Anyone who teaches should be aware of the difference. You are a good employee if you are punctual, teach your lessons on time, follow the institution\u2019s policies, and listen to your employer. Being a good employee is not the same as being a teacher. You can call yourself a teacher if you are an employee who takes individual care of your students, listens to their problems and works to solve them, guides and motivates them; in short, you are putting your heart and soul into making societal changes. Otherwise, you may be a good employee but not a teacher. Crossing the line between employee and teacher requires passion, love, and pure extra work for which no remuneration is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me tell you a story for declaring a difference between a teacher and an employee. This is the story of teacher Mrs Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1%2ApDFLJnX_U0csg7g4vD-GAw.jpeg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@vlada-karpovich?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vlada Karpovich<\/a> from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/a-mother-and-her-children-reading-a-book-together-at-home-4609073\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em>Mrs Thompson, an elementary school teacher, was the subject of a storey told many years ago. She told her children a falsehood as she stood in front of her fifth-grade class on the first day of school. She glanced at her students, like most instructors do, and told them that she loved them all the same. But that was simply not the case, for a little kid named Teddy Stoddard sat in the front row, slumped in his seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Thompson had been watching Teddy the previous year and noted that he didn\u2019t get along with the other kids. His clothes were filthy, and he was always in need of a bath. Teddy was annoying. Mrs Thompson enjoyed marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X\u2019s, and then writing a big \u201cF\u201d on the top of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Thompson was obligated to evaluate each child\u2019s previous records at the school where she worked. Teddy\u2019s was the last to be done. She was shocked when she eventually looked through his file. Teddy\u2019s first-grade teacher penned the following: \u201cTeddy is a bright child with a cheerful smile. He is neat in his work and has decent manners. It\u2019s a pleasure to be with him.\u201d His second-grade teacher penned the following: \u201cTeddy is a good student who is well-liked by his peers. But he\u2019s disturbed by his mother\u2019s fatal sickness, and he knows how difficult life must be at home.\u201d His third-grade teacher penned the following: \u201cHe had been crushed by his mother\u2019s death. He tries to do his best, but his father is uninterested. If no action is taken, his home life would eventually have an impact on him.\u201d Teddy\u2019s fourth-grade teacher penned the following: \u201cTeddy is a loner who doesn\u2019t seem to care about school. He doesn\u2019t have many friends, and he even sleeps in class sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"Difference between an employee and a teacher    \u0645\u0644\u0627\u0632\u0645 \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0627\u062f \u06a9\u06d2 \u062f\u0631\u0645\u06cc\u0627\u0646 \u0641\u0631\u0642\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/28VvRm4XLXw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Thompson had discovered the problem by this time and was embarrassed. Except for Teddy\u2019s, she felt even worse when her students handed her Christmas presents wrapped in lovely ribbons and vibrant paper. His gift was wrapped badly in a heavy brown paper he took from a shopping bag. Mrs. Thompson took great care in opening it in the midst of the other gifts. When she discovered a crystal bracelet with some stones missing and a perfume bottle that was only a quarter full, several of the kids began to laugh. However, she restrained the children\u2019s laughing as she described how lovely the bracelet was while putting it on and applying some perfume on her arm. Teddy Stoddard stayed just long enough after school that day to tell Mrs Thompson, \u201cToday you smell just like my mother used to.\u201d She cried for at least an hour after the kids had left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As she worked with Teddy, Mrs Thompson began to pay special attention to him. His thinking appeared to grow alive as time passed. He answered more quickly the more she encouraged him. By the conclusion of the year, Teddy had established himself as one of the class\u2019s brightest students. Despite her deception, he had become a favourite of her teacher. Teddy wrote her a message under the door a year later, saying\u200a\u2014\u200ashe was the best teacher he\u2019d ever had in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six years had passed when she received another note from Teddy, much to her surprise. He said that he had finished third in his class in high school and that she was still the best teacher he had ever had. Four years later, another letter arrived, explaining that despite the difficulties, he had continued in school and survived and that he had graduated from college with honours. He reminded Mrs Thompson that she was still the best and most beloved teacher he had ever had in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1%2ALqKJAuSdZhkKZz-mAnVZ1g.jpeg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@gustavo-fring?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gustavo Fring<\/a> from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/woman-in-white-long-sleeve-shirt-sitting-beside-girl-writing-on-the-notebook-3985037\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After another four years, another letter arrived. This time, he indicated that he had opted to continue his education after receiving his bachelor\u2019s degree. He assured her once more that she was still the best and most beloved teacher he had ever had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That April, there was one more letter. Teddy announced that he had met this girl and that they were planning to marry. He said that his father had passed away a few years earlier, and he was hoping Mrs Thompson would agree to sit in the spot intended for the groom\u2019s mother at his wedding. Mrs Thompson, of course, did. She was wearing the bracelet with the lost rhinestones. She also made sure she was using the perfume Teddy recalled his mother wearing the last time they spent Christmas together. \u201cThank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference,\u201d Dr Stoddard whispered in Mrs Thompson\u2019s ear after the wedding. Mrs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thompson whispered back, tears in her eyes \u201cTeddy, you\u2019re completely mistaken. You were the one who showed me that I had the ability to make a difference. Until I met you, I had no idea how to teach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Teddy and Mrs Thompson\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XbZ4Y0RqOKQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/afzalbadshah.com\/index.php\/category\/schooling\/\" title=\"\">Read more about teaching and\u00a0learning<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The writer can be reached via <a href=\"http:\/\/afzalbadshah.medium.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medium<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/afzalbadshahmanduri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/abmanduri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/author\/afzalbadshah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrAFZALBADSHAH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/afzal-badshah-phd-305b03164\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/923006091064?text=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WhatsApp<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com.au\/citations?user=rBmhtFQAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Scholar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teachers should be aware of the differences so that they can devote their lives to education in order to transform society.
