Modern day teachers

"I feel so bored enacting things in front of bunch of little jokers".she said,other one said,"why can't they stay at home in vacations,haven't they already exhausted us in the day to day teaching?"I heard this conversation between two females, who were supposedly primary teachers.I was shocked and angry.I am a teacher too and I admit that it wasn't a profession of my choice.I always wanted to be a doctor.When I was in class tenth,I remember a friend of mine had expressed wish to be a teacher one day and many of us had said"oh!just because you can't be anything else,so you're opting to be a teacher!!!!"

When I couldn't clear my PMT entrances and after graduation my mom who was in hospital those days,she had literally emotionally blackmailed me to appear for B.Ed entrance test.I went for it,appeared for it left all reasoning based question with a hope that I will fail.But I got selected and got the best college in the city.That was the turning point while my training I realized that I liked to teach and there was no turning back.I have enjoyed my early 11 year long spell of teaching and I am loving it again when I have  resumed teaching.three years back.

So when I Heard these two talking like this I felt like shaking them up and asking why were they playing with the future of the future generation of our country.I firmly believe that teachers are born.You need certain innate qualities to be a teacher,rather to be an effective teacher.Love for teaching,love for students,patience,capacity to unlearn,learn and relearn every possible day,compassion,understanding and patience are just few of the qualities I can mention.

I may sound prejudiced but that's the reason that I respect very few male teachers.Male teachers are too busy earning their living through teaching and tutions and coachings to do justice on one to one basis.Then the humane connection,I feel that females are much more capable.You may choose to disagree.

Now that I am a champion of cause of Disability Rights I sorely miss dedicated teachers to this cause.Our government talk of Inclusive education but are our mainstream teachers really ready to include special needs kids in their neurotypical majority class.Sadly answer is "NO" I see it on day to day basis around me and It's frustrating.

I wish there was a way to ensure teachers were solely appointed when they really possessed aptitude to do justice to their students.
