chapter 17

Aman - If your school doesn’t get good science teachers then what will happen?Vicky - The parents of the students will start taking school leaving certificates from the school.Aman - And if that happens?Vicky - The school will fail!I chuckled and said, “I don’t think I need to explain more.”Vicky - But I didn’t tell anything to the principal.Aman - Vicky sir if you tell anything to any teacher, it means you have told the same thing to the principal also. You can never know who is going to tell whom, what you told him or her. Sooner or later your information will reach either to the loyal dog of the principal or the principal himself. Believe me you can never trust any of your staff member. It’s the rule of the practical professionalism.He started pondering over the incidents that happened in the school. After a while, he said, “I guess you are right.”I smiled calmly. I said to him, “I want to ask you one question. Please reply to it very honestly.”Vicky - Okay. Ask.Aman - When you were a child what you wanted to become.He sighed and said, “I always wanted to become a police officer.”Aman - Oh sad. But why did you become a teacher?He took a deep breath and said, “Because I failed to crack the exam of a police officer. I needed a job so I took one whichever came my way.”
