Ah... KIDS!!!

A teacher stormed into the staffroom, complaining and cursing as she slammed her books onto her table. Obviously, she was infuriated. The kids in her class must have caused her extreme anger. After her anger subsided, she asked herself if it is worth her effort to continue teaching those brats. This question got me thinking as well. Is it worthwhile teaching kids?

By looking at it, the word 'teach' should not be the focus. Basically teaching is not effective until a child is influence with the wisdom gain from lessons, may it be for the good or for the bad. Therefore, with this shift in focus, it is an extreme honour for someone to have an opportunity to influence kids in their growing years. Anyone, may it be a school teacher, a student leader, a religious leader, a coach, a relative or even a parent, who is given the honour to instil a rightful influence into a kid should treasure the opportunity. This may be the single most important contribution anyone can have for the betterment of humankind. Do you agree? Please comment...
