Teacher - A Mother , Mentor , Philosopher and Guide

Teachers Day:

First of all, A very Happy Teachers' Day to all the Teachers. 

Teachers are the foundation for a good and balanced generation. 

We hold the utmost responsibility to serve our nation, as we have the roots in our hands.

 
We are the actual nurturers of this Garden. 

A teacher plays a vital role in molding a child’s entire personality. 

A teacher is not just performing a job as an individual, but she works for a noble cause. 

A teacher should be proud of the duty she performs; she is a mother-like figure, making school a second home for kids.

We teachers should believe in ourselves and have a vision to make the best generation, and only then can we work towards our goal. 

A teacher is not only to teach what is given in the book or in the syllabus. 

We should not set boundaries around ourselves limited to only the syllabus, as actual teaching is beyond the syllabus and only a teacher can do it, but for that, we have to go the extra mile. 

I think we should go that extra mile, as only then will we be able to serve the actual purpose of being a teacher. 

A teacher has a lot of impact on a student’s mind, so to prove ourselves as the real role models, we should give that extra mile and effort. 

When I say impact, it means children believe us more than even their parents, and this belief is our strength, and that can inspire us to deliver more and the best. 

The child absorbs each and every word said by his teacher, which remains with him throughout his entire life, and mostly, the teacher's words become a student’s character.

Children are so inspired by their teachers that mostly on school days, most of the kids want to become teachers, and when they role-play, they enact as their teachers. 

Now, see how much the impact as a teacher, her behavior, and her attitude hold on the minds and hearts of the kids, don’t you think it’s a big responsibility to portray ourselves right?

Our goal as teachers is not and never should be the completion of the syllabus given to us, because as teachers, we should believe that the sky is the limit for us to reach and to teach.

Our attitude should be to make studies enjoyable and interesting rather than a burden for kids, as in today’s scenario, studies have become a burden and very boring.

Our attitude should be to make studies enjoyable and interesting rather than a burden for kids, as in today’s scenario, studies have become a burden and very boring. 

The main reasons I find the burden are:

1. We focus on showbiz rather than on the actual essence of education. (Here, I mean textbooks are chosen by their cover and not by the content.)

1. We have become mechanical, and that human touch of thinking and teaching with heart is missing.

A teacher is not only an employee, but should not think that way. Our wages are given as a token of our services rendered to a particular institute, but we owe our duty towards society, as we are in a noble profession, and our thinking also should be expanded to more than just a time-bound duty.

If we consider wages and time-to-time duty in our minds, then we are in the wrong profession. 

We should look into ourselves and question ourselves that, if I have chosen teaching as my profession, then I have to give my 100% and expect (here wages or recognition) almost nothing. 

By this, I don’t mean that you should be underpaid or tolerate work exploitation, but I am trying to say that the quality of our work should not get diluted for any reason, as we have to set society an example of what a teacher actually means.

A teacher takes initiative in the upbringing of students into responsible citizens. We strongly believe that a teacher has unconditional love towards her students, irrespective of job timings and wages paid to her.

It is we who make a subject interesting or boring, as no subject is actually interesting or boring. We have often heard students saying, “I like this subject because my teacher teaches in such a way that it becomes easy and interesting, “and even, we hear the students say it in the reverse way.

We should daily remind ourselves that we are very important to make a change in society, and we should not have any barrier to wages, time, effort, etc., to give our best.

We should ignite ourselves to make a change in society, and we should regularly update ourselves through the resources available to us. Only then can we help the coming generation better.

With this, I once again wish you all a very happy Teacher's Day and a happy, interesting, innovative, creative, out-of-the-way, out-of-the-box teaching.
