Unbaked Pichers

 My student Radha said, "School teaching is a very hard job. Even the salary structure is also not good, but Madam, you still keep a very strong opinion that a teaching job is most suitable  for me." 

I said, "My student, my parents-in-law are old and have 45 years of married life together. The pattern of their fights that I observe is always the same. They always try to change each other, which seems impossible. Both have individual personalities."

I further said"Out of love and concern about  loved one's health and safety issues, I have seen more and more people like my in-laws who tend to change their dear ones.  However, in this process, they forget their originality. They try to impose their wishes and habits on their loved ones, which sometimes is suffocating for them."

Friends, but in our teaching job, we teachers get the opportunity to inculcate good habits in our children/students by practicing good habits ourselves. We can teach them the right things when they are children. It's such a joy to make changes  in unbaked pitchers-our students

 The pitcher that is already baked(adults) will break if we try to change its shape.

We teachers, find a lot of things that could be improved in society. But it is very hard for us(teachers)to change parents, spouses, neighbors, colleagues, because they are baked, solid, and hard.

In the process of teaching, we teachers bring# positive changes in ourselves also. We learn to ignore things and let others live how they want. Sometimes, if the need arises, we maintain a distance from them to suppress unnecessary conflicts.

Moral of the story-Education is a process and not product. We teachers, are an important part of education. Teachers are always involved with unbaked pitchers(students), therefore, they are nation builders.
