Students and teachers
"Students come to school to torture teachers".
What a true statement.
What a sad one.
First, let me define 'torture'. To torture means to make someone suffer or to cause pain to another person. To suffer means to experience some difficulties or problems.
In school, students do make teachers suffer. When they break the chairs, windows and doors in their classrooms, the teachers are held responsible. The principal has to get them fixed. New chairs are needed. Broken windows replaced. Carpenters are paid to change the doors. Teachers suffer.
Students come to school for various reasons except to learn. They refuse to complete their homework, refuse to study and are always busy talking to one another. It is a torture to teachers. It takes a lot of anger to get them do what they should do.
Teachers are ever willing to teach and impart knowledge to them. It takes time in any learning process. But they want a short cut in getting As. They choose not to work for As. They want the 'secret recipe' to instant perfect score. Give each teacher a magic wand, then.
There are students who treat their schools as motels or hotels. They come to sleep. Teachers tell them off. They get irritated and aggressive. It is as though they have every right to sleep in class. Some daring teachers challenge them while others turn away from such students.
Tough times for teachers. Should teachers attend karate class or any lessons on self-defence?
What say you......
