377 words short essay on An Ideal Teacher (free to read). An Ideal teacher is the real nation- builder. At present our country is passing through great crisis.
The politicians rule the roost. They have made a mess of everything. Even in the field of education, they poke their nose and make a mockery of it. Our country needs ideal teachers to deliver it from misery. An ideal teacher alone can be a messiah, but, unfortunately, in the modern commercialized world, the voice of a teacher is not much heard of.
But, then, every teacher is not an ideal teacher. Ideal teachers, like all Ideal species, are rare. Now a days, many though not all, teachers run after tuitions and thus after leading a life of pomp and show. Yet, on the whole, in spite of all the drawbacks in the teachers, the teaching community is still perhaps the least tainted community as compared to all other professions.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
An ideal teacher is not just a preacher. He himself is a living example. He first himself practices what he preaches. He believes in the dictum: “A sound mind in a sound body.” So, he gets up early in the morning and has a walk. He takes care of his health. He keeps his body and mind pure and clean. He teaches his students to have a high character. He himself is a man of high character. He believes in simple living and high thinking. He himself is a model of hard- work before advising the students to be industrious.
An ideal teacher is a source of light in the encircling gloom. He inspires his students to rise to greater and greater heights in the attainment of knowledge. To the weak and those who have to face failure in an examination, he exhorts to shun despondency and try again. He himself is polite and sweet-mannered. He does not bully the students, but persuades them to be disciplined.
He tries to bring home to them that discipline is in their own interest. He discourages his students in the matter of copying. He has to be harsh rarely, but that is like a father to a child. He cannot be overawed or cowed down to accept the illegal or illogical dictates of others. May our country have more and more ideal teachers!
