"Even if I were born again, I would still be a teacher": Memories that touched teachers
During her 26-year pedagogical career, the teacher has worked with many students. However, an event involving one student has remained specially preserved in her memory.
"One of my students could not even distinguish colors. I sat with him individually for a week and taught him to recognize colors. I did everything I could for the child's learning. But his parents came and said, 'You are being too strict with my son,' 'You have scared my son.' This was very hard for me. Because until then, in 26 years, I had never encountered such a student or such parents."
This situation even forced her to think about giving up her profession for a while. But her love for children and loyalty to her profession prevailed. Today, the teacher still emphasizes the importance of understanding between parents and teachers.
"We dedicate more love and more time than we give to our own children to other people's children," she says.
For a teacher, it is not only the child's academic performance that is important, but also the environment in which they are growing up. According to the interviewed teacher, sometimes behind a good, polite, and smart child, an unhealthy family environment and fear can be hidden.
"There are such situations: children who did not grow up in a healthy environment are encountered. Every single child has the right to grow up in a healthy environment and to use every opportunity. The child is good, polite, smart, but their environment is not healthy. They are growing up in this environment, but they have fear. It is necessary to eliminate this fear and help the child. I have talked with the child themselves about their family. I asked, 'Does anyone beat you, does anyone hurt you?' When I see such children, I feel like crying. Children need to be supported, they need to be listened to. One must always be by the child's side," says the teacher.
According to the teacher, one of the hardest aspects of teaching is that some parents place the responsibility for their child's upbringing and education entirely on the teacher. This, from time to time, causes misunderstandings.
