You all may be familiar with the proverb that "we all are students throughout our life." I have written an article, "An Ideal Guru" an year ago. Since I respect the teaching profession and also because of my good memorable experience, I wrote that article with pride. I was also in a great arrogance in getting the best teachers not only in my academic life but also in my real life. Now I've completed my PG in Government Engineering College, Wayanad.
GEC Wayanad... This is the field from where I learned "what not to be...how not to be...." Years ago, I believed that a great teacher is the one who make the classroom a playground and who give little homework. My perspective changes as years pass. Now I believe that a teacher along with maintaining his/her professionalism, should definitely have a great character, behavior and attitude. Moreover, he/she should be a good listener.
I joined in GECW on September 2014. On the very first day, I met many guest faculties. In the Computer Science dept., there were only a few permanent staffs and the majority were guest faculties. I met my classmates and they all were talking about a man. Some of them said he is a rude man, some of them said he is very strict in academic matters and so on. I heard all those comments and eagerly waited to see him. When I saw him, I was surprised. He seems to be a silent cool hoar man. But he was not mingling with the co-staffs. Days passed and I came to know the real man who is pitiless and adamant.
The first year was really calm. Then during the second year, the project starts and he assigned guides for each student. Unfortunately, my guide got a job in IBM and hence I too came under his guidance. He was actually a man with such a stupid sense. He was totally unfit for the teaching profession.
When an year starts, he will be on leave from the very first month of January to November. Then he will be appearing on December with lots and lots of stupid rubbish questions and orders. His main enemies were the married students. It may be because his married life is an utter flop. I think so. Whenever he is present in the college, his only working day is Sunday. His working hours on all remaining days are from 6:30 pm to 10 pm. He is interested in documentation works rather than doing the real project work. He will prepare the headings under each session in thesis without knowing what the work is about. He will sign in a document only if we mail him a request letter. The letter should always be ended with adulatory words. He wants all his students to be in Kailasa leading a spiritual life. He wants the students to prepare 1001 documents all with the same content. He always contacts his students during the time period between 12 am-3 am. Most of the guest faculties used to hide in their cabins as lambs hide from lion in a dense forest. Even though all the staffs (including the Principal) knew that this man is on the wrong track, they all were silent due to his unmanageable character.
Yet in all these bitter experience, I am thankful to this institution only because of giving me an experience in teaching and enriched my life with a few good friends. The one and only time that I enjoyed my PG life is the time spent with my friends. At hostel...at mess...at basheerka's tea shop...taking selfies and all.
Teaching is the most rewarding job. Teachers are our nation builders-the strength of every profession in our country grows out of the knowledge and skills that teachers help to instill in children. It takes heart, commitment and passion. The greatest achievement of a teacher is to be rounded with his/her students who are all thankful for him/her to be their greatest teacher ever. A teacher should never mix up their personal problem with professional act. Thus a teacher must be a boon to their students rather than a bane.
