Imagine a class without a teacher. What would it be like?
“FUN. Super fun!”- Honesto
Futile. Just like a home without a mother, school is not a home without a teacher. To fulfill one’s life, it must be rendered by service of love and compassion. Teachers do have these both. Two most “valuable” values which students long to feel and to receive from their teachers, their idols. The fruit of their labor are their students’ productivity and achievement in every step of the way. A teacher is like an engine that keeps the students going to reach the finish line of the race- success.
Unruly. In every organization, there should be a leader. Without somebody to guide, the clan will be a limbo with no sure foundation. Same scenario in a classroom of thirty to forty students with differences in preferences, skills and behaviour, with nobody to look after these individuals, it will be full of chaos and profligate actions. In the classroom, the teacher is the master. Her words full of authority are unbreakable and should be obeyed by everybody.One word from one person results to one team ,one body, one love.
Nonsense. It is said that for someone to complete the task well, he should understand first the purpose of doing it. Teachers teach. Students study. A classroom without students is meaningless, same as without a teacher, it’s pointless. Imagine the learners going to school without the diligent teachers to look after them, to teach them the lessons, to impart them the real life experience, and to integrate the values from everything, such an insane set-up.
In this life where everything seems to be instant, I suggest to forget this “fun”. Fail to complain and to look on the negative side. Instill the kindness, compassion, unconditional love and spread the humanity.Existence without a drive is a house made up of unfilled materials- fragile, breakable, and directionless.
Walk. Run. Fall. Rise. Carry on. Learn.
Things we learn and the ones we forget started at school, with our master, our idol,ourfriend, and lover, our teacher.
Definitely, school without a teacher is fun!
