The first week of this month was
filled with different teacher’s day activities and programs. It feels immensely
happy as a teacher when your students come and wish especially the ones you
have left teaching and they still they come to wish, just to remind that they
haven’t forgotten and to appreciate what I have taught. Sometimes they make you
feel like the world’s best teacher.
I took a little time out to analyse and
evaluate myself as a teacher though I have never considered myself a good
teacher, there are lot of flaws I make while teaching, and there are times when
I find myself in wrong place as if I don’t belong to this place. Perhaps this
is because I never planned for it yet completing 5 years as a teacher. I came
into this as a wildcard entry, Started teaching even before I knew what and how
to teach. In fact instead of teaching there are lots of things that I have
learnt over theses five years. Using different tactics and some unconventional
methods, I make my best efforts to share whatever little knowledge I have got
in the best possible manner I could.
I believe myself a bad teacher
for there are situations when I am unable to satisfy my students with my
explanations, there are situations when I am unable to hold onto my class,
there are situations when I loose my temper and start yelling on my students,
There are situations when i am unable to treat them with the sense of equality.
And there are situations when I start expecting them to like and respect what I
teach to them. And that’s why I believe that there is no way I can match up to
the honored and the noblest profession of all kind.
