When I decided to become an English teacher I was so excited and when people asked me about my major I answered proudly;" A teacher.", but I was surprised with their reaction, "A teacher?!?! Why didn't you choose business or pharmacy or biochemistry? Why a teacher?".
Unfortunately, teaching is looked at as an inferior job where in fact the teacher is the one who helps the architect and the doctor to reach their goals in life. In other words, there wouldn't be a doctor without a teacher so teachers should be appreciated more than that.
As teachers of new generations, we should show our students and all people around that teaching i one the best jobs one could ever have.. You get the chance to know many people and experience lovely moments. Being a teacher is not an easy job, it needs a real big heart to shape little minds.
Yes.. I am a teacher, and I'm proud of it.
Yes, being a teacher is the most wonderful thing in the world. Hope you become one of the best teachers in the world.
ReplyDeleteYour words are true. People consider that teaching is an easy task, but it is not Keep it up
ReplyDeleteTeaching is the only career that you really feel that your making a difference. And making difference in this world is not something easy to achieve. So go ahead and achieve your goals.
ReplyDeleteWe are all teachers and we supported you in what you said. So being a teacher is really a demanding job that deserves to be evaluated by others.
ReplyDeletethat is exactly what people used to tell me when I first registered TESL as well! It used to frustrate me, but now I just laugh and tell people that I'll be teaching their children soon

ReplyDeleteIt tears me apart when somebody talks about teaching. It is basically all what we hear when we go to different schools to do our observations, but the good thing about this is that we are fully aware that teaching is a very noble job.
ReplyDeleteI see that this post of yours gained the biggest number of comments Ms. Salma which shows how important this issue is to all of us. We all hear these comments about our majors. However, what makes us persevere in achieving higher standards in teaching is the motivation we receive from our own teachers and from our friends' successful experiences in teaching (like yours). Good luck in bringing the best out of you in this challenging experience you are in!
ReplyDeleteI totally identify with you, and actually i not only received those comments from random people, but from teachers themselves! That is so sad, and the only thing that will chnage that is having more professionals in the teaching career for loving teaching,not only for simply not having another option.
ReplyDeleteEven if teaching is considered by people as being not important, but actually it is the most important job that must be appreciated by all including doctors, pharmacists and biochemists
ReplyDeleteTeaching is a nice job but hard at the same time. Although a teacher should be a model and have a fairly good knowledge. Also, her duty is to educate and train.So it is an important job in which the teacher should be responsible about everything she is doing.
ReplyDeleteWithout teachers, we wouldn't have any other job positions because all require being instructed by a teacher!!Some people don't see its value but its amazing how a teacher can influence his or her students for life by always having in mind the strive for building a better future.
ReplyDeleteAlways i hear the same word A teacher!! they dont even think that if they are now educated that because a teacher help them guide them and teach them to write their names :)
ReplyDeletereally its a blog that touches me.
ReplyDeletethis is a problem we face in all majors as if the only role of our society to never accept our dreams.
absolutely true!! But teaching is really the best job in the world and if time comes back I would choose to be a teacher again and again
ReplyDeleteTeaching is the lung of education whatever it is! We should always try to change the picture of being a teacher in our society, we should prove to them that we are as important as doctors, engineers,...
ReplyDeletevery nice words, I'm with changing the old style of teaching and educate my self to become better teacher
