Guru Goving dou khade, Kake lagu pao
Bali hari Guru apne, Govind diyo bataye!
A very happy
teachers day to all my Teachers. Not only this day but i have always thanked
you in my heart for making me the person i am today. I wonder, if krishnan
or many other kids like him would have the same gratitude towards their
teachers!
Torture in school
has become a common affair. Kasab is been taken care off and is not punished
for such a heinous crime, why are these kids? The reasons for which they were
harshly penalized, was it really a crime??
- Krishnan could not write English properly. To make him
teach that, his teacher used cane on his back.
- 10 year old girl had a habit of bed-wetting, her teacher forced
her to drink her urine to teach her a lesson.
- 5 year old boy could not control and urinated
and vomited in the class. The cause for this act was his ill
health. Instead of taking care of him, his teacher hit on his private
parts with a hot tong to discipline him.
- 9 year old boy was thrashed viciously for not paying
attention in the class.
- Boys of 9th standard were fighting and as a result their head
master gave both of them such thrashing that they had to be admitted in the
hospital for days.
These are just a
few just a few cases among few registered and many many unregistered. Of
course the follow up news states that the teacher has been punished, jailed or
suspended. But have we thought about the psyche of the child who is undergoing
this pain? The external marks will certainly go sooner or later, but what about
the internal healing?
Will these kids
have a normal childhood?
Will they go to
school happily?
Will that boy ever
learn English or will he fear for that subject always?
Will that little
girl sleep at night without fear?
Will that kid be
ever playful in class or will he become a quiet person?
Won't they
be embarrassed in front of their classmates?
Will they become
the fearless fighters of the young nation?
India is a nation
where we put our teachers before God. We worship our teachers for the knowledge
they spread, for the lessons of life they teach, for
the guidance they give and for the love they spread in our lives. Is
it true in the current situation? My niece goes to school and soon my
daughter will join her, but can i be in peace when they are in school? We all
know the answer in our hearts. On behalf of all the parents, i can only request
to all the teachers on this Teachers' day -
"Sir and
Ma'am, Thank you for being the torch bearer in our kid's life. Please show them
the correct path with lots of love. Love is the only language which we teach
them and send them to you. Be patient with them. Give them a reason to
smile. Make them a person to be proud of. Be the leading light. They might
be naughty but not scandalous, they might be playful but not illicit, they
might be disobedient but not disgraceful, they might be mischievous
but not inexcusable."
Thank you Sir, Thank you Ma'am!
