TRIANGLE with Teacher,Parent & Student Sides

A College or school has three ingredients in academic issues viz. Teachers, Students and Parents. These three sides can make a concrete Geometrical shape called 'Strong-School'. The typical characteristics of these three sides is depicted in this blog, read and enjoy!

Side called: Teachers

We Indians in our culture term teachers as 'GURU' the God of Knowledge, In Modern context all teachers aren't Economically Strong and not all youngsters aspire to be in teaching profession. Most of us are in profession by Chance not Choice.
September 5th is celebrated as Teachers' Day in our Nation. Students at School cadre or College cadre do wish teachers on this day and respect from their heart, which has kept people like me to be in the profession for past One and half decades. 
Now let us come to the reality with which teachers are seen by administrators/management gurus of institutions:
Teachers are considered to be unproductive workers as they do not produce Tonnes of products in a factory floor or fix software bugs that immediately get translated in terms of revenue. so teachers are doing Blah... Blah.. for few hours in classroom and spend time in Coffee shop or Snacks shops in their perspective. A Marketing Manager who brings in revenue in form of NEW-ADMISSIONS to your college is PRODUCTIVE-GO-GETTER for many managements than teacher who shape the students' future. Some student population also treat faculty less competent than themselves as every tutorials is available in GOOGLE or Yahoo search engines. Teachers today in higher education are facing challenge of doing research and winning patents and grants to their institute thus indirectly getting revenue! so teaching is secondary role today earning revenue to the institution is primary role, after all today every thing is REVENUE-MODEL not Value-Addition Model.

Side Called: Students 

Students are today Customers for our institutions. Customer delight is what all are speaking about. Students who join a technical education course like Engineering with high aspirations in first year soon starts realizing more than Teacher the campus placement officer who helps them to get recruited to Big Blue-Chip IT Firms or M.N.C is more Valuable resource for them. So, by the time student graduates HR-Campus placement officer is 'GOD' for them. We cannot blame them the REVENUE-MODEL Demands them to be in Job Market by the completion of course. once the student gets placed in a company from campus-interview, he/she is like ANGEL to God.

Side Called: Parents

Parents have wide array of characteristics. Some parents would have entrusted their unrealized DREAMS on their kids shoulders to realize, Others would have toiled day in day out to help their wards to realize their individual goals, Some parents would have admitted kids based on peer and contemporary social pressures. One thing is in common all want to see their Kids come out with flying colors.

friends having said this, recently i was part of a rural-school parent-teacher meeting for the first time in my life time in teacher's role and could realize the efforts our rural and suburb citizens are putting to educate their kids that too in 10th Standard which is considered by many in Indian context as TURNING-POINT of a student's life. Finally I conclude an Equilateral Triangle of Student, Parent and Teacher is the need for an efficient Teaching-Learning process.

School and Sports are two sides of same coin. Our Hesaraghatta Children participated enthusiastically in Cluster level sports held at Vivekananda Vidyavaradhaka High school grounds. 
Kids from 7 Schools in Hesarghatta cluster participated. Amongst which Children of Govt Model Schools, T.B Cross rocked the show in Kabaddi and Kho-Kho, proving the mettle of Govt. schools in DESI-SPORTS. Overall children had best memories to carry with them. Other schools apart from Host Vivekananda schools that took part in tourney are: Jyothi Vidayalaya, National Public Schools, Gnanabharthi School, HSLN School and St. ANN'S School. Pictures captured in my camera are shared here for you all who might be from Bengaluru or Hesaraghatta in particular.
