Everyone can think back to their years as a student and recall at least one teacher that stood out as a truly outstanding teacher.
We’ve all had that teacher at some point in our lives. It can be really difficult to pinpoint what makes a teacher remarkable.
We know it when we see it or experience it, but putting our experience into words can be challenging.
1. Teachers that care about us both in and out of the classroom
Whether cheering for us on the field or applauding our curtain call, students appreciate teachers that show us they not only care about how we’re doing in their class, but out of it, too. My friend said “I especially love being able to go talk to my teachers about life and other things not related to the subject at hand”. It’s a great feeling knowing that when you don’t want to talk to your parents, there’s another adult that you can talk to and trust. It would take way more than two hands to count the number of students at my school that keep in touch with the teachers during the summer. Having an exceptional relationship with teachers has us looking forward to school every morning and working harder in class to show the teachers we adore that we care.
2. Teachers those are beyond passionate
The best teachers are not always the ones teaching the core classes. I took a English class in 8th grade and learned more information in a single semester than I’ve learned during an entire year. The teacher was fantastic because he was incredibly passionate. When imagining a teacher discussing Shakespeare, many would picture a bunch of teenagers staring out into space, barely listening. But, when My teacher talked, no heads went down and no eyes wandered. Everyone was focused intently on what he told us because his passion for the subject was contagious. I admire teachers that are so passionate about their subject that they inspire students to look further into it, ask questions, and leave the class with a sense of wonder about learning something genuinely new and interesting.
3. Teachers that plan unforgettable lessons
My 6th grade Life Science teacher was an incredible teacher. Her lessons were the type that stuck with us long after leaving her class. Each lesson had a lot of thought put into it and was obviously well planned without making us feel as though we were robots following a plan down to the last second. I would go home and tell my parents about the exciting things we did in class on a near-daily basis. she floated from table to table, pointing out cool things, answering an immeasurable amount of questions, and comforting the squeamish. She loved us and we loved her. Her immense amount of passion, knowledge, and love made her an outstanding teacher.
4. Teachers that aren’t afraid to be challenged
I had an unforgettable teacher during my year of high school. He consistently challenged and debated with us in class and welcomed the opportunity for us to disagree with him. In a society where students are always expected to accept what the authority figure says, having a teacher who allowed us to challenge him was an eye-opening experience. No matter the topic, if we had a different opinion, he wanted to hear it. At first, it was strange to debate with a teacher and a bit upsetting that he was not shy about pointing out a flaw in our argument. But, by the end of the year, I appreciated having a teacher that I could be completely honest with about the subject, knowing he would bring up a point that would have me thinking about my argument in an entirely new way.
In the end, the best teachers aren’t always the ones doling out the best grades. Rather, the teachers that *challenge, inspire, and truly care for their students are the ones that make a lasting impact*.

Why sports should be made mandatory at schools
Weren’t those days the best when children used to play in the park, giggling with happiness and their faces glowing with energy?
Nowadays, technology is overpowering the fun time of our children. Video games and smartphones are making them inactive in their daily routine. It not just hampers their overall health but also affects academic performance.
In such a backdrop, sports is one such thing that can aid in offering a holistic development of students. In fact, as per our Hasti School’s philosophy, all students should take active participation in sports activities. Sports education in India is now a big thing, and everyone should adopt it as a tool to make students active individuals.
Here are some reasons why sports should be made an integral part of the school’s curriculum:
Teaches Essential Life Skills
Students may learn about the great poets of English Literature or how force is directly proportional to acceleration, but these things won’t teach them essential life skills. They will not learn how to interact with people or feel confident while giving a presentation. However, if they play sports, opportunities to learn these things will knock on their door every day.
While participating in sports, they will get the chance to develop their reactions to a situation and must act quickly by analysing and examining the facts. All such activities tend to improve and build strong life skills that can be of great help in the future. Some common skills that get a boost when students play sports include:
• Discipline
• Social Skills
• Self-Esteem
• Confidence
• Strong Memory
• Team Work
Improves Academic Performance
‘How sports benefits education?’ – This is one of the most common questions that parents ask when we talk about sports in school. Well, studies have suggested that physical activities play a vital role in the development of the brain. Sports not only reduce stress but also lead to improved creativity and better concentration power among students which automatically is reflected in their academic performance.
If students constantly focus on studying and do not involve themselves in stress-busting activities, it can affect their academic performance and also exhaust their mind.
Boosts Health
Modern day’s lifestyle has made our kids inactive. They are so used to comfort that even picking up the TV remote seems a big task for them. Such inactiveness and sluggish behaviour leads to health issues – with obesity topping the list.
By playing sports, students can achieve a healthy lifestyle that further improves their overall health and maintains body weight too.
Bigger Opportunities
While many people still don’t understand what is sports education, we at Hasti public school realise its potential and help our scholars make most of the available opportunities. There is long list of our school students who have excelled at National and International level There are many students who have represented at state level champions To name one such achievement , our talented scholar Kanan sheetal KailasJain recently achieved the rank in Under Fencing at National level Safe to say, sports not only improve students’ health but also offers them golden opportunities to achieve success in life.
To Sum Up
“Play a sport. It will teach you how to win honourably, lose gracefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time and stay out of trouble*.”
Whoever said these words certainly understood why sports education is important. At our school premises, we offer a wide range of sports activities to cater to the diverse interests of our scholars.
