TEACHERS MATTER…!

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!
