But this may not be the case for some teachers. Over
the course of our career, we have observed, with keen interest, the plight of
teachers. Without a doubt, teachers are the same everywhere. The challenges
they face are basically the same except for a few variation. They deal with
human development. Interestingly, humans have common issues pertaining to
learning and challenges associated with it. Our
heart went out to them and felt the need to offer real help. Besides,
most teachers do not get a commensurate financial compensation for their
labour. For this reason, their well of enthusiasm dries up and passion fizzles
out, thereby merely going through the motions.
Moreover, some teachers do not really
enjoy teaching, to them it’s just a means to an end, an accidental or
circumstantial job while waiting to get a better offer. Worse still, some teachers who put in
excruciating 35 years of their productive life in service ended up retiring
poor. This situation puts them in serious financial quagmire- no shelter and not
able to send their children to higher institutions. In this advancing age, the
good life seemed to elude them. Hence, their life goes on a downward spiral,
thus leading to depression for some and early death. How sad! The society pays lip service to this nagging trend and assumes a
mocking disposition in a time worn cliché “teachers reward is in heaven” This is the situation in
my country. Indeed, teachers deserve a better treatment. They drain out their
soul enriching others.
In view of the foregoing, we decided to reverse
the trend by embarking on a life-changing project for teachers by writing a
book entitled: “22 Secrets of Wealthy Teachers, Vol. 1”. This work dedicated
to teachers addresses the concerns raised above. And there is more. It x-rays
freelance jobs for teachers with real
life scenarios, experiences and interviews of successful teachers. Also, it
takes a critical look at retirement plans for teachers. This is the first in a
series. Volume 2 will follow
quickly. Your assistance in this regard
will help bring the book to print.
