Why in teaching profession growth and satisfaction is not there?

Firstly,teaching should be by choice not by chance. The teacher should always innovate and experiment wth the vast technology platforms available.This holds the pupils wavering interests.


Devoid of this, one is open to exploitation ,which in turn, leads to disatisfaction and stagnation.


Add to this a pinch of in-school politics by hovering around the decision makers, show off your innovations etc. and you can have the cake and eat it too!!!


NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE !! !!

you join any profession... you will feel same everywhere...
Reply:With the advent of BPO industry, suddenly there is an upsurge in the salaries. Teaching profession has always been a slow growing profession. Today's generation aspires for higher salaries, but this profession doesnt give you all that.


You can get great respect but this profession doesnt give you the monetary dreams that one aspires. as far as the job satisfaction is concerned, it depends on the person taking up the job. if you want money, then it can never satisfy you. but if you want 9 to 5 job, enjoy all holidays along with respect, this is the right choice.
Reply:That part has to come from "within". There are many opportunities for "professional growth", but, you must avail yourself of them. Bad part is you have to separate the "wheat from the chaff" and find those that appeal to you. ONe thing I will say, when the "fire" goes out in a teacher, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to rekindle.





A first year teacher is full of fire and energy. That may last for 2 to 3 years or even longer. It is when the "grind" gets to them that the fire starts to fade. Lessons are just lessons. Teaching is just regurgigation of words. The one thing that did at my kids elementary was move the teachers around. Never stale for sure. One teacher might be teaching 2nd grade one year and the 5th next. They also had Looping which is where a child has the same teacher for 2 years. Looping is also a way to keep the teaching and the teacher fresh. It is not HOW you do it, it is THAT you do it. YOu either WANT to be the best or you TALK about being the best.

As a matter of fact it has now become an anachronism to aspire for the job of a teacher when the thrill lies in dot coms. The simple reason for such a esteemed job to lose it’s flare is that it is no more financially attractive in India. India witnessed a significant advance in the living standards of it’s people from early 1990’s. Unfortunately this growth compared against the salary drawn by teachers is ill proportioned. So in the materialistic world how can a youngster ever dream to become a teacher and perform paramount work for peanuts.Decent compensation are prevalent in educational institutions run by the government but not otherwise. Freshers from college work for the meager compensation of Rs.500 onwards for the sake of experience and better job prospects. The most sour aspect of this profession is that the salary is not bound to increase with experience as they shift from one school to another. No matter of what their experience is, they need to begin their job in the new school with the basic salary assumed by the school.With these unpleasant aspects it is certainly not phenomenal for teachers to fetch an employment in the schools and colleges abroad. Yes, there has been a steering rise in the number of India School teachers going to abroad to teach. Whether you call it fortunate or unfortunate, the potency of the Indian teachers is well realized by the educational institutions abroad. Indian teachers draw salaries at par with the US counterpart with the potential to increase their salaries as they become more experienced. No wonder, the number of Indian teachers going abroad in increasing- a trend that is certain to have positive and negative impact.Such migration will cause a subtle drop of good teachers and quiet obviously on the educational standards of India. The westward flight of Indian teachers has positive impact too. While most people tend to deplore the ‘teachers drain’ phenomenon, Maya Menon, director of Bangalore-based The Teachers Foundation discerns a silver lining. “It is not necessarily deplorable. In India teaching is perceived as a stagnant profession with slow upward mobility and modest financial rewards. If new opportunities to work abroad with decent pay have arisen it will motivate more young people to enter this increasingly shunned profession,” says Menon.Whatever be the positive aspect of this migration be, it is not too late for the Indian government to focus on policies that would make this profession financially attractive in India.
