Who is a Teacher
Wonderful one - teaching is a noble profession and I don't know why people put a price tag on it.
Who is a teacher??
this is a very good one !
very moving !
From A School Principal's speech at a graduation..
He said "Doctor wants his child to become a doctor.........
Engineer wants his child to become engineer......
Businessman wants his ward to become CEO.....
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them..!!!!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE" ....Very sad but that's the truth.....!!!
The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.
One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued,
"What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"
To stress his point he said to another guest;
"You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?"
Teacher Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied,
"You want to know what I make?
(She paused for a second, then began...)
"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor winner.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't
make them sit for 5 min. without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.
You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn't everything.
I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.
I make my students from other countries learn everything they need
to know about English while preserving their unique cultural identity.
I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.
Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they
were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life
(Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)
Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make?
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES, EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO BECOME CEO's, DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS..........
What do you make Mr. CEO?
His jaw dropped; he went silent.
Even all personal teachers like mother, father, brother, sister, coach, friend and spiritual leader/teacher.
Do we have real teachers today?
I will always remember all my teachers since nursery..they are my friends in facebook now..cool isnt it? they will always be part of me..
I remember a quote during my college days referring to the college of education : "Teachers make all professions possible" but really my nose bleed during my calculus class.:( There's even a point when i wished i should have took education but it isnt my call..
sorry for repeats.....internet problem

It must also be mentioned that every stone is not a gem. There are some teachers who are a disgrace to the profession--- a stigma upon the noble name of the profession. Instead of promoting education and intilling sense of high morality, these teachers, by their poisonous views, make the students either hate their studies or become otherwise flawed.
this is true my dear a teacher is the only one in this world who deserve this must respect but in this country believe it or not teaching is the most disrespectful profession i have ever seen in my life where SUPREME EDUCATION COUNCIL is trying to raise the standards of their youth with prejudice that you are a qatari and no one is like u even your teacherand so the children are so ill mannered, they don't respect, they don't listen instead they threat the teachers that' u do this and i will tell my father or mother ............ and mothers and fathers straight go to the SEC and make the teacher loose her jobwhere is the respect???????????????????
They are our unsung heroes no doubt. Teaching is by far the most noble profession and yet sadly not one every one is willing to take it on simply because it also happens to be in worldly sense less rewarding as compared to other careers. But I would say in life we all have our days of being the teacher and the student,one way or the other.And yeah this post made me remember all those "old as the hills" teachers from school. You know the ones we wondered "when will they retire?"!
In the old days teaching was indeed a vocation - nowadays, for most its a profession to make money. Also, many parents do not allow the teacher to "teach"
I have always loved to be a teacher. When I was in school, I used to teach the junior classes (my own school fees had been waived as a compensation for that), when I was in the medical college, I still taught people few things which I knew well such as neuroanatomy and ECG. Upon my graduation, I became a lecturer in my own university. It has always been amazing to be a teacher.
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like..' Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'
pappu, that's childhood or parents...correct?
Teaching is the only profession which makes other professions... :) I Love my Teacher!
very true
uhmmmmmm correct but i am missing one more thing :(
I bet, you're missing your school days and your teachers badly...
