RE: THE IRONY OF THE LIFE OF A TEACHER: A TEACHERS STORY

in #steemiteducation7 years ago

Teachers play a key role in a child/student development. In most of the poor countries they are underpaid and the society does not offer them as much respect and gratitude as before. What keeps a teacher going under these circumstances? Only his passion for his job. Sadly in most of the cases he is the only one standing for the kids right to education, igniting the hope for a better future through learning. Nowadays parents are under the impression that the teacher is solely responsible for teaching anything to their children. (Kids are being baby sitted with electronic devices, parents are too busy to spend time with them.)

@lymepoet, It is very sad that parent now leave their responsibilities for teachers to do. Some parents are so shameless that they even come to teachers to say they are paying school fees for the child so its the teachers duty to make sure they are well behaved when as parents they dont teach them to behave well at home
