Teacher..err...Cheater.
Yesterday, I was struck with one of the biggest shocks of my life!!! And i'm sure all my 'Bhavan's Rajaji Vidyashram' colleagues would agree. The school's current principal and maths teacher has been awarded the national award for the Best Teacher for the year 2004 by the Ministry of Human Resources !!! It was presented to him by our President, APJ Abdul Kalam. Hmmm...let us further explore the history of this illustrious maths teacher....
To begin with, he used to always arrive 15 minutes late and leave 15 minutes early, for every 40-minute class!! He used to avoid attending more than 75% of his own classes. He was by far one of the worst teacher's i've ever seen and he's the kind of stuff that all teacher-jokes are made up of. The biggest problem with him was..He never ever 'taught'!
He re-defined the very term "Teacher" (and anagram-ed it to "cheater")by being very adept at perfectly replicating every intricate detail of a mathematical problem that was worked out in the study guide,onto the blackboard.Its another story that his office is colourfully adorned with millions of these study guides!
Some of his other achievements are listed below. He was...
There was one instance when a student(inbetween his own blissful sleep) got up and asked him a doubt. Once confronted, he started staring at the guide book continuously and began scratching his head rather stupidly. The student who had posed the question got so tired of standing that he decided to sit down and start chatting with his neighnours. After a while, we realised that our 'teacher' was nowhere to be seen! When we peeped out of the classroom, we saw that he had scurried to the end of the corridor and turned away to vanish for good!!
And listen to this guys...The article also says that he hails from a family of teachers who have, for generations, dedicated their lives to the cause of education... :D :D :D...There couldnt have been a more blatant lie; The truth: He is the kind of teacher that every student's worst nightmare is made up of!!!
Final Question: Are these the kind of vampires(knowledge sucking beings) that this country would honour? Is there absolutely no respite for students?
Answer from 'teacher'(with an evil grin and glinting canines) : Absolutely not! There's no escaping from our clan. The broth brews best with everybody's blood!!

- one of the main inspirations for many a person to hate mathematics till their grave.
- the same guy who completed the commerce students' 11th standard portions after their final exams got over, just so that they weren't deprived of the knowledge!(and ofcourse he never completed their 12th std portions on time)
- the guy who had the unique distinction of being able to ride his scooter with both his eyes closed(umm...actually..he always sleeps)!!

The ever famous Ajeeeeeeeeeth Prasaaad Jaaaaain......how can i ever forget the site of his sour face...at least he used to take class for 10 mins when u were in skool....i enquired with my friends and they claim he never actually took class for them in 2004!!!(he got the award for that yr)....they shud actually book him for violating sanitary rules since half the skool is drenched after he drooled over the teachers(which is something he still does)......
