Teacher - Do they really know the meaning?

I've gone to school last Saturday (23rd Oct 2010). I was so associated to the school that I could not stop going there though I'd severe issues in office.

There were many reasons
1) I did not go to the school after school kits distribution - 4th Sept 2010
2) The leads are not at all comfortable with the way teachers are behaving
3) The teachers started showing their utmost longing for the kits though the kits are for the students
4) Science fair is going to be conducted in school on 30th Oct 2010 within one week's time

I was happy I saw the children but could not get time to spend with them except receiving the smiles and wishes wherever students saw me.

Went to HM room along with Mahender Sir and Phani. A new issue cropped in due to a company planning to give uniforms to the school which was already done by ours. This is not a great surprise and shock to me as I've observed the teachers from a long time. They are ready to accept anything with out thinking about anything else and they are not even ready to tell the company to give the uniforms to the primary school to whom we have not given or redirect to any other school which is in need. They want to keep it for themselves (the school).

A question that always crawls in my mind one million times is what do they get, why they are so selfish towards such kinda help coming from others.

They always come to ask for books, repairs, uniforms etc
Never did they approach with the academic reports of the students.

They always struggle do get something out of us
Never did they return us that would make us feel good.

They always look for photos, gifts, kits
Never did they bother about the factors - Improving the students thinking, performance, discipline.

We were shown a big book with a noted timetable of what is being done for 10th class students. I doubt seriously on how it is actually implemented.

Where actually the efforts to solve the problem of the students is happening.

The only justification I always got is the primary school studies should have been better and the reason for the student's failure is totally delegated to primary school teachers.

That might be the fact.
Can't the situation be turned?
Can't they spend at least an hour to teach the children basics which they lack?
Is it highly impossible?

One more frequently discussed point is - the obvious choice for the students who got TC from private schools due to their poor performance and irregularity is the government school. The parents do not think education yields them any benefit.

Can't they change their minds?
Isn't it part of education?
Isn't it covered in their so called teacher training?

We always see the teachers having gossips even during class time.
Few roam around as if they have nothing to do.
Why can't they go, take a class and inspire the students at their leisure time.

Are they really that tired? NO.
Do they not have the skills? NO.
Can they have self satisfaction? (I bet they ever thought about it)
Can't they spend an extra hour to improve the students? (A big joke!)

Phani was suggesting to identify one good teacher and improve the school.
Yeah, that's true, one teacher is enough to change the entire school.......
Is it easy to trace such teacher who can selflessly do this? Seriously NO...
Without a second thought, my obvious answer - there is no ONE and even he knows it.
Every teacher in school is selfish, political minded and checks for what's there in it for me.

At one moment after the discussion, I started thinking to resign from my software career and start teaching. The last two years or so, made me a better person and I am sure one day I will quit and start teaching kids which is one of the biggest dreams from my childhood. All the things I am facing now, have shown me what is expected out of a teacher. But the teachers who are already in field, why don't they churn and make the society a better place for the children they are dealing with.

In search of a solution that would benefit not just the students, the future of our country....

Rehabilitation for the kids left by parents

Its an extension to my earlier blog..

The baby is totally alone now... no mother and no question about father that he takes care of her...

It's not a single case.. in hyderabad itself.. we can see lots of such cases.. either a mother intentionally leaving the new born for any reason, the mother is dead and the father is either dead or has left the baby...

How to provide rehabilitation to such kids.. any idea about organizations that take a good care of such children??

Women.. Let her see the sunshine!!

My first blog... felt like writing after seeing a news paper story...

A 12 day old baby left alone.. lost her mother.. left by father.. just because the baby is a girl!!!! Shame... isn't it??

It's more than 60 years we got our independence... still there is merely any change in society's view about having a girl as a child..

People started crying when 33% reservation bill for ladies was passed. I thought there is one more chance for the men to point out the ladies and I felt some where in the heart that we should not entertain such reservations.

But then today I had to change my mind.. it's needed at least for some more time..

the new generation is making up minds.. at least few are thinking positively about girls..

Still there are many (as evidently from today's news story) who still have to makeup their minds.. who do not even remember the women who have created history.. there is the mother of all - mother theresa, a women - the president of our country, another who entered space and created history and many such women exist in the entire corner of the world.. but then such people are not accepting the fact.. its not going to happen in a day or two.. till then the girls should be taken utmost care..

its not about making bills and ensuring ladies get seats in every field..

A POWER is needed that lets men like the father in this story feel afraid to do such things..

We don't want any superior rights but just wish the men treat women EQUALLY yeah.. just EQUALLY....

A woman is no different than a man except carrying a negative tag from ages as a burden to the family that was created by a society that treated women as just a sort of servant..

Its no more the case.. women started showing their calibre in all forms.. they can work in office, take care of the family & children, help in planning and settling household problems, be a supporter and best consoler when everyone else left you and what not they are there for everything.. be like a mother, a sister, a spouse, a friend...

So guys.. change your mind towards WOMEN..

We don't want your hands to make us stand tall

We don't want your acts to let us fall

We don't want your hatred

We don't want to feel bad about you

We don't want to hate you

We don't want your money

We just need a ray to see the sunshine

We just hope for care, love, affection and equality that costs nothing for you... we are such a small contended beings of all !!!

P.S. This is merely my personal opinion.. If anything hurts, please ignore...
