A Good Teacher is like a Candle

It is true that a good teacher is like a candle that consumes itself to light the way for others. But, the fact that many teachers have been attacked from all sides as a result of their peaceful strikes in which they have demanded some legitimate rights has totally changed my idea about the candle. Now, I go on to believe that the Mor...occan ministry of education implicitly proves that a good teacher is now like a candle that burns itself day after day to set fire to all schools. Just as the ministry begins to blame the teacher, so does the society. To my dismay, the position of teacher has lost the noble reputation it used to have. Every time I see teachers violently attacked by inconsiderate police, I then assure myself that teachers and their ministry still talk at cross purposes. No one knows where the other is heading, and no one knows what the near future might bring to our educational system. For me, I can not expect anything fruitful from the ministry at a time when it still considers the teacher as a mere candle that kindles fire, not the one that lights the way for others. It is high time the ministry and all teachers sat a table in a dark room with no electricity. It is high time they all lit the candles lying on the tables, and each one carried his or hers carefully lest they should extinguish at any time so as not to lose their track back home.
