Happy Teacher’s Day: “I Am So Cool I Bullied My Teacher on Zoom Class”
“GururBrahma GururVishnu GururDevo Maheshwara; Guru Sakshat ParaBrahma Tasmai Shree Guruve Namah” You might have heard this shlok it means “A teacher is given equal status to that of the Tridev.” But not anymore. I believe teaching is the most underrated profession as we fail to see the impact of it on our lives and the value it provides. Kids carry what they are taught at a young age throughout the rest of their lives.
I was quite mean to my Teachers (not all) in school and even in the college, not just me, we all hate our teachers, let’s accept it. Teachers get less respect and the fun fact is they know it. And especially these days when we all are in lockdown because someone in china ate bat.
Nowadays, they are working very hard as the teaching pattern has changed during the pandemic. The classroom shifted to online learning since schools continue to remain shut. It’s a struggle for both the students as well as the teachers. Students like me don’t understand half of the lessons even in the real classroom, and teacher on a computer screen, it’s a real challenge. Teachers may be our mentor but when it comes to technology they are a newbie. But how we (students) are treating them is disheartening.
If a teacher beats a child, it is an offense and also punishable under section 323 of IPC but is there any punishment for students who are logging in with fake names i.e. Mia khalifa, sunny leone, and sheila ki jawani??
This new normal comes with new opportunities for students to bully their (respected) teachers. Online classes are turning out to be a nightmare for teachers indeed, from smoking amid zoom class to sleeping students, playing abusive videos, and bullying — online classes are a nightmare for teachers. YouTube is flooded with videos of “online classes gone wrong.”
However, many of them are Exploring New Ways of Teaching during Lockdown. Remember that Chemistry teacher’s ‘jugaad. She shared a video that shows her writing on a chalkboard while she gives her lesson. For her student to see the chalkboard clearly, the teacher—who did not have a tripod—came up with a ‘jugaad’ or a hack.
Recently, A photo of a teacher’s jugaad to use a refrigerator tray to make online classes easier for her students has won the Internet.
Anyways (HAPPY) Teacher’s day.
