come down to the level of the student and transfer

his soul to the students soul, hear through the

Be good in the subject.

Give good time to cover the topic, not rush through in the

end.

Be a good communicator with loud and clear voice to keep

the attention of the class.

Should know which topic needs repetition andreinforcement.

Be graceful enough to accept the fact that the question put

by the student cannot be answered at that movement.

Make it a point to reply in the subsequent class.

Lead and guide the students towards finding the answer

than giving them the answer.

Stimulate the student to think. Help the student to help

themselves

A builder builta temple,

He wroughtit with care and skill,

Pillars and groins and arches,

Were fashioned to meet his will

And men said when they sawits beauty:

It shall never know decay,

Greatis thy skill, O, builder,

Thy fame shall endure foraye.

TheBuilder

A teacher builta temple,

She wroughtwith skill and care,

Forming each pillarwith patience,

Laying each stone with prayer.

None praised her unceasing efforts,

None knew of the wonderous plan,

For the temple the teacher built

Was unseen by the eyes of man.


29/30

Gone is the builders temple,

Crumbled into dust,

Pillars and groins and arches,

Food for consuming rust.

But the temple the teacher built

Shall endure while the ages roll,

For the beautiful unseen temple

Was the childs immortal soul.

an old favourite written probably by an unknown student.
