DUTY AWARENESS TIPS: *The duty of a teacher is not just transfer of knowledge to the students. He is invisible, precious all in one. He is advisor to the seeker, great booster to the weak, character builder to the characterless, dependable evaluator, friend for needy, guide for the doubt seekers, healer for the insecured, inspirer for the creative, judge of their growth, influencing leader, great motivator, right nurturer, second parent, real role model, supporter, target fixer and high visionary. * The biggest mistake is to assume that you know everything. The task of education is not merely that of turning out first-rate technicians and scientists, but even more urgently and basically, it is the task of training good men and women. *We must strive to make children learn to prefer co-operative effort, to self-seeking competition, joy of creative work to possessive happiness. *Motivation had to become an effect and not a cause. When teachers do all thinking and speaking, it cuts the students off from 'lateral thinking' which is the most important skill, that is necessary for learning. * Learn to judge when children cannot proceed further. *Let us preach to children the importance of non-violence, tolerance and simple-life. *A teacher who has a genuine love for students, can deal with many problems, which even intelligence and psychological insight may not be able to solve.
