Teaching a service or a profession?

Jun 02, 2009

I wonder whether teaching is a service or just a profession to earn money….

For me everyday starts with hot coffee and Newspapers.I usually read The Hindu and Times of India.Last week I was shocked to see a news…. Guess what? Its a 17 year old girl in her XII standard died in school due to severe asthma attack.

Staff reports say that the student suffered an asthma attack while she was attending a class.The school authorities delayed in taking the girl to the hospital. And the medical facilities in the school were not adequate to give first aid.

According to the sources,When the girl complained of her breathlessness,the school authorities instead of calling for an ambulance,instead called to her parents and waited for them to come.When they arrived she was taken to hospital and she was reported dead. Parents claim that why the school authorities waited until a car arrived from her house.

This happened last Tuesday.

Then again this week one boy drowned in swimming pool and died.Once again lack of good coach and various facilities were the primary reasons.It took place in Chennai and the coach was arrested.

And today I was really shocked to see a 10 year old girl died in school due to severe punishment.This took place somewhere near Calcutta.

According to sources, The teacher punished the girl with duster for making a mistake in her Bengali lessons.The girl vomited four times and when taken to hospital,she was found dead.

Three children dead in two weeks time.This is due to negligence of teachers,coach and lack of facilities. I wonder whether teachers work only for money and income, neglecting child’s safety and future.

I personally feel schools are no more a safe place for childrens. Everyone used to say Mother,Father,Guru,God(MATHA PITHA GURU DEIVAM).Does the teachers still hold a place ahead of god?Are they still eligible for the position ahead of god? I dont think so…..
