On Being Taught By Students

There are many relationships that develop as we go through this broad and far-reaching way of life. We develop many relationships like a relationship with our loved ones, a relationship with our friends and a relationship with our family. Around us there are relationships, too, such as symbiosis, predation, commensalisms and many more.
We as students develop a relationship with our teachers. For recognizing our second moms and dads, I can tell that we learn a lot from them.
What if one day, we switch positions with our teachers? Can we hold all their responsibilities and teach our classmates like what they do.
Here in U. P. every year they celebrate the KYSD or Know Your School Day. I think that this is their celebration that is known in our elementary years as the Teacher’s Day. This is a tribute to our teachers for teaching us and for non-teaching positions a tribute for their service. By this program, we can experience the difficulties and problems of teachers which are mostly their students.
Actually, I should have written “Reflections in Running a School” but I was not able to get my Identification Card as the school librarian. They said that it was a big responsibility of the Student Council if we have positions located at the other side of the school. So, we were considered still as students.
It was Thursday when the Identification Card was distributed. I expected one because I was already received by the school librarian to take her place. Bu unluckily I did not because they were too busy managing the students. They say that if they cross the street they will be prone to danger.
Our first subject that day was Computer. I like computers and want to have one. But I should learn first how to use it before having one. Our student teacher was Rheena. I think she was not too serious at that time. Our next teacher was or should I say our next teachers were a group of teachers. I think that there are too many that time and others do not cooperate because they want other people to do their job. Social Science was a serious subject so everyone should be serious but even the student teachers were not. In our Math, our true teacher was the one who discussed her own lessons. She told us that no one applied to replace her in her subject. That was what happened to our other subject, Home Technology. Same old face, nothing’s change. Just kidding! Also with our Music subject, we had the same teacher. In our English, we were taught by our classmate, Patrice. I think she was a good teacher because she discussed her lessons well. She would also entertain questions from the students. In our Science C, we were also taught by a group of student teachers.
As what I always think each day, learn more and more each day, gain understandings and lessons whoever the teacher is.
That was only the first day. I wonder what will happen tomorrow. What do you think would happen, guys and girls?
