A TEACHER IS ALWAYS WRONG
When a teacher lectures or discusses in class they say she is boring,
When she gives activities to her students, they say she is lazy.
When she teaches the traditional way,
they say she is not innovative;
When she introduces games or drills,
they say her class is unruly or noisy.
When she scolds students,
they say she is a "terror";
When she doesn't mind her students,
they say she is lenient.
When she submits reports early,
they say she is a "stressor";
When she submits reports late,
they say she is inconsiderate.
If she doesn't get promoted,
they say she doesn't know how to document her activities;
If she gets promoted,
they say she is only good at preparing papers.
When she always obey the principal/head teacher,
they say she is a "pet";
If she does things on her own or express her opinion,
they say she is hard- headed and proud;
When she stays beyond office hour in school,
they say she doesn't know how to manage her time;
If she goes home immediately after class, they say she lacks commitment.
A TEACHER seemed always WRONG but when she/he dies,
NO ONE can take her/his place
in the HEARTS of those people
whom she/he has TOUCHED.
