Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire’

Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire’ said W.B. Yeats and most English teachers would agree with him in principle, if not always in practice.The reason for this practical qualification, of course, is that education legislators over recent years seem to have more concerned with emphasising “bucket filling” in schools and telling teachers what should and should not go into the bucket than with safe-guarding and developing the inspirational. Perhaps this is inevitable, in that it is far easier to legislate for the tangible, but it sometimes seems as if counting and measuring the components of the curriculum have endangered our sight of the whole process and its purposes. The ‘Standards’ may themselves be regarded as one more example of this preoccupation. It is likely to be in the broad field of ‘literature’ teaching that the inspirational aspects of English teaching are likely to be most keenly felt and it is here that the philosophical distinction alluded to by Yeats often may be transformed into a struggle of supremacy.

DAVID STEVENS(TTA,1998,p96)

Teaching

Teaching is without a doubt the most important profession; without teacher there would be no other professions. It is also the most rewarding. What role in society can be more crucial than that which shapes children’s lives and prepares them for adulthood?Teaching: A Guide to Becoming a Teacher(TTA, 1998,p.1)

I think this is very true and in a way make a lot of sense. I guess I should go into the field of teaching with that kind of positive attitude and hopefully that strong positive attitude will remain until the day I resign, not becoming bitter and unmotivated with the uphill task of teaching student who most of them don’t really like to go to class and therefore uninterested in learning.“ You can send your child to school but you can’t make them learn if they don’t want to” for those teacher teaching in secondary schools they have to face with a bunch of student who are going through their puberty and it is said to be the most difficult years where their own parents face problem communicating with them.
