~~ Happy Teachers' Day ~~

A Teacher for All Seasons

A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.

A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.

A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.

A teacher is like Winter,
While it's snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.

Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You're a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!

😃 Happy Teachers Day 😃

I would like to bore you further with one incident which happend in my 10th std pre-final maths exam.

I always had a tendency to do an extra problem even if there was a choice question...so that even if one goes wrong, I would get marks for the extra question attempted and the wrong question would be ignored in the 'choice'.

In my 10th Std pre-final exam (the one conducted by the school before the board exams) I wrote a formula for 'equation of a line using 2 sets of co-ordinates' wrong. I interchanged the x and y in the formula

(y-y1) = ((y2-y1)/(x2-x1)) * (x-x1). My LHS had (x-x1) and so on.

This was obviously wrong. This was actually an extra question which I had attempted, and my other answers were all right. My teacher cut marks for this. When we got our results, I was pissed off...I went to the staff room and created a scene...fought for those 5 marks. My maths teacher Mrs Meenakshi refused to budge. She said that she was doing this so that I don't forget this formula in my life! I was very angry for a few days. But when a similar question came in the board exam, I remembered the formula perfectly and then realised how right my teacher was! Look, even after all these years, I remember that formula by-heart. Wonder where my teacher is...she has retired from my school...wish I could meet her some day...😊

Sorry to bore you all ...😳
