A
student can change the world if he is directed correctly. To direct him
correctly, he need a good teacher.
A lot of students achieve their goals but on the other
hands there are a lot of students who reach somewhere without an aim and decide
it as their goal, they think and believe in destiny. Even though destiny plays
an important role in our life, reaching the goal with an aim and reaching the
goal without an aim makes a lot of differences.
Each and every student has an aim, or an interest. If a
student does not have an aim, it is the fault of his/her parents and teachers.
Some parents support their children in achieving their aim and interest. But
some parents impose their interests to their children and tell them to achieve
it. Some may succeed, others fail. Some parents don’t do both. Here I mean
discouraging teachers as not only the teachers, but also their parents. Parents
are their first teachers.
Some students are there who are lazy and not interested
in studying or other activities. It is the duty of the teacher to make him
realize the importance of education, the importance of whatever he learns. But
many teachers fail to do that. Many teachers work for their own benefits. They
need a status and salary. I had come across such teachers in my life. This is
not my disrespect to my teachers, but it is the fact & truth.
During my graduation, I've seen teachers who came to
class and teach something indifferent, not even able to clear the doubts of the
students. They tackle the student’s doubts. Some teachers involve in teaching
by preparing well. Students should hats off the hard work of such teachers.
Torturing is another way of discouraging students.
Students love to write a general test or participate in general quiz, but they
hate academic exams. Why??? The after effects of the academic exams are a kind
of torture from teachers, marks, discrimination, involvement of parents etc.
Exams are the most interesting activity for a student if he goes through a well
taught class. Some teachers don’t need the student’s concept or student’s way
of writing. They need the Xerox of the text books for the exam. Students should
be made to write exams with full interest.
A class is not a show-off place for the teachers. This is
what a teacher should understand. A teacher should be down to earth while
sharing knowledge. If a teacher teaches well, students will have interest to
listen, thus by having a well disciplined class. The teachers should first
understand that they were a student before becoming a teacher.
Student’s interest in extracurricular activities must be
boosted by the parents, as well as the teachers. A teacher teaches a student a
lot of portions in one day at school or college. But, if a teacher is taking
tuition, she teaches only a few portions per day. Students think that it is
because, students can learn perfectly. But if the teacher extends the class,
she gets her fees.
Now, come to another way of thought. A teacher teaches
the academic portions so quickly covering a lot of portions, giving a lot of
work during weekends etc. but, does a teacher teach like that, if it is a music
class or a drawing class or some other?? It is because, if a student gets idea
of the activity, he can do it by himself. So the teacher teaches slowly so that
the students remain. A student who can learn or work on a heavy load of
academics can surely learn the cultural activities so simply.
During my school days, my teacher asked the whole class
to write an essay about our educational system. I wrote all the facts and truth
in that essay. The teacher after reading it scolded me a lot and took the paper
with her. She called my parents and said that the things written in that essay
was absolutely true, but she was afraid whether this essay would reach higher
staffs, which will end up creating problem for the teacher. If that teacher had
said that to me the same thing she said to my parents, it would've been an
encouragement to my writing. The day I wrote this essay was the day they had
inspection from university. That made teacher more afraid of my essay. But if
she would've supported me on that day, even a small good change would have
affected our educational system. But it didn't happened.
Finally, when I end up this writing, I've one more thing
to say. “ The interest of a student is the secret of a teacher’s dedication.
And teacher’s dedication is the secret of a student’s respect.
There is no age for
sharing and getting knowledge. Even a 1 year old kid can teach an old man
something. But, the mind set to accept knowledge and share knowledge is
important.
Get Knowledge. Share
Knowledge. Let’s create a beautiful world…..
Thank God
