etre et avoir


a very sweet documentary... one that touches abit too close to heart... a career that I will be facing in the near future... shown in a way that it should be, only I know that it will never be so for me...

the innocence of the children, the never-flagging patience of the teacher... both substances that I no longer have or never had in the first place...

teaching a child to wash his hands while teaching another fractions... teaching patience, teaching confidence, teaching independence... teaching each child to be, and not just to have...

Is this what a teacher should be? teaching out of the love from the bottom of your heart... teaching in such a way that it becomes a joy, something priceless, using imagination and only the most basic tools. without the technology of our life... we are reduced to the core of our hearts...

when did we forget that teaching does not mean imparting knowledge? that teaching is nurturing at its very essence?

I felt I was watching a fairy tale...
