Keep the word honesty thoughtfully…….!

Some days back, I was at the mosque with my friend. He was discussing some important matter about the Madrassa. It was related to functioning and maintaining it.

He started discussing with two concerned people. While they were discussing, I just kept hearing them. One of them shared his college experience. He said that he was working at an engineering college at the beginning of his career. At a time, he was appointed based on periods. He was supposed to receive his monthly salary on total periods. Once he was about to have it, at a time, he brought to the principal’s notice that most of the day, college students didn’t attend his lecture. So he didn’t want the salary of those days. However, he was told that he at least went to the class, waited for them and did his duty. So he deserved money for his work, but he refused him thoughtfully and expressed his concern to him about what he would reply to almighty whom he regularly prayed if he had it dishonestly.

The principal was amazed at him and again tried to convince him. But the teacher disapproved of it and thanked him before leaving the principal’s cabin.

He was sharing that story of his honesty to both of Madrassa trust.

While hearing it, I asked myself how many times I was sincere related to such incidents or rejected such money matters.

In the end, it is very significant to keep ‘Honesty is the best policy’ thoughtfully instead of having its meaning.

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learnin...
