Today is Teacher's Day. A profession carried out from the dignity of knowledge as an engine to transform lives. In other words, training is the best legacy that a human being can have. The best instrument to transform your environment. However, in today's society, teachers don't get the recognition they really deserve. In some cases, they are even unauthorized as shown by the campaign of the strike of duties. Many parents do not develop empathy regarding what it means to teach and motivate a large group.
Happy Teacher's Day
Not all teachers are equally excellent, but this is true in all professions. It is also worth mentioning as a negative aspect the fact that on some occasions, there is a greater motivation for being a civil servant than for the teaching itself. And yet the reality is that in schools, institutes, vocational training centers and universities there are little miracles every day. Difficulties that are overcome, acquisition of new knowledge and training for the future. And this is thanks, mainly, to those great teachers who are great not only for their knowledge but also for a way of being that inspires values of self-improvement.
Teachers spread the illusion for knowledge from an early age. They put the seed of curiosity through pedagogies that go beyond the classroom as it shows the power of field trips. Teachers must be referents in a society that currently does not give them their place. The teacher is a reference of authority over which many parents currently overload too many responsibilities.
El Teacher's Day it is a collective celebration since it involves us all in some way. We have all been students. We all keep in our memory the name of a teacher who helped us discover our professional path even from our first years of life. Teachers who are synonymous with self-esteem and hope. Knowledge is the root of a better and freer society. Children are not the future, they are now.
And the teachers, with their daily work, manage to awaken the illusion for knowledge, they give tools to acquire study habits, they foster a love for reading, they propose dynamics for teamwork and they accompany with their infinite patience.
True teachers believe unconditionally in students. They are aware that each human being is unique and unrepeatable. Therefore, they encourage attention to diversity.
