Teaching is indeed a noble job
Being in the position to transfer knowledge and skills to the next-generation is a selfless task that usually does not reward sufficiently, save for the small amount of work satisfaction when your students are being obedient and attentive to your lessons
However, teachers are often under pressured to perform well. Personally I had a short stint of teaching primary school students with science and mathematics in Mandarin at a tuition centre, which I doubt I did a satisfactory job. At times, I even thought that I might impaired their understanding on certain subjects through my poor teaching.
"Did I teach the students well today? Do they understand the lesson?"
"Is this syllabus correct? Do I need to cover all of these in this short period?"
"Will the students perform well in the upcoming exam?"
"Why is these few kids so misbehaved? Why are they interrupting other students from studying?"
These are some of the questions that ran through my mind by the end of every workday.
Nevertheless, I believe that I could be better in teaching over time. Hopefully my current learning process would give me the chance to learn and be a better teacher to others.
Anyhow, Happy Teacher's Day.
May the great teachers in the world continued to be rewarded and motivated to carry on the noble job of educating the next generation of youngsters.
