WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A TEACHER IN STUDENT'S FUTURE? |
Children are like clay in a potter 's hands. Just as a potter gives a desired shape to the clay in his hands, so do children become what their parents make them. This is primarily the reason why the early growing years in a child 's life are the most crucial and lay the foundation for developing their nature, personality and the individual self. These days, more and more children live in a household where both parents are working and often, such children rely heavily on their teachers for help, advice and guidance. There is no denying the fact that the role of a teacher in a student 's life is very crucial right from the time when a child joins a day care centre to the stage when he / she takes a step forward towards establishing a professional career. A teachers entry into the child's life comes at a very mportant juncture, when the child is learning to adapt to a new change of his/her life.

Attitudes are generally learned and children use them because they work. For teachers goal is that child should always have positive attitude towards life and different situations.
