Role play

During school days, Teacher’s Day was indeed very special. We had a tradition of senior students going to junior classes and doing role play of our teachers. That one opportunity to teach and to step into their shoes was special and to a large extent sensitised us pertaining to the grand role of teachers in shaping the overall discourse.

Looking back now, I feel, we need that tradition to spread every where. We need to graduate into a society where becoming a teacher should be a conscious choice made by individuals and the incentives should be top notch. It should not be a forced last resort. We need the best motivated minds, to nurture our future, to play that role. Happy Teacher’s Day.
