I wanted to write this since last week but i had no time for anything,really teachers have loads to do. Funny thing is my bag is heavier now than as it used to be in my student days. I truly appreciate all teachers who taught me as well as who didn't, but frankly teaching is not my cup of tea. Its a respectful awesome profession but not for me.
Anyways this is about my experience.Last saturday was open house a day when all marksheets for the terminal are given together to the parents.It is awful day I agree.One concerned parent says 'Mam i even changed my kids(class 5) tuition this term but still he scored nothing'.Another one says 'Mam my kid doesnt study at home what do i do?'.Yet another concerned parent says 'After being in school from 7 am to 1:30 pm the kids are so tired they cant study?'.I just replied to these 'the kids have to study or they cannot score well',but what is with parents these days.Are school teachers and tuition teachers responsible for your kids study,they guide the kid but finally you really have to work with your own kid until they understand the importance of studyin.Teachers teach but a kid spends so much time at home he really learns better from parents.But now a days trend is different kids go to school then tuitions or activity classes then day is over parents you have little more responsibility than just paying for your kids education.I m sorry i might be sounding very harsh but I did see parents scolding teachers for their kids failure why do you forget under same teacher some kid scored cent percent.
I dont look scary to children plus I m so young I dont even look like a teacher above that I have no experience so its really hard for me to control class.Small class kids hardly know importance of studyin so they need to be controlled but I m bad at it.The best part is the school kids are divided into three sections one has cream students next mediocre and the last one has low scorers,and I m stuck with third category mostly,how will i control the class?Its far more easier to teach higher classes(though it means revising at home doin tough calculations)than teaching younger kids.Now I have no doubt teaching is one profession i wil never opt for.Fun with kids is one thing taking their responsibility is another.I owe a lot to my school teachers tuition teachers and mostly to my parents.
