Schools only want teachers who can help students score high marks. May be 10% of schools in the country want or allow teachers to be different. But, it is not enough for teachers to identify the face of the child whose name is on the attendance register.
Lessons to Learn
Today, many school managements, parents and students consider academics to be the sole purpose of a school. This forces them to curtail the creativity of a teacher when they try to attempt anything out of the ordinary, calling it a waste of time. Others believe that such a loss of individuality is largely self-created, and that rarely do teachers make use of the freedom to innovate. Sometimes, educational policies framed by government agencies are also to be blamed for the loss of individual professional autonomy. The result is that teachers, overwhelmed by the need to maintain records of marks of so many different components or assess students on so many factors in the case of CCE, give in to the temptation of taking the beaten path.
