My Ideal School

My Ideal School: The TEACHER

            Merriam Webster dictionary define school as an institution for the teaching of children and source of knowledge. In layman term a school is the second home, this is where a child learn to read, write and count. Talents are enhanced in school, a place to make friends and experience the things we can’t learn at home. A school is an institution that comprises teachers, students, staff, and administration. Whenever we heard about the word “school” the first thing that might come in our minds is the word “TEACHER” and that is the focus of this journal.

            Being a teacher is not necessarily having a bachelor’s degree, License examination, Master’s degree and Doctor’s degree, though it is required to be a professional teacher but sometimes all knowledge we learned are useless if we don’t have a heart and passion in it.  “Teaching is the noblest profession in the world” when talking about teachers, this phrase comes out. Of all profession why is it teaching is the only profession that is given the prestige of being noble? Simply because, teachers don’t get a lot in teaching, it is true, and unlike other professions in teaching you won’t be able to be rich in terms on money. The only treasures that a teacher can have are the love of his students with billion hugs and kisses, million thank you, thousand I love you and hundreds of smiles. Whenever a teacher hears a child read the alphabets and counts the numbers, all the hard work is worthy. To fill the empty innocent minds of students with knowledge and wisdom and to be able to see his students learn something at the end of the school year is the biggest pay checks of a teacher that neither a fancy car nor a condominium unit can replace.

            The real requirement for a teacher is not really the diploma but a heart that cares because an intelligent teacher teaches from the book but an effective teacher inspires from the heart.
