Diamonds and stones

Thursdays and Mondays see the maximum number of absentees in my class. People find various reasons (throat check up, eye checkup, have to go to the dentist, dermatology treatment, BONE CHECKUP!! etc etc.) so that they don't have to sit through 7 hours of theory classes(7 hours..sounds scary right? very scary..). Teachers find all the more reasons to make sure they come all the periods. Not a single one is left free. At the most, I manage to remain conscious for an hour. after which I simply.. doze, till the siren sounds for break.

The first period starts and the lecturer comes. And my classmates who read this wont fail to identify him. The moment he started talking we knew.. arrears in this subject for sure. And as days went by we confirmed that it was no good listening to the class. y? here is a small incident that happened during his class that will be good enough an answer.

As usual he came in, talked something we dint understand and started drawing circuit diagrams on the board. we were totally utterly annoyed with his teaching that we all started talking . The noise increased and at one point he banged the duster on the blackboard (this act of his annoys us the most..) and he shouted something like "have doubt?", at least that's what i think he said (cant understand a word of what he talks!!). and my friend yelled back " JUST TWO! WHAT LANGUAGE ARE YOU SPEAKING AND WHICH SUBJECT ARE YOU TEACHING??!!" and he couldn't tell who said that coz the laughter that erupted after that deafened him.

Honestly, it still amazes me on what basis they selected him as a teacher. And we have many reasons why they should chuck him out like they chuck us out when we do something against the rules.

1. he doesn't know the subject he teaches. he doesnt remember what comes after what. he just stands there on the Dias, blinks and scratches his ear n says"forgot".

2. he doesnt know maths and doesnt do any of the derivations correctly.

3. his circuit diagrams on the board are so minuscle that even those of us sitting in the first bench cant make out what the hell he'z drooled on the board.

4. and the english he speaks.. dunno where he learnt to speak like that.. havent understood a word of it till now..

5. he pronounces assume as "ashume" and writes the same on the board and logarithmic as "logairthmic" and writes the same on the board.

6. we are forgetting the Queen's language listening to him.

My friend is so damn sure that he takes alcohol every morning before he starts teaching. "thats why he talks like that, u know. he'z in a state of confusion mixed with calmness, the perfect and right explanation for not being able to draw diagrams and remember derivations and theory!.", says my friend and i have to say, many agree with her.

If such people teach us, how do they expect the students not to listen to their i pods or comment rudely?? People like him are the sole reason for us students developing extraordinary skills of sarcasm, commentary and rudeness.

BUT, there are a few teachers who make us listen to them with undivided attention and we develop a bond that lasts forever.. diamonds among the stones.. they are those who keep us going through the rest of the day with their fun filled talk and understanding nature.. says my friend, " a teacher is the one who understands his/her students. anyone who doesnt give a damn to what they feel or think are just there for the money they get to earn and not for the actual purpose of teaching. people like them dont deserve to be treated with the respect that teachers should be coz they are clearly not one." u can count on what she says, her parents are lecturers.

Hats off to our teachers who are holding a special place in our hearts and minds for their unforgettable teaching methods.. and above all for being more than just teachers to us.. we love you for being our good friends and sharing all the fun we had and are having.. :)
