Some time my student tell me”school teaching is very hard job.Even salary structure is also not good but madam you still keep very strong opinion that teaching job is most# suited to me” I told my student”My parent in laws are old and have 45 years of married life together The pattern of their fights that I observe is always the same. They always try to change each other, which seems impossible. Both have individual personality
Out of love and concern about ones loved one health and safety issues,I have seen more and more people like my in laws who tend to change their dear near ones. However, in this process, they forget their originality. They try to impose their wishes and habits on their loved ones. which sometimes is# suffocating for them”
Friends but in our teaching job we teachers get opportunity to inculcate good habits in our children/students by practicing good habits ourselves. We can teach them the right things until they are children.Its such a joy to make changes in #unbaked pitchers-our students
The pitcher that is already baked(adults) will break if we try to change its shape.
We teachers find a lot of things that could be improved in #society. But it is very hard for us(teachers)to change parents, #spouses, neighbors, colleagues, because they are baked, solid, and hard.
In process of teaching we# teachers bring# positive changes in ourselves also. We learn to ignore things and let others live how they want.Some times if need arise, we maintain a distance from them to suppress #unnecessary conflicts.
Moral of story-Education is process and not #product.We teachers are important part of education.Teachers are always involved with #unbaked pitchers(students) therefore are #nation builder .
