The Essential Teacher

Now a days, parents are so busy that they can’t give time for their children. They are busy in their duty but don’t try to think even about their child’s study, weak areas & regularity in studies. Hey have no time even to recognize the peer mates of their child. Instead they think that, ‘I have given all responsibilities to the teachers in the school as I am paying for it’. So also children do not give much importance to their parent’s words rather they follow their teachers. They copy every work of their teachers. That’s why teacher’s role is very essential now a days.

Teacher’s most important duty is to think about the child’s development in every field. He should plan before every activity for the children , even a class. H e should also take individual importance to the child. He should be completely ego less.

Followings are some essential requirements of the teacher:
