Gone are the days where the word 'Teacher' used to remind us of an old, geeky - personality with books in one hand and & a stick in the other. Particularly those 'drilling stares'.. 😁
New - age teachers are young achievers of their times. They're composed of new pedagogical techniques, sharp minds, competency, divergent thinking, flexible understanding & analyzing approaches.
Most of them believe in having a friendly atmosphere, beyond the conventional norms of strictness & rigidity. They're well -versed in the act of balancing knowledge with fun, discipline with spontaneity & competency with capacity.
And a new trend of this era's teacher-student relationship sees befriending themselves on social media. Well, there are simple as well as not-so-simple rules of this relationship to abide by; especially for adult students - those who express their gratitude by becoming too pally with their teachers.
Most of the teachers then find it difficult to draw the line,with such over - friendly student of theirs.
While some teachers feel that social media helps to connect with their otherwise reclusive students, diminishing the line of hesitance, others say, it also demean the line of respect & regard, with students entering into their personal sphere.
The platform should be used to share study- related content & to most extent, the issues of life in which students need the right advice.
Obviously, there are other ways to express your love for your teacher, than writing cheesy & personal comments on every picture they upload.
Both teacher & student need to maintain the integrity & purpose of this bond in every possible situation.
P.S. "HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY"
