Life of a teacher

Teaching is the main work of a teacher. But apart from teaching what else does a teacher do?

In day-to-day life teachers have much work like copy correction, preparing questions, conducting examinations, answering paper corrections, etc.

Due to this kind of heavy schedule of work teachers cannot live life to the fullest and sometimes forget the purpose of their living.

Teachers are not working only for earning the money they need for a living. They have also a desire in mind they should change their students’ lives with their help.

A good teacher’s most happy moment in life is the success of the student.

A good teacher will always point out and correct the mistakes of the students.

Instead of giving punishment, help them to correct their mistakes. Students will always remember a teacher who helped to correct their mistakes and become good citizens.

Ignore criticism

Sometimes, someone just points out the silly mistakes of a teacher, criticizes, and creates a big issue that affects the mind and mood.

It is always better to ignore such criticism and avoid wasting your valuable time. Never make the mood off with such silly matters.

Appreciation is very necessary for encouraging the students to do better in the future.

A teacher should be always happy

It is very important that a teacher should be always happy. There should not be any limit to that happiness. Because a happy person can do nothing wrong to another person.

A happy teacher will teach better and the students will understand and learn better.

Teachers should not waste their valuable time and mood by thinking about small matters, comparing salary or promotion with others, etc.
