The Teacher isn’t a source of mere knowledge; <br />Neither is he a passive transmitter; <br />He frees the creative bird from the hedge, <br />And makes his students face their lives fitter. <br /> <br />The Teacher helps the student’s mind to grow, <br />In optimal a way, that’s possible; <br />The students needn’t the Teacher’s line just tow; <br />Curiosity that’s born is sensible. <br /> <br />His teaching methods must well suit young minds; <br />The doubts of students must be respected; <br />By introspection, every student finds <br />His strengths and weaknesses/ what’s expected? <br /> <br />Well, Teachers remove society’s evils, <br />Harnessing creativity of pupils.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-the-teacher/
