Happy Teacher's Day!

Wishing all educators a very Happy Teacher's Day!

Got this from a colleague this morning...

Our Profession - tough job !
If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for 15 weeks (one semester), then he might have some conception of the classroom lecturer's job.
~adapted from Donald D. Quinn.

Our Reward - cannot see immediately !
In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years. ~Jacques Barzun

Our Satisfaction - makes a long and lasting impact !
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings.
The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. ~Carl Jung

Have a very Fulfilled and Happy Teacher's Day !

Will be back soon after the tons of exam scripts... a few more piles to go...
