Children are like clay in
a potter's hands. Just as a potter gives a desired shape to the clay in
his hands, so do children become what their parents make them. This is
primarily the reason why the early growing years in a child's life are the
most crucial and lay the foundation for developing their nature,
personality and the individual self.
These days, more and more
children live in a household where both parents are working and often,
such children rely heavily on their teachers for help, advice and
guidance. There is no denying the fact that the role of a teacher in a
student's life is very crucial right from the time when a child joins a
day care centre to the stage when he / she takes a step forward towards
establishing a professional career.
My Teacher, My Caretaker :
The first instance when an individual comes in contact with a teacher is
when he / she is a toddler. A large percentage of working mothers all over
the world send their children to day care where the child is taken care
of, from morning to evening by teachers who feed them, play with them and
take care of their every need.
My Teacher, My Friend : The
concept of play schools has become quite popular. Before starting regular
schools, many parents enroll their children to play schools where kids of
similar age groups come in contact with one another. Here too, teachers
become a child's trusted friend and teach kids to open their minds to new
activities, thoughts and information.
My Teacher, My
Knowledge Bank: Proper education
is the need of the day if we want our country to progress. This is because
every child must be given the best level of education possible and to
achieve this, it is essential to develop proper infrastructure, open new
schools in villages as well as cities and hire well trained, motivated
teachers who can not only act as facilitators of education but also guide
students and become a good role model for them.
Besides school education,
the years spent in college also shape the future of individuals. Here
again, Lecturers and Professors have the power to truly inspire these
young individuals to develop their thought processes and choose the right
path in their pursuit for quality education.
My Teacher, My Inspiration:
Without even realizing it, teachers have the ability to create a strong
like or dislike for the subject they teach their students. The most
monotonous / serious subjects can be made interesting by an inspired and
dedicated teacher.
Often text books and curriculums
become outdated. However, an inspired teacher can overcome
these issues by keeping themselves updated with new concepts,
teaching methodologies, and technological breakthroughs. It
has been rightly said that 'children are the future of any
country' and teachers play an important role in shaping their
bright future.
