What products does a teacher really produce?
Pass on to the teachers you know.
Dedicated to all the teachers
From A School Principal’s speech at a graduation……
He said “The Doctor wants his child to become a doctor…
the Engineer wants his child to become an engineer…
The Businessman wants his ward to become CEO…
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them, as well..!!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE”…
Very sad but that’s the truth..!!
The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.
One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He
argued, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best
option in life was to become only a teacher?”
To stress his point he said to another guest;
“You’re a teacher, Mrs Sharma. Be honest. What do you make?”
Teacher Mrs Sharma, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness
replied, “You want to know what I make?
(She paused for a second, then began…)
“Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor winner.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents
can’t make them sit for 5 min. without an I- Pod, Game Cube or movie
rental.
You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn’t everything.
I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.
I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to
know about India while preserving their unique cultural identity.
I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.
Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were
given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.
(Mrs Sharma paused one last time and then continued.)
Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing
money isn’t everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no
attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make?
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES, EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING
THEM TO BECOME CEO’s, AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS…
What do you make Mr. CEO? Only money?
His jaw dropped; he went silent.
THIS IS WORTH SENDING TO ENCOURAGE OUR TEACHERS
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Actually very worth sending again & again – especially to those from
other professions who think they are above teachers
I LOVE TEACHERS 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
