Teacher by Chance or Teacher by Choice- Part I

A person is a byproduct of his/her learning from the environment. After the first school ( home with mother as the first teacher) a person is introduced for the first time, to two aspects

a. Learning from changing teacher ( teacher based on subjects are different)
b. Learning from peers ( available in the class)

and this process continues till the level of Post graduation, usually MBA/Msc/MCom etc in case of India.

In this post the objective is to bring out the way a student is crafted with two specifically different kinds of teachers.
Let's roll..............


"Teachers are of two kinds, one Teacher by chance- one who has chosen the profession because that was the only available eased out option for him/her.

The other, ( I avoid using the word Second and will use Other) are the person who choose the profession because thats what they are passionate about.

In India, there are enormous amount of Type-I teachers, all who have chosen the profession because of the benefits associated with it. When I asked a Teacher Type -I her reason of joining this domain they were

SCHOOL TEACHER:

1. Very nice job, from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, then I go home and after taking an hour of rest, start taking tutions. which usually get over by 8:00-8:30.

2. The Pay is so less, I have to rely on tutions, last I heard was govt was thinking to Ban it, they must first increase our pay.

3. The Job is very secure, you know , no problem of men etc. and even nothing to worry about night.

4. Ya at times, I need to cover a distance, I have to catch the school bus early, so that takes lots of my time, but very soon I will shift to school near my home.

5. Yes, it gives financial stability also, I have kid you know and his demands are increasing..............



Well with a smile and a thought I left , a thought which could not let me sleep.

The Thought,

" The Top 5 challenges and benefits associated with the teaching job for Type-I teachers have nothing to do with the work.
Helping students find themselves and become better at what they do.

" Strange.
