The
teacher-student relationship plays a crucial role in the educational process. For enhanced learning to be achieved, this relationship should be founded on mutual respect and clear communication. As a result, strong teaching practices and active student engagement will ultimately lead to high-quality learning.
The teacher’s role should be that of a mentor who provides a safe and engaging learning environment, while the student’s role is to actively participate in the learning process and acquire valuable knowledge across various subjects.
Sadly, there are cases of teachers who discourage students by not valuing their efforts, being arrogant and overly controlling, and acting superior in the classroom.
One such teacher was forced to taste his own medicine after he tried to insult one of his students for no particular reason.
During lunch time, the student sat next to his teacher. The teacher gave the student a cold look and said, “A swan will not be friends with a pig.”
With a smile on his face, the student said, “Then I shall fly on.”
The teacher got extremely angry and was determined to fail the student by asking him the hardest questions.
One of the questions was: “You are walking down the road and you stumble upon two bags. One contains gold, and the other one contains cleverness. Which one would you choose?”
Without hesitating, the student answered, “I would choose the one with the gold.”
“I disagree,” said the teacher. “I would choose cleverness, because that’s way more important than money.”
Looking straight into his eyes, the student said, “Well, everyone would choose what they lack.”
The teacher was shocked and insulted so he took the student’s paper and wrote “a**hole” on it.
The student took the paper without even glancing at it, and left the classroom. After a few seconds, he returned and said, “Excuse me, sir, I see you signed my paper, but you forgot to give me a grade.”
We hope this joke made you laugh.
