who are becoming teacher these days??

This question was running in my mind days.... Of course after I passed out of my college! I'm writing this from a Tamilnadu student's perspective.. Most of us who opt science group, take it with the intention of undertaking a professional course (engineering or medicine) .. These days engineering is more preferred because 235 odd colleges are there in Tamilnadu and getting into one of them is not a big job (but getting a job after that is...). Then got to clear 8 semesters and get into some job that would fetch a minimum of 20 k a month...Nothing wrong indeed.. We need to resolve the financial crisis and get things stable.. Medicine is mostly opted by people who are ambitious or their parents are so ambitious that they push these guys into medical colleges...
Approximately 95-98% of Tamilnadu's Science group population gets into these 2 courses.. The remaining
1. who don't manage to score good
2. Willing to work as a teacher
3. Dont get a job other than a teacher

become Teachers...

This is really a sad state. (Tamilnadu state) LOL.. The percentage of teachers who really inspire us to learn a subject and make that us our career is decreasing day by day.. In many cases it has become the other way.. Many of us developed hatred towards certain subjects due to incompetent teachers...

If I hated chemistry, my chemistry teacher Ms.Amudhini is to blame. She does everything else in class other than teaching the subject. She shuts the doors and starts conducting a prayer meeting, mentions few fellow class mate's name just before the exam and prays specially for them to get good marks.. let us leave her.. waste of time talking about one inhumane person.

Well, seeing from a broader perspective, teaching effectively is an art. It is an important aspect in building a nation. Teachers are the engineers of a country. It is a sacred job.

Even if you are getting into teaching profession out of desperate need for a job, it have to be done with so much care understanding the gravity of its need in country building. People should understand this.

Well, no use blaming unless I make some change here....
