Teaching & Learning","description":"Krishna had no close connection with his students.<br \/>\n\u2018Who was I\u2026My command\u2019 \u2013 Page 8.<br \/>\nDoes not take his role as a teacher seriously. Feels he has no responsibility over his students or their education.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nKrishna is the teacher, but ends up learning the most in this book \u2013 Irony <br \/>\nSusila\u2019s parents say, \u2018every girl on Earth should be made to pass through your mother\u2019s hands\u2019.<br \/>\nThis explains that there are some things which can only be taught by certain people to another and for the domestic work, this certain way of teaching is the best taught women to women. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nKrishna \u2018mugs up and repeats\u2019 and forces the boys to mug up and repeat. <br \/>\nHe does not have a high opinion of teaching at the college. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nHeadmaster: \u2018not for them\u2026 for our elders to learn.\u2019<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAt the beginning of the book, Krishna always looks forward for his classes to come to an end. (Clock watches) yet it is ironic because he does not have anything to look forward to as his life is only based on teaching.<br \/>\n\u2019My duty in the interval\u2019 \u2013 He calls his breaks intervals as though it is the least important.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nNo real interest in teaching at the college.<br \/>\nIf they paid him the same amount to \u2018string beads\u2019 he would not turn down the offer. \u2013 \u2018gladly do so\u2019<br \/>\nHe is only interested in the income he gets and forgets about his duty as a professional paid teacher. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nSchool of order V\/S chaos.<br \/>\n\u2019It was a small class and I could easily have established law and order\u2019 V\/S \u2018running up the ladders, swinging\u2019 etc. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u2018Exam based school\u2019 \u2013 \u2018mug up\u2026 and secure high marks\u2019 V\/S \u2018Glittering Alphabets\u2019<br \/>\n<br \/>\nLecture style V\/S free style of teaching, \u20183 hours of lecturing\u2019 V\/S \u2018\u2026just as they play\u2019<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe title: \u2018The English Teacher\u2019 is a contrast to Krishna because it is talking about what he has turned away from in his journey throughout the book. Because in the end he is not the English teacher he started out to be but a kindergarten teacher in the Headmaster\u2019s school.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
