Being a caring, responsible, critically reflective and accountable teacher who should 
support learning in diverse educational contexts.




Being a caring teacher means that you support and be patient with learners, learners who have caring relationships with their teacher are academically more successful, they always feel free around their teacher. A caring teacher get to know the learners and the life they live, actively listen to learners, ask for learner’s feedback and more he/she does not corporally punish learners, yell at them without a reason, he/she is more responsible and accountable for anything that involves the learners. Teachers are supposed to support learning in diverse educational contexts do not be racist nor sexist but rather treat learners equally. One needs to have kind love for children and tolerate their behavior failure to do so one will never understand children, like Trunchbull she never gives learners a chance nor she does not understand them totally. Teachers love is like mothers love it is constant, Faithful and unconditional.

Comparing the aggressive displays by Ms Trunchbull, as a teacher you are not allowed to physically or emotionally abuse a learner, grabbing a learner with her hair and hurling her out of the school premises is a serious crime, this shows that there is no care or a little percentage of responsibility and such teachers has to be fired with immediate effects so they don’t exist anywhere in/near the school premises. Trunchbull should have talked to the learner and hear her out or rather talk to her parents than to make this drastic actions, this are the kind of things that distant learners with their educators or rather ruin the relationship between the two, a simple pig tail hairstyle is not a big deal and does not affect learners academic performance anyway, learners end up feeling scared and frustrated and this disturb their academic performance, a scared learner will never find inner  peace, this is more like corporal punishment of which is no longer allowed, Ms Trunchbull’s action is totally unacceptable especially in the teaching profession. Learners are in school to learn and equip themselves with knowledge/education not to be bullied or violated by aggressive teachers who does not know their job description.
