"Teaching is the profession that teaches all other professions" -unknown

Without teachers, all other professions will not exist. That was one of the reasons why I chose to become one. Many would say that taking Education courses are for those students who have no choices left. But if I will be given a chance to choose again. I will still choose to become a teacher. That is a fixed decision already.

Looking back on my elementary and secondary school years, I had a variety of teachers that inspired me to pursue a career in education. I can't say that all professors are nice because I've had those that are severe and demanding. Some of them are likewise unapproachable to the point that you'd rather skip class than to attend his/her sessions.

Various types of teachers

Cool Teachers

These are those teachers who are in a way “go-with-the-flow” people. They are the ones who are always in the middle. They will not give a damn about an issue. They let the days pass doing their own thing as teachers and nothing else. They are usually cool in their style of teaching.

Back in Grade 9, I had a teacher who was incredibly cool. He always invites us to our school's wide field during free/vacant hours, carrying his guitar with him. We spent all of our free time there, singing a variety of songs. He was the one who played the guitar, and everyone will sing. In terms of his teaching style, he was also cool because he uses different strategies in teaching which helped us stimulate ideas to support our own learnings.

Talkative Teachers

These are the teachers who enjoy chatting a lot. They don't appear to worry how much time they spend talking. They enjoy telling diverse stories and are sometimes the source of conflict. They are the primary source of news both on and off campus. Despite their chattiness, they are useful during large events.

In college, I had a professor who was exactly like this, hahaha. You must accept that you will learn from her experiences rather than the lessons. Every time she hears a specific term that could inspire her thoughts to express her ideas based on her own experiences, presume that it is for the whole period/session already. Some of her stories are based on superstitions. She once told us that our school in college was a cemetery in the past. Well, I already heard that words eversince elementary so it's not a big deal na for me.

Strict Teachers

These teachers have standards inside and outside the classroom. They are strict and organized but they are also difficult to deal with sometimes. They focus on their commitments and their goals that they don’t want distractions.

I already made an article about my strict teacher in college. If you want to know her deeper, you can check it out in this link: https://read.cash/@Eurydice/my-strict-professor-personal-confession-04f7fee4

Weird Teachers

They are those we can’t understand and they tend to have their own world other than teaching. Though at times they are very efficient in teaching their subjects. Weird because sometimes they are those who don’t want to go along with all other teachers.

My fourth-grade teacher was a strange individual. I'm not even sure if I learnt anything from her. During class, she simply let us to duplicate and copy all of the notes on the board. She will go straight to the teacher's table after delivering directions and will do nothing there. She will fix her gaze on a certain subject while muttering strange words. I didn't think it was such a huge problem before because I was still young, and learning was not something I was particularly fond of. I just went to school to have some fun.

Modern Teachers

These teachers are the sons and daughters of technology and advancement. They are those who act and look like the modern day models. They dress themselves in connection with the latest trends. They actually sometimes forget the dress code for teachers but they are a lot of help during big events.

Last year, I had a lecturer who was a modern educator. He was a licensed computer engineer. His teaching style was one of the things I didn't enjoy about him. He put a lot of pressure on us to complete a lot of work. Keep in mind that those were not simple tasks. Making Chatbots, giving TedX lectures, and learning more about video editing are just a few of the responsibilities. The only reason why I participate in his discussions was due of his attractiveness. He's in mid 30s-40s now, but he was still hot haha (sorry po). His common words were "Mind you, class" and "Please bear with me".

Those were just few of the various types of teachers that we commonly find in schools. Have you met one of them?

I would like to thank my sponsors. Most especially my 2 new sponsors @Kryptlook and @Tomi-Ajax . Thank you so much guys. Take care.
