SEC-S6W2: "I Am a Teacher | Being A Passionate Teacher".

Hello friend, greetings to you, and welcome to my post today. Indeed, I am so excited to have you here reading through my post. In this post, I have talked about "I am a Teacher" as part of my entry to the contest organized by Steem for Bangladesh.

Teachers are great people in our society who do not only educate us but also guide us on the right path in life. To this I can then say that "teaching" is summed up as interaction with students that enables their comprehension and application of facts, ideas, and procedures. design, content selection, delivery, evaluation, and reflection are all included. Let's know what kind of teacher I am.

I am an accounting teacher, a computer teacher, and also a cryptography teacher. I don't teach for a living, but instead I teach because I am passionate about making sure that people get something successful out of their time.

When it comes to teaching, I just totally like showing people those things that are very profitable. Although, during my days in the National Youth Service Corps, I taught my students two subjects: financial accounting economics.

Myself Teaching

My passionate for teaching is what makes me want to teach Peachtree Accounting (Sage 50) voluntarily in a computer institution, and in addition to teaching, I also mentor (teach) people about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology; in fact, anything that has to do with cryptos, I am ready to teach for free.

To be honest, teaching comes with a lot of challenges that seem to be very stressful to those that may be teaching for the first time. Although, in my own case, the challenges that I have faced as a teacher during my National Youth Service Days are:

The use of a poor chalk board:
Then I faced several challenges when writing on the board for my students to copy, and due to how bad the school chalkboard was, I couldn't write very well on the board.

While writing on the chalkboard, you must use force in your writing so it will be clear enough for the students to copy, and sometimes while I am writing, most of the students will be asking me what I wrote on the board.

Challenge of Languages:
At the school that I teach, I was faced with the issue of language. Half of the students weren't hearing English, and so they found it difficult to speak, which hindered my communication with them. At some point, I had to call an interpreter in my class to interpret what I was saying.

Poor facilities and materials
As a teacher, then, having access to materials that I will need to use and teach my students was a challenge to me as the school didn't have a school library where a teacher or students could sort some materials, and also having access to the Internet was a challenge that affected my research.

Challenges of Forming: Lecture Note:
This is the part that I hate the most when it has to do with teaching, especially when the students are not good at dedications.

Then, as a teacher, I will spend almost 3 to 4 hours creating lecture notes for my students and also for the school management to access at the end of every week. Such a thing was a challenge to me because, at the end of writing in my notebook, I will still write on the chalkboard.

Some of the other challenges that I have faced are:

• Answering of unrelated questions by the students
• Noise pollution

Well, I created a learning environment by researching and having an extra moral class with my students. At first, I became open (friendly) to my students so they could share their thoughts with me, which made so many of them very happy with me.

Whenever I am in the classroom teaching, I make sure that I don't use words that are above their understanding; instead, I try to simplify my words to their level of understanding. Also, at the end of every week I usually give my students take-home assignments, which they will later solve with me in the classroom after marking their own.

Finally, cracking jokes was also part of what I did. I discovered that the students like plays and are always happy when someone does something funny, which is the strategy that I usually use to make them active in my class. At some point in my teaching, I will just crack a joke, and all of them will start laughing—even those that were sleeping will wake up.

Well, as I have earlier said, I am not a teacher, but I love teaching people things that will benefit them. Beside my first degree and the program I am currently pursuing in the tech space, I have not pursued other professional development. By the grace of God, by 2023 I will start pursuing my ICAN and MSc so I can have a better edge and create more opportunities for myself.

Higher education became very expensive because of the significant increase in demand, as many people are now interested in going to school to sit at the same table as or be in competition with the elites (rulers). And with such demand and how competitive our labor market is today, several higher education institutions have raised their prices very high. Although that is not the only reason, the increase in the cost of living, the lack of government funding, and the increase in lecturers' salaries are all part of the major reasons why I think higher education is expensive.

In my own opinion, education should be free as it's the backbone of development, but our leaders wouldn't like such an idea because they hate it when someone from nowhere starts competing with them. i.e., leaders like to imprison the success of followers. Although my opinion here is that the government should make education very cheap and valuable for everyone in the society as it is the backbone of development,

At least the government should be responsible for students' school fees, whereas students will be responsible for their feedings. This is my humble opinion.

Thank you for reading....
