Teaching is a profession that forms the foundation of all the other professions. Without the learning acquired from teachers, no one can be developed into respectable professionals like doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers and many others.
Education can be a head game…an affair of the mind. But teaching is an affair of the heart. If you are like me, you probably can think of one or two teachers in your lifetime that have changed how you view yourself and the world, and thus, helped change your future. Those ‘magicians’ are the ones that challenge us; encourage us to dream and to achieve.
A good teacher is one who make his/her students learn spontaneously, unconsciously and willingly with no strings attached. Teaching that is done sincerely from the heart is able to touch the learners in a way that books cannot do in any way. I have touched on some of attributes of a good teacher and the critical role he/she plays in a child's learning journey in an earlier blogpost, A good teacher can make a difference to a child's learning.

I am especially grateful that my son has a few very dedicated teachers who really spend a lot of time and effort to prepare him for the coming PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination) exams.
Let us all pay tributes to our teachers who have once imparted their knowledge and skills to us with all their hearts and soul which makes us the useful individuals we are today!
