Teacher's Day-5th September

So what is education?

Is it about the 95% percentile in your exams?

Is it about having 85% attendance?

Is it about standing ALL INDIA RANK under 100?

OR

Is it about staying grounded always?

Is it about leadership?

Is it about teamwork?

Is it about honesty?

Is it about following ethics in  our professions like medicine  and media ?

Should it not be about consciousness, compassion and courage?

Should it not be about having clarity, curiosity and courtesy?

Should it not be about having a learning attitude always?

Should education not encourage serving others?

Should it not encourage taking risks and bold decisions to make a change for a better world?

Teachers are the fundamental backbone of the society and have to lead by example. The importance of teaching things by doing them is absolutely priceless.

The students need to be shown that the teachers are not about students having the highest grades, but much more than that ,that will shape the destiny of the child’s future.

The irrelevance and relevance of the marks and other essential qualities need to be stressed will shape their destiny.

The importance from marks needs to be shifted to more important qualities of humility and having a serving attitude.

Things are better learnt by setting an example. Hence the importance of project works and educational tours and trips.

Vivekananda said 

                  1  Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in Man.

                  2   Religion is the manifestation of the divinity already in Man.

I am told education should be divided into two,

  1.Formal -That will fetch jobs .

  2.Spiritual -That will help us face challenges head on.

I beg to disagree, we just need few great teachers.
