Teachers teach students. However, does it go the other way round, too? Do teachers learn from students? Here are opinions from some teachers:<\/p>\n
\u201cDon’t try to fix the students; we need to fix ourselves first. A good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student better. Our students\u2019 failure is our failure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teachers are defined as a role model, a path to enlightenment, and the embodiment of knowledge. Someone you bow to just as you bow to god. A lot has been said about teachers and teaching as a profession \u2013 they mold young minds to create a better future. Therefore, they must work with a sense of responsibility and respect. Indian culture, in particular, has always revered teachers, placing them alongside, if not higher than, parents.<\/p>\n
However, a fact that we often overlook is that teachers are , ultimately, students themselves. While their students may go on and become someone or the other, the teacher remains a learner and never really stops learning. When we look around, we find several instances of how a teacher learns from a student:<\/p>\n
A teacher’s role is to acquire more knowledge than what the students already know. But more importantly, it is to help students achieve their true potential.<\/p>\n
There will be instances where teachers meet kids who have superior intellect, if not knowledge. Teachers should make use of such opportunities to go back to their basics and re-learn tough subjects.<\/p>\n
In short, teachers spend time learning from experience.<\/p>\n
Students who have a healthy rapport with their teachers have a greater chance of success. An ideal student-teacher relationship must be based on mutual cooperation, trust, understanding, and a little bit of firmness, too.<\/p>\n
