The teacher’s smile

A smile is the generator of positivity in souls, and it is a door through which constructive relationships with others open. No matter the pressures of work, depression and frowning will not remove them. Rather, with a smile, we open in the soul a door to tranquility and reassurance, and in the mind a door to thinking and creativity.

It is important for the teacher to maintain a constant smile and good mood, regardless of the professional and family pressures he faces, the behavior of his students, his colleagues, the administration, some parents, or the distress caused by various successive events during the school day. In doing so, he benefits himself primarily, because the mood Being upset translates to threats, punishment, screaming, and anger. These behaviors affect the morale of those around him and reduce his giving and the students’ acquisition of knowledge and their understanding and love of the subject and the teacher as well, and inherits stubbornness among his students. It weakens the body and soul, and the student does not benefit from it educationally, but on the contrary.

Some of the teachers have a strong personality and are not deterred by the limits of responsibility and do not like arrogance. Among them are those who evaluate on their own scale that the students who are similar to them are superior, so they accept the least from them and give them many grades, while those who are not similar to them do not pay any attention to their abilities and skills and wrongly treat them as a failed student. Some people have a mood that varies from day to day, or even from class to class.

There must be clear lines and unified specifications followed in evaluating students in the classroom, and they must not be subject to the teacher’s mood. Every teacher must know that the student’s mood is different from the teacher’s mood, and just as the teacher has pressures, the student is also not without family, academic, and other pressures.

When the educational goals always remain in front of the teacher, this is enough to help him avoid anything that disturbs his mood, brings peace to his heart, motivates him to give and exert effort, and forgets the pressures, whatever they may be and whatever their source.

The teacher’s volatile mood creates hesitant students, pushes the student to hypocrisy, makes him claim what he does not have, or becomes frustrated by his lack of clarity of vision. His goal becomes success by any means possible. It also pushes parents to worry and fear for the future of their children, and the effect of that bad mood increases. In students, especially in the early stages of their childhood, God is in childhood, for it is the most precious thing we lose when we grow up.
