Hats off to Teachers

Hats off to Teachers
Dear Capable person,

Greetings,

Yes, I respect my Master for what he has given and in return he only got the satisfaction.

From A School Principal's speech at a graduation…

He said "Doctor wants his child to become a doctor…

Engineer wants his child to become engineer…

Businessman wants his ward to become CEO…

BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them..!!!!

Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE"

Very sad but that's the truth…!!!

The dinner guests were sitting around the table…

discussing life.

One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued,

"What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life

was to become a teacher?"

To stress his point he said to another guest; "You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be

honest. What do you make?"

Teacher Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, "You

want to know what I make?" (She paused for a second, then began...)

"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.

I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor winner.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make

them sit for 5 min. without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental."

"You want to know what I make? (She paused again and looked at each and every

person at the table)

I make kids wonder.

I make them question.

I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

I teach them how to write and then I make them write. Keyboarding isn't

everything.

I make them read, read, read.

I make them show all their work in math. They use their God given brain, not the

man-made calculator.

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about

English while preserving their unique cultural identity.

I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they

were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life."

(Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)

"Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't

everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are

ignorant. You want to know what I make?"

"I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES, EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO

BECOME CEO's, AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS…"

"What do you make Mr. CEO?"

His jaw dropped; he went silent.

THIS IS WORTH SENDING TO EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW…
