Be a Happy teacher-Ten commandments

[Sadasivaiyer Rajagopalan]

‘Be a Happy teacher!

Ten commandments

1.    Be kind to all your students

2.    Don’t snub anyone.

3.    Don’t stand at one place all the time and teach

4.     Look straight into the eyes of the students when you talk

5.    Encourage questioning by your pupils.

6.    Don’t snumb anyone on any account.

7.    Don’t dictate notes but encourage them  take notes.

8.    Use the blackboard when it is necessary

9.    Teach in a concentric circle starting with the ‘heart of the matter’ in the lesson.

 10. Test now and then and gently correct wrong answers, if given and let none look small in the eyes of other students.

I am sorry that in the Ten Commandments I have listed under 'Be a Happy teacher', there is a repetition-2 and 6.

Item 6 may read as  ' Be a constant learner'

Thank you, Mr.Balaji.
