\nNeedless to say that everyone is well aware of this hymn, isn\u2019t it? But is that really enough? Is life in India all hunky-dory just like the hymns that we recite?
\nLet us all, for the next couple of minutes, peep into the\u00a0Life of a Teacher, the cornerstone of our Idealistic Education System.<\/strong>
\nTeaching has been a noble profession for time immemorial. To enlighten one\u2019s path is a deed that is righteous in itself. Then why do the doers still suffer? Are they not worthy of the rewards? Where is the fault then?
\nTo blame the system completely would be hypocritical and inappropriate because\u00a0at times we find the system red-handed and at others, the teachers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Faults of the System<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Teachers at private institutes, more often,\u00a0are not blessed with the rewards that they deserve<\/strong>, even after hours of dedicated lectures and satisfied students. I sense\u00a0exploitation<\/strong>, don\u2019t you?
\n\u2022 They\u00a0do not have the security of their jobs as such<\/strong>. Any moment or any day can turn out to be their Judgement day leaving them helpless without any job\/source of income.
\n\u2022\u00a0False advertisement<\/strong>\u00a0by private institutes, to draw the attraction of students like moths to a flame, is not unheard of.
\n\u2022\u00a0People, with no experience of teaching and no degrees to honk about, are given prestigious posts in place of the geniuses with numerous accolades and degrees to their names<\/strong>. Government has a stricter screening process now. The ones with the degrees are chosen..\u00a0but what about their teaching methodology? How long before that is considered as the main criteria for selection?<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Teacher-student\u00a0ratio is the worst<\/strong>\u00a0and no improvement is seen even when unemployment glares into your eyes and laughs shamelessly at your blunders. Reason?\u00a0Low education budget.. and where does all the hard-earned money of the citizens go?<\/strong>\ud83e\udd14
\n\u2022 Teachers should be respected by their students and colleagues alike and\u00a0not shown their aukaat<\/strong>\u00a0by the head of the institutes just because they are responsible for their bread.
\n\u2022 Teachers, I believe, should be made responsible for the work that they do best i.e.\u00a0to teach<\/strong>. Instead, they (Govt. teachers) are bestowed with other administrative stuff like census, mid-day meal reports, election duties and what not.\u00a0Jiska kaam ussi ko saaje, duja kare toh.<\/strong>\u2026 bas bas bahut tezz ho rahe ho!
\nLike I said, the system is not the only target to throw your allegations and accusations at.\u00a0Teachers, too, are responsible.<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Teachers, in order to taste the success with minimum efforts,\u00a0falsely sparkle their achievements, half of which is not true.<\/strong>
\n\u2022 More often than not,\u00a0the methodology followed by them is not interesting<\/strong>\u00a0and students tend to skip and hate the subject. It mostly includes exam oriented stuff and\u00a0rarely conceptual<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 Government teachers, owing to the regular payments shoved down their pockets,\u00a0don\u2019t really give a damn about the syllabus<\/strong>. Aur rahi baat unki training ki\u2026 woh toh gayi tel lene. But the cherry of the cake is that despite the decent income, many prefer to also engage in\u00a0private coaching classes<\/strong>\u00a0for that extra feather on their hats. Consequences \u2013\u00a0Bacche jo unke coaching attend nahin karte, unhe marks nahin milta hai.<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Teachers ( in general) are\u00a0not updated<\/strong>\u00a0on various topics. Hence the trend of\u00a0old school examiners<\/strong>\u00a0scares the hell out of students because they are often adamant to adapt to the ever-changing answers. Hence the advice \u2013\u00a0Bacchon agar old examiner ho toh aise jawab dena. Like seriously?<\/strong>
\nHaving said the cons, it would be incomplete and insincere to not mention the contributions of teachers who have given their blood and sweat just to lighten the darkness, likes of whom are,\u00a0Dr. RadhaKrishnan, Sri Swami Vivekananda, Savitribai Phule, Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and many many many more<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 They were, are and will continue to be\u00a0the only hope in the darkest alleys of people\u2019s minds<\/strong>\u00a0that have the slightest inclination for knowledge.
\n\u2022 Many of them help students study for\u00a0free<\/strong>. They even\u00a0bear the finances of their children to give proper education to the homeless, books and other stationery like Anand Sir(Super 30) and Padmashree Rao<\/strong>\u00a0(tea seller)
\n\u2022 Not only do they teach, they even\u00a0inspire<\/strong>\u00a0us to learn more, making our hunger for knowledge insatiable, such is their enigma!<\/p>\n

The teachers and the system are to be blamed for degrading the education of students belonging to a country known for producing some of the brightest minds of the century. The consequence?\u00a0It reverberates and affects not only the students but also the living of teachers<\/strong>. There are many Govt. and Private teachers, who yet deserve their recognition for the work they do. And yet so many who simply occupy the post undeservingly. And about the students? Well, that core debate remains for another day. For now, let\u2019s ponder over this.<\/p>\n
