To be a good teacher

 To be a good teacher

In the following paragraphs, "Teacher" means teachers. "Student" also represents a student.

1. The success of a good school does not only produce outstanding person, every student must be strived to grow daily.

2. Every child is like a pearl stuck in an oyster shell. The responsibility of  teacher is to find those pearl flowers.

3. The difference between geniuses and idiots is not intelligence. The difference is because of their  self-confidence, a strong mind and good character. The purpose of teachers is to nurture and transform the students into the owners of these mental abilities.

4. The teacher's responsibility is to train the students to know curiosity , to think deeply to analyze and review. It also includes students' lifelong learning skills; criticize the information and the ability to divide and scan these.

5. Every child has a strong desire to know, the desire to explore everything, they are willing to step up and think and be involved. Teachers must motivate students these minds and train them to be stronger. After that, the skills and knowledge that children learn for a lifetime. The ability to critically analyze and digest information should be trained.

6. If the teacher's punishment and criticism were correct, almost every student could accept it.

7. Students are living children. The teacher's teaching system and style should not be fixed according to the  guiding book. There is a big difference between each student. The teaching style of the teachers should be different depending on the students.

8. Criticizing a child is not finding faults and weaknesses of children but to correct the mistakes and weaknesses of children. It should also be to find strengths and motivate them out.

9. Let's say about a teacher who teaches 100 students. His goal is to achieve 100% success. Each student contributes only 1%.: 1% if successful and 1% if failure .But for every student's parents, a student is 100% for their family, 100% if he  success or failure . Therefore,  we cannot exclude any 1% student because we are teachers.

10. All students are  the masters of the school and also the masters of the classroom. They are the masters of the learners. They are the masters of their lives. So our lords, all the duties and obligations of masters,   the rules and knowledge of the masters must be cultivated, as well as the desire to depend on one another must be cut off.

11. The responsibility of teachers is to educate students, a bigger responsibility than that is to nurture them into a good person. We must prioritize being a good person rather than being an outstanding person. In other words, to cultivate a good, clever person.

12. Teachers must be trained to have a discerning eye. They have to learn to find the strengths of the students, for example, a beautiful letter from their essay, a unique behavior among daily activities. Their sports, art, music, research and development leadership skills, management skills, etc- must be recognized  as soon as the children show. Give praise. Cultivate them.

I will always respect all the teachers....I will try.

Thoughts and Views 🙏

 Thoughts and Views 🙏


Once upon a time, an old lady moved into a slum. Next door to the house she moved to, there is a small, naïve family, a widow and her two children.. The old lady said, "I can't afford it. When I get here.. I'll have to deal with people like this.." She thought to herself and was disappointed.

At that  night, as usual, the neighborhood lights suddenly went out. When the power went out, the woman looked for her candle box to light a candle. After a while, she found it.. Not long after she met... she heard someone knocking on her door.

When she opened the door, she saw a child next door. The child asked in an excited voice, "Unty, Do you have candles ?"

The old lady thought, "So poor that they can't even buy a candle... but I'm worried that he'll come and ask for it every now and then. I don't need to give it." She thought to herself, "I don't have any," and closed the door. At that time, the child smiled and said, "I guess... you just moved home, so you didn't have enough candles, so you would be scared in the dark, so I give you a candle"  he took out a small candle from a patchwork pocket. The old lady  was ashamed of herself. She was so speechless that she couldn't say anything.

Some are jealous of those who are better than themselves, and treat those who are lower than themselves, the perception and reality will be wrong.

Personality is more important than physical appearance. It is more important to be happy than to have possessions. Although he is rich, he is often taken for granted. Some may be a poor but they have giving hands.

You don't need to be rich to be a giving hand,

You just need to have a noble attitude.

 A lot of rich people without divine intelligence are  lack of compassion...

 They looked at each other with suspicious eyes...disappearing compassion. 

At the society we live in, Only those with money are treated with respect.

If you don't have money, you can't even breathe.

They want to feed the rich people more,

It's natural that they don't care for those who are starving

Not everyone is-----
