Banish Those Teacher Blues

We don`t need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it`s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you`re just another brick in the wall.

``Why do you bother trying? Children are horrible, work is horrible, and the food stinks``,

HAHA! Reminds me of my Accounting teacher in Class 11 and 12, guy named Anand Swaroop..also known as Don because of his Amitabh style covering the ears hairdo.

Here was his opening statement on the first day of school for Class 12:

``Today we going to study Consignment Accounts. Everybody think it is very easy. But actually very difficult. Everybody fail. Everybody get 33 marks. Nobody pass..Okay, open books.``

Ofcourse, in all fairness he was also a teacher who was technically proficient and that is something I have never understood...

What makes a better teacher? Someone with complete mastery of the subject or someone who may have comparativly lesser knowledge of the subject but is better at inspiring students?

T-Bhai,

Oh, for the virtues of sober, reticent and calm maturity...I`m pretty sure we ALL have our moments...but then, you wouldnt be responding if I were a paragon of good manners, would you? Interestingly enough, the students of some of my saltier colleagues seem to have a good deal of respect for their looser approaches...but I wonder, why such a minority of progressive professionals on Chowk?

;)

.. so we`re all adults at least......well, some of us anyway...

...let me get this right...do you mean not all are adults here?...my goodness! what an insightful observation sammi...hmmmm...this explains the juvenile diatribes and pontifications on other boards and unplugged...

(and yes am utterly serious)

;)

T-Bhai,

Well...this is at the uni level, so we`re all adults at least....well, some of us anyway. My fav. recent story is of two very bright profs. who are co-teaching a Ph.D class and spent the entire first class debating the merits of the readings the other had assigned. Now THATS entertainment! I`d pay to just watch that class...

shandy:

...still have nightmares...if i make a silly grammar mistake miss val d`ramo would dispatch obl personally to take care of me...(shudder)...between you and samm no wonder i was a lousy student and luckily for devils and brats strayed away from teaching...

lve,

t

(ps: yes, one of these days will reply:)
