I certainly couldnt digest this!
I got to know that there is a school (could be more)in Delhi which has taken AWAY the teacher's chair from the classroom. And you know why? Because now the teachers are getting higher salary (because of the pay commission) and THEREFORE they shouldnt be sitting down and wasting time! Can you believe it? And here I thought that finally the value of a teacher has been acknowledged. This is a person who has the power to significantly shape the future of our country and what respect is being shown to them! This just shows the school(s) actually think that they are been forced to pay the teachers more than they deserve. Isnt it sad?

well this just shows how the management of the schools are disheartened that they are not able to make profits which they actually aim at, by having to pay more.....
ReplyDeleteI know a school too that takes pride in 'no chair for the teacher'
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's the way teachers are required to defer before the principal....and say yes-yes to everything in low, timid voices.
An education system that infantilises and insults the teachers' dignity isn't going to do very much for the students, unfortunately.
On a positive note, my 4 year old daughter's ambition for the day is to grow up and become a teacher who does not scold kids.

well i m from the profession and i very well understand n bear the brunt of this no chair policy. and most of the private schools are gradually taking this up....
ReplyDeletei see it as a complete lost of trust on the teacher if the management needs to move out chairs...as if teachers in the classroom are wasting time n not doing their duties properly...huh!!
the day the teachers start revolting back, these managements will have to run to hide their ******.
its sheer mockery of the so called 'noble profession'
