What does it mean to be a teacher? School teacher means you need to be demonstrating poise every day. CAN'T WEAR CLOTHES WE LIKE, NO SHORTS! PLEASE NOT EVEN JEANS! IF WE WEAR ONE, EDUCATED ANIMALS WILL BE THE FIRST ONES TO DISSECT WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR DRESS? Being a school teacher means, leave your children at home,and prioritize other kids over anything else in the world. What For? Only to be trolled by the students or the society we live in. I remember my College Lecturer, Dr. Yangdon warning us in the last class of my college days that Teacher's life is like a glass house, then I wondered why? But then This hit me hard right now cause I am a teacher and I need to be perfect, and don't do anything for myself and if I don't comply, I get trolled or become the talk of the town. I now realize why. As a teacher, we need to follow certain code of conduct, like so many things which only strains our mental health and nothing else. If readers think, I am being negative, Yes I am cause there isn't anything positive things to talk about. Ask me why?
Teachers are hard working professional. We don't want to be one but we have to be. if we don't, there will be hundreds of children waiting for us in their classrooms for new things every day. we put their learning first and do not even sleep or eat ourselves only because we need to deliver their lessons on time without failure. And then comes, their notebook that we need to assess and correct without failure, at times even cry and beg them to submit. And some of them will never show their face again in school cause teachers begged them to write and submit their books on time. There again, the teacher will swallow all their pride and humility and call their parents to ask their whereabouts and the biggest irony is, it backfires. Parents will scold teachers for taking care of their children at school. Teachers are the only beings on the earth who get back all the worst experiences for being too nice. When I say, students are failing to submit books on time, some critics might say, teachers failure for failing to convince students or for instructing poorly. if we give ZERO, No No! We can't do that, ask me why? We are teachers and teachers are Buddhas! We are not supposed to do that. Teachers live like a zombie, hypocrite zombies cause we are meant to live like that, we can't allow our inner child to come out and be happy! If we don't comply, WE ARE CHILDISH! and if we do, we are deadly serious! NO! NO! teachers ain't supposed to do that! And some experts say, we need to create a conducive environment for the kids in class, like being very lively, and if we create one, Educated adults will be the first ones to say, DON'T STAY TOO CLOSE WITH STUDENTS!
Forget about all the heavy and hectic work we deliver in our daily lives as a teacher. We have to multi-task and even be their coach for dancing, coach for sports as you can see in the above picture. Madam Babita a class teacher, and working mother of two children needs attention from her and there she is coaching students and by the way, calming students down students to form a group so that they take a good picture for participating in the sports event on November 11 on PCAL's ground (Pendent Cement Authority Limited).
