Students are our Best Teachers

My Cohort of class IV B

We spend more than 9 months with students. They teach more than we have taught to them; how to go about modern gadgets, how to live fashionably, how to take a step, etc… I have my class IV students, who literally check my patient. They are so passionate. They grumble a lot and do not listen at times. 48 is a huge number to manage and teach. I regret at the end of the day that I couldn’t give them enough attention to every one of them. When I give them group work, it becomes a fish market. Each one of them makes an animal’s sounds or some screeching sounds. Sometimes it is really irritating and hectic to teach them. They make lots of noises. But on the other hand, they listen when I tell them seriously, and listen to whatever I teach them.

And there is another group of students, my class X students, who like to remain introverted and hardly open up. They are tails if I whisk my head, and they would. They listen a lot. And they work a lot, I guess. I wish them I have a student like them, who never goes against any point I make especially when I am sometimes wrong! Anyways, I wished them a good life ahead. I told them to be good, do good and good things will come back to them. They nod.

 I have my past students who have become teachers like me. Some are pursuing professions outside, where I had not heard of the places. Many are in jobs. Many students are students now. I was lucky to have good, sincere, and diligent students like the good teacher myself! I enjoy the fruit of teaching.

Many Facebook friends are my students and many blogs followers are my students. I think about them as much as they think about me.
