My School Teachers.....
I think teachers,good dedicated teachers at that are the most wonderful people ever....
My teachers in D.A.V ,for instance ,were the best guides in my school life and of course that influences the life after school.I got the passion to read,write and think from them .
Met my teacher Ms.Sumitra recently, who made Social Sciences as my favourite subject,when other students else where in the world ( atleast in India for sure)found it extremely tiring ,she made it refreshingly interesting.
True, most of us don't pursue social science as a career,but you get to think of the pros and cons in everything you do ,from the mistakes made by the ancestors.Also, if students can like the 'dry' subjects , its even more good for them to deal with tougher subjects.
Even if the student eventually goes into a lucrative field and earns more than his teacher,the confidence and the ability was necessarily nutured in the person by a good teacher.
My teachers were no exceptions.
I remember my English teacher Ms.Rani giving me hell a lot of impositions for spelling mistakes and I remember the day she told me to stand in front of the whole class since I didn't finish my homework,I remember how humiliated i felt.I remember how she made us write four reviews on sunday from the HINDU articles and weekly book review to be submitted ,it was such an over burdern then.But now i realise how she played an important role in my life when some of my colleagues wonder how i have the patience to read novels and books when they hardly "get" time to read a pamphlet on the fly.
There were many others who influenced my taste and likes.
So, I realise with proof( that is me) that even if we know gold is present in the underground, surely they can not detected with naked eye and experts are required to locate and to polish them to be purchased off the shelves, same with humans too.
On the other side of the spectrum, there were and there are some teachers, who couldn't appreciate the importance of their subject or the way it was rendered and ultimately the students never are able to realise the chance they lost to know them.
If only the teachers or the educators in general , groom the students to think on their own , there will not be any problem with the way they are selected for higher education and the politicians can be spared from their 'duty' of making education reach the masses by lessening the standards of education further to abysmal levels.
India can shine or even outshine other countries,if people are groomed from the grassroots levels of maturity, i mean the students particularly,without doubt teachers are the important lever pushers in this regard,if we want our country to be projected into the space for all the world to see.
And i can vouch that my school did make really good citizens,since most of my school mates are in really good position or on the path to success.
