DEAR TEACHERS

DEAR TEACHERS by ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

I think when I speak I’ll speak for most average students

Firstly am so grateful and humbled for your Great job

For every moment you spend with students

You're super heroes

But there is something I would like to put forward

Something that's aching my heart

Dear teachers

It hurts so bad Every time you tell a student that he is dumb,

Stupid or ignorant after scoring low grades

In test or paper

Just like how back in my junior high school days

My Maths teacher used to

Oh wait… Who is a teacher in the first place?

A teacher isn't someone who teaches something,

But someone who inspires the student to give of her best

In order to discover what he/she already knows.

How will I be inspired when am being called a cow

How will I be inspired when am told that I won't succeed

How will I be inspired when am always called dumb

And may but to mention a few

All because I couldn't get the value of X&Y

Albert Einstein said everybody is a genius

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree

It will live its whole life believing that it's stupid

Dear teachers

A student who gets low grades today

Might be having a dream that will change the world tomorrow

Please understand us inspire us.

Retired Dr Ben Carson was also called

The dumbest student but today

He’s World celebrated neurosurgeon

Dear teachers

Do you ever wonder what goes?

In the mind of students after all those words

Oh how am sorry to my fellas who

Couldn't bear all that and

Had to drop out at an early stage

Dear Teachers

The tongue can be a very good weapon to destruction

Misery and killing the self-esteem of the students.

We are all molded the same but with different abilities

Appreciate the good in books and encourage those who aren't

We cannot all be teachers, doctors, judges, lawyers, pilots and so on...

But we can all fit in the cycle and continue building this great continent.
