Wikipedia defines the term ‘teacher’ as follows: “A teacher, also called a schoolteacher or formally an educator, is a person who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue, via the practice of teaching.”
A good teacher goes above and beyond teaching.
They become an integral part of one’s life, not just a passing cloud.
Good teachers play a crucial role in shaping who we are.
More than teaching what is prescribed in the syllabus, good teachers teach about life values.
They teach in an engaging way, making sure one understands the concepts thoroughly.
They teach about what is morally right and what is wrong.
In this sense, they become one’s mentor.
They become our faithful guides and companions.
A good teacher is thus akin to a guardian angel.
