MY RAMBLINGS : Love thy teacher!;-)

5th September. It never used to be another one of the 365 days a few years back. However with us growing up, this day has lost its charm and furor. Remembering all my teachers with nostalgia, heres a tongue in cheek take on all my school teachers, tutors and lecturers.

Of all the teachers who have ever taught me, the largest part were good, some were really admirable and there was some other few, the ones who seem unforgettable. Itemized below are a few traits of these notable teachers. Some may match up to one of these kinds unadultrated while others may be a hybrid variety of two or more of them..

Beginning with the nastiest of all,
1.) The distracted teacher

These teachers are forever occupied. They have so many things to be concerned about after all. Your hairstyle, your shoes and socks, your folded cuffs… they’ll worry about everything imaginable to human kind except for the subject they have to teach.

2.) The storyteller

These are the extra talkative ones. “Talkative” is a word allied with students as a rule. But there are some teachers who can outshine their students in gossiping. And here gossip denotes not just the one restricted to the four walls of the staff-room. These teachers will share the happenings of their personal lives with not just their colleagues but every last one. The whole class knows what he/she had in breakfast. And the entire school knows where he/she went for the honeymoon.

3.) The voluntary nanny

They want to know why your uniform is not ironed and who was the girl you were roaming with last evening. However this class is generally obsessed with the personal lives of only their few “pet” students and not the whole class.

4.) The extra focused

I’m fond of teachers falling in this category all in all. They don’t stress about anything other than teaching. They get in, teach and leave. They don’t care about the response, willingness or even the presence of students as a matter of fact.

5.) The time-bomb

No, not the ones who explode. They are the ones who keep reminding you about the days left for your test or exam. They have a biologically fixed to-do list in their head, and a countdown timer as well.

6.) The pushover

These are the easy victims. All you have to do to get a ‘yes’ from them is adulation. You put them on a pedestal and they will happily give the license to even get your boyfriend get in your class. (I know I exaggerated it a bit... but who cares?)

7.) The fashion-monger
They cherry-picked their profession although what they are best at is raving about their last shopping spree and how everyone else lacks fashion-sense. Nine times out of ten, femininity rules this group.
Distinguishing feature- well coordinated dress, footwear, accessories...
Motto- Vanity is fair!

These are all I can think about right now. You can add some of yours. Picking holes in their teachers is every student’s birthright after all!
