Fifty years from now, it will no longer matter how
cute, tall, or successful I was; nor will it matter how much money I had. Yet
the world might be different to somebody because I once inspired and affected
this person’s childhood positively. Who knows, I might even be teaching the
future president of my country… So what does matter is that we don’t underestimate
the power of a teacher, because as Christina McAuliffe once said: “I touch the
future. I teach.” In order to do so, a teacher should take into account her/his different roles, students’ self-esteem, students' needs and different levels of learning, student’s interaction among them as well
as with the teacher, in addition to the general classroom environment...and much more.No one ever said that teaching is an easy job. Yet, we must always remember that “A teacher who is attempting to teach
without inspiring the pupils with a desire to learn is hammering cold iron.”
Horace Mann.
I totally agree with you.A good teacher teaches from the heart notjust from the book.
ReplyDeleteexactly! ;)
DeleteWhat matters is that we get paid well. lol
ReplyDeleteNo, that was a joke. What matters is that we get enough promotions and vacations. Oops! Another joke :p
Seriously, What matters is the influence we're going to leave in each and every student's heart and mind. We're all dying, but our influence is not.
and I'm sure you are turning out to be such a teacher!!!
DeleteYou are an amazing teacher Sara ! It wont shock me to know that your future students are going to become presidents, scientists, and doctors. A person that gives from his heart will be nothing but successful.
ReplyDeleteit means a lot comming from you Iman♡ thank you
DeleteWe should value and love what ever we do in this life. It is what we love that keeps us attached to life, as we live our lives pursuing what we love, and as we walk through this long journey called " life " we should be able to spread what we have learned and give others what they are waiting from us.Because after all, our deeds are going to speak about us after we die, and what will only matter is what we have planted in others heart and life!
ReplyDeleteIndeed teachers touch the future by educating the next generations. Unfortunately, our society doesn't appreciate much the value of teaching and be able to see how massively it can influence the next generations! In Germany, people believe that teachers should be given all the credit because without them, we wouldn't have doctors or engineers, job positions that middle eastern societies value more than teaching. I hope that as teachers we keep on inspiring our students to always strive for more!
ReplyDeleteAfter this, I'm sure that you will become a perfect teacher because just successful teachers think in this way!!
ReplyDeleteNice blog sister.. I like the last sentence (people believe that teachers should be given all the credit because without them, we wouldn't have doctors or engineers)..so without teacher life would have no class.
ReplyDeleteA teacher is the pillar of the society. It is the axis around which this society rotates. The teacher is an educator and the noblest thing a person can do is to educate the new generation and prepare them for a future which will definitely be full of challenge.
