A teacher is a mentor

not a curriculum-happy tormentor !

A teacher is a guide ... a philosopher

not a slave driver’s metaphor !

A teacher is one who can learn for ever

Not the one who 'teaches'...never

A teacher is a friend and a guide

Not from whom...our errors we hide

A teacher is like a gardener

not someone who acts like a judge….

….and a reluctant pardoner !!!
