Esperienze

It is rightly said "To teach is to learn twice over". I've been teaching for 25 years and there has never been a day I haven't learnt something new. Teaching is not just a job for me, it is what defines me. It gives me a purpose. We often complain about how terrorism can't be fought or how some educated people throw garbage or how kids are becoming lazy in a tech world and the list goes on. It is always easier said than done. Teaching gives me the power to shape our youth into becoming a good person as in the end that is what matters the most.
It's been a year I have been working in this school, the experience and exposure I got here is exceptional.  Experience always changes with the schools we teach, but the one I am having here is having a huge impact on my confidence. Colleagues here are positive competitors and good personal friends. This environment is best suited to grow as a person and individual. Freedom I get here in the process of teaching helps me to give an extra bit of effort to share the knowledge in the way I was exposed to the same.
Knowledge is most certainly power. Power to bring a change in your and others' life and I am fortunate enough to have this power. This profession brings a sense of contentment. Not only do I get to share my knowledge with students, I also get to be a mother like figure for all of them and it is the greatest feeling a woman can ever have.
It’s been a joyful journey here and I am looking forward to coming many more years here.

    Very true Manju maam,
    Teaching is not only a job but it also defines a person...
    Oxford has always believed in giving space to the teachers and bringing their 100% out

Thank You Note For My Beloved Principal Ma'am

You never really know someone until you understand things from their perspective; until you get into their shoes and walk around in them.  I have been very fortunate to join Oxford Public School, first as a student and then as a teacher. When I was a student, though I loved my school immensely, there were a few things I could not understand. But today, being the part of Oxford as an educator, I have understood what all this institution has been doing for 25 years now; especially principal ma'am.  Ma'am, you have helped us to open our eyes to the world, you gave us curiosity and confidence, you taught us to ask questions, you connected us to our past and future, you have never been less than a super star. You are the one who has shaped many students' lives, you are the one because of whom Oxford shines. You allowed us to be the best we could be. You touch the life of every student and make sure it is set on a constructive path. You have changed so many lives an...

Let's be a child again

A child, who is a new spring A child, who is full of energy A child, who has desires A child, who has immense love. Life is not a game to tame, It is to feel the pleasure Life is to do silly acts, Add to regret them. Life is to appreciate what you have, It is to cherish the beauty you have. Life is to love the people around you, Not to question the relationships with you. Life is to accept the reality. It is to express heartily. Life is to live the moment, to be around the people you love, to keep your heart out, to enjoy the beautiful time, to plead, to regret........ Life is too short to be spent in ignorance and hatred. Life is just to love and spread love..... Priya Mundra Educator, Oxford Public School

Secrets of a Teacher's Ward

It has been a year I passed my 12th grade and began a new journey of my life, but the memories of Oxford Public School have not yet faded. It has been a long journey with some ups and downs, a lot many things a child experiences in his school days - bunking a class, roaming around the corridors, standing outside Principal’s office, parents being called for annual report and what not. I am pretty sure most you might have experienced all of this, but to everyone’s surprise all of this never happened with me because my mother teaches in OPS. I find this blog the right platform where I can explain how it is to be a teacher’s ward. It is definitely fun. You are neither ghar ka na ghat ka :D . Classmates see you as a potential tale-teller and teachers expect you to be a perfect student!  I always studied in the school where my mother taught and for a year she was my class teacher too. So in my 15 years of schooling, I never missed her. We literally spent 24 hours together unde...
