Teachers please be mindful...

It is an era where teachers have to be more mindful of their students. An era where both parents are working/ climbing the social and career ladder. Teachers have more responsibility towards students especially at the school level.

As a class teacher/subject teacher we must be aware, be mindful of the students in our class.
Do we stop to observe them?
Are we concerned when they are absent from school?
Are we concerened about their eating habits?
Are we taking note of their hygiene and turn out? (It is not just the responsibility of the Physical department)
Do we care to know about their likes/dislikes/music/games/latest fads?
Do we observe any changes in emotion/action/behaviour ?

Oh Yes teachers we have a lot to do. It is not enough if we merely teach and exit from the class? Pursuing homework and assignments is only a miniscule in our teaching arena.

Each child needs a champion. Let us each one of us be 'there', 'be the champ' for our students.
