Who is a Good Teacher
Since two years of Post Graduation,I am in Academics. I asked a very respected personality, what are the traits of a good teacher. He answered " TEACHERS ARE TORCH BEARER". St. Kabir has very beautifully depicted about a teacher
" GURU GOBIND DONO KHADE KAKE LAGU PAY
BALIHARI GURU AAPKI GURU GOBIND DIYO BATAY"
In Sanskrit,teacher has been pictured as "GURU" which literally means a disspeller of darkness or one who shows the path of Light from dark ( tamaso ma jyotirgamay). These definitions are, how far have been justified by the faculties with their interest in teaching and research; is an aspect to be thought of. I have seen many teachers during school and college days who either used to sleep in the class or were not showing any interest in the teaching. If at all they were forced to teach, then they used to make us read us lessons, but never make us to understand. Tell me should we think of such great !!!!!!!!!!! one as our idol?
When I entered in College, I realized that some teachers are really dedicated to their profession. They go out of their way to help the students in every manner. Subsequently students are also devoted to their committment too. But since past two years, scenario has changed. Teachers are neither creative nor students are committed to their work and profession. In this context, how a teacher can be a torch bearer or a GURU in real sense?
Can you please opine me, how to be a torch bearer?
