I remember very clearly that I hated my school! It was very posh school, but the attitude of teachers towards their pupils and other way around was dreadful. There was no mutual respect. I had a feeling that most of the teachers hated their jobs and hated children all together. These people should have never become teachers! I think that you need to be blessed to be a teacher! This profession comes from the heart! You just have to love it and be extremely passionate about what you are doing! Because very often the future of the children that you are teaching depends on how and what you are teaching them. It is a huge responsibility!
A couple of weeks ago I received a small order from a teacher in Singapore. God only knows how she found me! She wanted me to illustrate a couple of sentences for her that went at the end of the set of notes for her students. And I thought to myself - here is a REAL teacher! A person who cares! Who wants to make the education fun! She didn't have to write this note (which is very funny by the way) and she most definitely didn't have to find and pay an illustrator to draw pictures for her text. But she cares!!! And I admire and respect this in every profession, but teaching especially!!!
And here is this little text that I had to illustrate!
I wish I had more teachers who would come up with such ideas when I was a child!

very creative
ReplyDeleteНе все учителя конечно ненавидят детей, но и творчества и креатива от них не дождешься...есть программа они ей следуют. Так положено! у нее конспекты написаны и она будет учить по ним из года в год...зачем напрягаться что то выдумывать??? Редко кто способен на творчество в работе. Тем детям очень повезло, кого учит та учительница. Просто поздравляю!
ReplyDeleteДаже если человек учит по программе, он должен гореть этим! Потому что его страсть и интерес к предмету передается детям, точно так же как детям передается его безразличие или неприязнь
Deletethis is awesome and you are right, it is great when you meet nice and great teachers! I wish you had better luck with yours :\
ReplyDeleteme too!!!
DeleteThis is a great post, and I wish I had such a passionate teacher when I was a child! Dear Elina, I followed your blog for a while, and I really love it, your illustrations are great, and your postcards really beautiful (by the way, do you send to Italy as well?)! Have a nice day. Giorgia
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Giorgia! And yes, I send my postcards all over the world!
DeleteHow lucky she is to have found you, I think. Your illustration for this is great, and looks like it will be very effective! I agree, too, about teachers. The good ones are fantastic, and the bad ones should all be doing something else.
