Are you a successful educator when your pupils are scoring flying colours for their exams?
What does it mean to be a teacher?
It is just to teach the knowledge pertaining to your subject alone?
Do you measure your success by the results that your pupils scored?
I do agree that helping our pupils to achieve success for the subject that you are teaching is important but the attitude to learn is more important.
We can have pupils who always experience success in their early years of education.
The moment they encounter their first failure; the world earth has just collapsed before them.
Some even choose to take their own precious lives because they cannot accept their own failures.
As teachers or parents, we should not focus solely on the results that our children achieve but the process of it.
They must understand that life is not always a bed of roses and failures are good teachers of future better successes.
There is a lot of valuable lessons that they can learn from their failure.
Lots of entrepreneurs do not start off a successful business in the beginning stage.
By learning from their mistakes or errors, they can make improvement and move on.
Children who are used to success may tend to get stuck or even feel too depressed to carry on and they may even give up learning as a result.
Don’t just teach the head knowledge, we should teach the attitude of learning to infuse learning as the main motivation without over focus on academic performance.
Teach and be a role model that even adults learn from failures to build a successful future.
Infuse the love of learning and it will go beyond your classroom and many years to come.
I do have pupils who became successful learners in the later part of their lives. We may not always see immediate results but we have planting seeds of learning attitude to help them to face future challenges more successfully.

Here Here man.
Good education is very important, and to create a good relationship with your students.
Something I never had through both my schools growing up :(
But the streets taught me well :)
Nice post,
Cheers.
Yes. Survival in this society does not belong to only the very educated ones but everyone who is able to learn from every situation including the streets. School is not the only place of learning.
Yes well said man.
There should be a college course on how to become a well-rounded person :)
The world will be a better place :)
A verry good issue and worth thinking about. What is really important. Seldom what is teached at school esp not if your child is smarter as the teacher or thinks differently
