thanks for this thread...good work maa haritha.
Out of my 25 plus years teaching experience...( in Brunei) I can tells this loud.
The teachers play a big role in a child's life...but parents also do the same.
The teachers spend more time wswith the students than the parents. So defenitely teachers can influence their mind. I have my ex students all over the globe...and I still keep in touch with most of them.
Iam over thrilled when I hear these words from my students..
" teacher today I am a doctor and working in Australia./Uk/newzealand/SIngapore..and I have to thank you for making me a doctor for putting the interesting seed into my head as an excellent Biology teacher"
"teacher thank you for playing a major role in my life and making me what I am today"
As I write this... infact my eyes are filled with tears...I was not only a teacher to my students but also a friend to them...Since I was teaching higher grade students...( grown ups) they used to disucss their family/personal matter with me and ask my advise. I sdtill miss my students.
In 2007 I attended one of my ex students wedding in India ..( he even changed his wedding date according to my date of arrival in India...ofcourse it was planned much earlier than his wedding date...) I can not forget that day as I was given so much importance in such a big wedding...I was treated like a celebrety in that wedding.
Anyway...thanks haritha for making me remember all the above said.
