A Teacher Is Useless!

Once upon a time, there was a teacher who gave his lessons each day with enthusiasm. But recently, his students began to think he was unnecessary. “Why should we listen? Everything is online anyway. A teacher is useless!” some said.The teacher decided to try something different. He stopped teaching and simply looked at his phone. The students started working on their own, full of confidence. But soon, confusion set in. A test was coming up, followed by final exams.

“What if we don’t know enough?” they began to wonder, as anxiety grew. Homework was left unfinished, no one had answers, and the uncertainty spread.

The teacher calmly watched as the students eventually cried out: “We really need you! Please teach again, or we’ll never pass! We can’t do this alone!” Then, the teacher put down his phone and said, “Now do you see? Without structure and guidance, it’s easy to get lost. It’s not just about information it’s about direction and understanding.” The students finally understood. They saw that the teacher wasn’t unnecessary at all. As soon as he started teaching again, things began to make sense, and their worries eased. 

Moral: Sometimes we think we can handle everything alone, but without guidance, we lose our way. Leadership helps us grow and restores our confidence.

The teacher is not just someone who delivers lessons.
He is the bridge between knowledge and understanding,
the anchor in a sea of overwhelming information.
Without him, the classroom is like a ship without a rudder, drifting aimlessly. He doesn’t just provide answers he creates a space for questions, doubts, and discovery.
The teacher unlocks doors to new ideas, opportunities, and self-belief. Without his guidance, everything slips into chaos, because it’s not just the information that matters it’s how he helps you understand and apply it.

Food for thought

• Is access to knowledge the same as understanding it?
• Can technology ever fully replace human connection and mentorship?
• Who has helped guide you when information alone wasn’t enough? 
• True teaching isn’t just about sharing facts It’s about lighting the path, especially when the way isn’t clear.
