TEACHERS MATTER…!
Mr. Srikumar Menon,
CEO - Management Learning System
When I was growing up, I didn't enjoy school very much. I liked the
English class but when it came to maths and science, I didn't do that well. The
truth is, I barely made it through these 2 subjects.
Today, our educational system looks much different than it did when I
was a student. Especially in recent years, we’ve been undergoing a major
transition in education.
Kids today grow up immersed in a world of digital technology.
Information is now freely available to everyone. It's powerful. Digital
technology can get information, store information, do calculations and connect
people in new ways.
Digital technology can do so many amazing things for the learning
process, but it can't be human.
The Human Touch in Education
When you really think back about your best teachers, they were the ones
who connected with you. They might have been classroom teachers, your sports
coache, parents, or principals. They patted you on the back, knew your name,
and made jokes with you. They were human beings offering encouragement and
building confidence, saying things like, "I know you can do this. Come
on."
And this is one way in which the world hasn't changed: teaching is still
the most important job.
To me, there is nothing more exciting, fulfilling, and wonderful than
watching a kid finally grasp a concept, then take the information and use it in
the real world.
Teachers make this happen. Teachers motivate. Teachers synthesize
information to help students understand. Teachers listen, coach, and mentor.
Teachers matter.
On behalf of the entire management and team at Dhanalakshmi College of
Engineering, let me say - Thank
you, teachers!
Thank You Sir... Teachers really matter.... Passion towards teaching and learning would be the ingredients without which teaching becomes tasteless...
