"The" Teacher


The skool is the place wer almost all of us spend, say, most of our childhood. N then der re nurtured drmz of college. All in all, the first quarter of life is spent in academic pursuits. And der enters the teacher. A teacher is some one who is in close circuits with each of us, and at times ends up knowing more of us, and how to handle us. The teacher motivates, pushes n propels us 2wards wereva we wanna be. Now tats the ideal teacher. But where??
Gone are those days when der was some one 2 luk in2 our faults, n yet manage 2 find a silver lining in them, much 2 our delight.. N tat, was the teacher. Today the teacher is more of some one who walks in2 a four walled room, churns out facts n stuff on a black board, goes around for a walk in the classroom and manages 2 get the money. Wer s d attention.. n wer s d space.. tis ultimately lead 2 d drain of the ideal student. The student has 2 face a tougher world, which expects a person to juggle things, evolve as a dynamic individual, apart from a hundred and one responsibilities over the head. This means ppl who make it 2 d educational institutions , i.e, students and teachers, are no longer interested in each other, neither in wat dey do.. so academic institutions have become biz hubs over the yrs.. dey churn money, come wat may, even be it the big devil called recession.. dey probably wud end up as economic zones, wer real money can be analysed.. I don mean 2 say tat teachers n students no longer really exist; wat i imply is the decline in standards n quality.. The gud ones in the lot do exist, n 'm quite proud of em, dey who silently leave a mark upon us n be d positive change in us, n i thank em. Dis is a real crisis; It may sound really dumb 2 say tat, but den, changing tis wud really lead 2 a nice whole new world. Academic institutions wud be the ones in their real sense. Hope that very day is not really far..
