Error#5: "It is time for the individual teacher to stand up for the creativity of his students"
Correction: "It is time for individual teachers to stand up for the creativity of their students"
Explanation: The corrected sentence fits in better and consistently with the rest of the paragraph since the subjects in question are teachers and students (plural), not a singular teacher or student. Therefore, I corrected "the individual teacher" to "individual teachers" and "his students" to "their students" so that the pronoun number is consistent.
Rewritten paragraph (with corrections in bold):
"Although we have been able to talk to most of our students, there are a few we haven't been able to talk to yet. It is important to recognize that the students should be able to depend on their family. However, the school is a place of trust for many of these students. We have to keep asking questions about what the best programs would be for them. A student can learn to develop different tastes for his or her growth. As teachers, we cannot spend time on only a single topic. We have to be more creative! It is time for individual teachers to stand up for the creativity of their students!
