All over the world teachers are honoured on this
special day -dedicated to those amazing people we call teachers.
A teachers job is one of educator, actor, artist, innovator, admonisher, adviser, coach, confidant, psychologist,
nursemaid, consultant, counselor, , doctor,
educationist, guide, , instructor, ,
mentor, monitor, nose wiper, orienter, trainer, tutor| and in fact I could
spend countless minutes writing about the role of the teacher.
How many times I
have got a lump in my throat watching the tenderness, the dedication of some
teachers. How often I have watched as
teachers try and manage their emotions, their reactions and themselves in the
classroom.
How often have we
seen a teacher spend hours trying to make a lesson wonderful and exciting for
the students only to have it bomb and fall flat – how often have you as a
teacher glowed with pleasure and pride when a class is having a great time and YOU know you have facilitated learning
How wonderful have
YOU as a teacher felt when the light
of recognition lights up in a Childs eyes and you know you have reached him
Teachers – without the teachers what would our world be? – Those
in classrooms on sports fields, on stages.
Those teachers
everywhere, in everyday life – the people who are our teachers in this
classroom, called life.
Here’s to those who have taught us in so many ways – in
so many places and so many times and they didn’t even know
We celebrate you –
the teachers

A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson.
John Henrik Clarke
