Nakusha what an interesting thread.
I spent a while trying to figure out which characters should be teachers and what they should teach...in the end this is my conclusion: please no-one hire them, because none are cut out for teaching.
They all either have a short fuse or are extremely fickle. Being a teacher requires determination, persistence and creativity. Although 50% of the time the teacher plans a lot of the work is thinking on our feet. I don't see Dutta being patient with anyone, I cannot see Kala managing persistence, her frustration at Suds is proof of that. AS will forever jump from one thing to another, becharey students will be mighty confused. Leela and Roops are nothing more than beautiful props. Baji: he's pretty much a glorified substitute, I can see him messing around more than the naughty kids.
Now Naku: while she has the most potential, instead of a teacher, she like Kishore I think would make wonderful pastoral members. Ie councellers, or support staff, staff who don't teach but are there to help children who may be going through a tough time. Basically to sit and talk with them if need be.
As someone who is very big on education (it is saddening that even now in 2014 in some parts of the world education is a privillege and not a right) and has two best friends who have become official teachers this past week (they both did the law degree with me, but one now teaches at a primary school so 5-11 year olds while the other is now an secondary school english teacher) I cannot emphasise enough just how much respect I have for teachers. Teaching is truly one of the most honourable professions.
THANK YOU TEACHERS :)
@others: I loved all your suggestions as to who should teach what.
