Teaching

On this page, there will be some of my perspectives of the best domain to be studied and the best career in the world. It is about teaching.

To some people, teaching is just a way to make money or to spend time and have a job. However, teaching goes beyond that. Teaching has a deep meaning especially that a whole generation depends on a teacher every year and every minute. Teaching means forming the future, not in the sense of choosing for the younger ones how their future will be, but in the sense of paving the way for lots of tiny hands in order to choose the future they dream of. Teaching is so much more than using a book and a piece of chalk; it is to use different methods, strategies, instruments, tools, materials, and real life objects and examples to make learning enjoyable, beneficial, and meaningful and authentic. The great part about teaching is that when teachers practice teaching, they learn at the same time. And that is where the essence of teaching lies; you teach others, you teach yourself, and others teach you too. Teaching and learning are two faces of the same coin. They always come together in one package.

A week ago, an experienced person was telling me that teaching doesn't truly matter, and that education is always at the bottom of the pyramid. He meant that it is always under everything in life. I said: " Of course it is at the bottom.. because there is no pyramid without a well structured base." He was just joking because he is a teacher himself and he loves his job. However, this takes me to a lot of other people who think this way, and they will not be joking when they say that education is the least important thing in life. Education, teaching and learning are the most noble practices one can strive for; everything starts with teaching even when it's not about going to schools or attending any learning program. A little girl learns how to prepare her bed by watching her parents, a boy learns how to drive a car by asking his parents to teach him, a cashier learns how to do Math through experience and practice, a person learns how to read, write, speak, and listen by applying all these skills in real life. And of course, one of the roles of educators is to provide more of such experiences to facilitate learning.The point is that education is the base of everything, and teaching is a noble career that prepares and leads everyone toward the better. Everything begins with education.. Everything!
