No tuition fees...
No maintenance fees...
No school no fees..
Online class???? Ohh that's a joke.
What about us???
We the teachers.....
With the whole COVID-19 situation, a lot of teachers are facing a very unique challenge.
No, it's not the saree challenge, nor its the motherhood challenge.
The challenge demanded that they go through digital transformation overnight.
Teachers said: Challenge accepted
(They hid their tech-fears behind a simple smile because children’s learning is at stake)
The challenge demanded that they have to open their house for public viewing
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(They suppressed their inhibitions, foregone their privacy because children’s learning is at stake)
The challenge demanded that they have to make do with limited or no resources.
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(They started working overtime to plan for teaching without any resources because children’s learning is at stake)
The challenge demanded that they may not be paid their full salaries.
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(They started worrying deep in their heart about their own families. But, they were undeterred because children’s learning is at stake)
The challenge demanded that they may need to teach while 30-odd parents are watching over their shoulder judging them for their every little move including but not limited to their voice modulation, pronunciation, grammar, knowledge, love & warmth
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(It didn’t matter because the children’s learning is at stake)
My appreciation and respect for these relentless fighters can’t be expressed in words. I want to salute all the gurus across the world who continued to take on the challenges that were piled upon them because children’s learning is at stake and they care!
Kudos to the teaching fraternity who lead by example.... Salute to your relentless spirit... 😊🙏👍👏
*Copy paste on your wall if you feel the same* 🙏....
