building trust.Steve is able to confide in Mr Blades about the bananas he had hidden in Mr Blades about bananas he had hidden under the immortelle trees,something that he had not told anyone else.

In conclusion,a teacher plays a significant role in all speres of a student's life.
