Teachers’ Day QuotesTeachers - Teaching is a way of imparting knowledge. For any individual, learning begins from the stage of infancy. Teaching does not necessarily start in schools. What is good or bad, what to do and not to do, what is right or wrong is taught by parents even before an individual learns to speak. All the basic activities like standing up, walking, drinking or eating, playing are taught by parents or family members. As the age progresses, kids enter from the stage of infancy to childhood when they cross the threshold of their homes to step into a systematic environment called “school”. In the class room, the tiny tots get to see a totally different ambience comprising of kids of the same age who are introduced with the practice of reading, writing, reciting, memorising and reproducing the essentials of what was taught to them by teachers in the most simple ways. Different facades of the world around them are introduced to them and the process of teaching and learning gets more regular and rigorous with each passing year. Students get good exposure to the complexities of the world and life.
