'''                      TEACHER The low profile job

Just after the hectic day schedule on reaching home after getting fresh I slipped in to the sofa scanning the channels in the TV.My mind stopped me at a channel airing an popular Telugu movie which was a huge hit due to its youth formula and college backdrop. The scene in the movie dragged my attention where in the students in the class room were playing pranks on the lecturer. The scene shows how well the film fraternity can influence the people, it shows a student commenting on the lecturer that the spelling mistake in his notes could not be projected in a guide which he follows.The scene also shows the students passing comments on the lecturer and arguing with him on a baseless point. Getting irritated and disappointed to the directors choice of entertainment by projecting lecturers as a piece of fun I moved on to the other channels. Suddenly a scene in a mythological film aired by a channel dragged my attention it shows an age old Educational system where in the prince'and brahmins study in a residential atmosphere in the forest.It also shows how well the students show their curiosity to know a topic and how well they serve their Teacher. Slowly my memory slips down to the memory lane bringing in the images of my childhood and college days. I've done my schooling at two places. The primary schooling was in Vijayawada and High schooling was from Hyderabad. During my schooling never we dared to comment on our teachers always we used to utilise our teachers potential for improving our skills. Though few teachers used to maintain distance from the students, still few teachers used to be really helpful and free with us. Even those who used to be strict in terms of guidance they used to be real supportive. I've done my 10+2 which we generally call as intermediate from Tetrahedron college. I have taken Life sciences group.As the college gave more importance to all round academic developement with well experienced staff we used to concentrate more on studies and get our doubts clarified with the faculty. The faculty used to be very cooperative and we used to ask our doubts getting ourselves clear clarity about what we are asking. The faculty used to clarify each and every doubt of ours with great clarity. We used to respect them all and I never had an incident of the faculty getting irritated or we getting bored with them. The teachers of my schooling and college days have made a great mark on my mind and I got decided that I should also get in to this field in future so that I serve people by providing knowledge. One of my school teacher who used to handle Telugu class used even impart spirituality in us and also used to teach the benifits of meditation. She has influenced me a lot in taking up teaching field.

I have done my Masters from Kakatiya university in Organic chemistry. Just 5 months of completion of my course I have entered in to teaching by joining in a reputed School in Hyderabad which handles IIT foundation. I have joined in the institution as an IIT chemistry faculty.Soon an year and half after that institution I have entered in to an well reputed corporate college in Rajahmundry. From here I could observe and taste the worst side of the teaching field.

The privatisation of education of late in Andhra Pradesh has changed to worse. IN order to attract more students the corporate institutions have deviced more worse methods like door to door campaigning. In this part of attracting the students first so called PROS do the ground work of gathering addresses of the students and then next comes the role of the lecturer who till now was confined to the class room has to go to the students home and explain about why h he/she should opt for the institution than the other reputed institution in the market.Due to this the lecturer has almost become an piece of fun for the parents and student. The respect for the lecturer in the students has almost vanished due to the door to door campaigning by the teaching staff. They never care the teachers in any way and they consider these teachers, who were helpless in the hands of management, as beggers.

Added to this changed situation the films have also got major role played in the unruly behaviour of students. The so called youth films always potray the lecturer or teacher as a cameo and put all fun centered around them in the name of comedy.

Now comes the next half, the respect and honour given to a teacher in society. People who take teaching profession are looked down upon in society. As far as my state is concerned here the teacher is less respected in society. He is rather considered to be a man with less awareness. The parents who have their son working as a teacher never tries to mention about him as they feel it will lower thier status. Those who wanted give thier daughter for marriage would never preffer a lecturer as thier son-in-law. A girl always finds herself better placed if she marries a IT proffesional rather than a Lecturer .Should we say this people are less aware and less educated. All of them have very good education and rather more aware but why this low impression on a lecturer that is an unanswered question. Always I question myself and also those who give advices of choosing some other better proffession then this, what if there were no teacher on earth. Where do these people who have got good educational background and good jobs with lucrative pay would stand in that situation with teacher less schools.

It would rather appear as an night mare but still they would never love those who take this proffession to reasons better known to them. But with no one to teach there will be no one to enjoy this posts too. Is that not true. Should we say this people are ignorant or fools. This should be answered only by those I am infact clue less about their school of thought.

But I could only say one thing. If I am into teaching I want to be in to it totally. I love teaching the children. But the feeling of seeing our own student respecting us on the way when he is in a good position is more valuable then the crores and that feeling is only known to a teacher. That feeling of paving a better way to an individual and presenting a good citizen to the nation can be experienced only by a teacher. At that experience ,the other things appear ,rather very small.
