The Silent Warriors

Last two years have been tough for all of us. We all fought hard, we won and we lost, and during these times our corona warriors went an extra mile to make sure the battle isn't lost.

However, there were some warriors, who fought while they taught. These were the humble teachers who are always underestimated, but still important.

Recently, a video of a teacher speaking from the platform of a popular game show went viral. She spoke her heart out about the negligence shown towards teachers who too, like other professionals worked steadfastly and unstoppably in the face of the pandemic. And she was so right. Only one of us would understand what struggles the teaching fraternity has been through while adapting to the sudden change of scenario, and that too in a nation where networks are ever wavering and unpredictable.  

In a country where technology is still an alien concept to many, we were so unprepared for the 'online education' system. But, we had no choice and we adapted, however hard it might have been, but we did it. And we are proud of ourselves for doing that. But no one else is. 

As always, the contribution of teachers is remembered only on teacher's day. Paycuts, layoffs, being judged, there is so much the teachers have faced during this time. 

And even after braving all this, not being acknowledged, the endless hours of staring the screens being termed as 'free time' or 'long vacations' and being used as an excuse to be lash out at them, all this is proof that the contribution of teachers is not being recognised.

However, these silent warriors will keep fighting, no matter what, because, classrooms do not just mean textbooks, and teachers do not just teach subjects, there are so many life lessons that they impart to their students during the forty minutes of a class. There is so much effort they put in, just to see their students succeed, just to see their little plants blossom and grow up to not just become big, but become good.
