Why become a teacher?

Today, rarely anybody in Bangladesh would want to become a school teacher or a college teacher.

Those who can, do; those who can't, teach." This statement remains, to this day, one of the most incorrect sentences to have existed on earth. Aristotle said it better, "Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach." But then, teaching is doing. It's doing what many don't have the courage or patience to do; it's the act of passing on the knowledge that has sustained generation after generation, selflessly, to children who are not your own. It's one of the noblest things a person can choose to do with their life. But sadly, that's not the narrative that exists today—at least not in the case of teaching at earlier levels of education, in school and colleges, in Bangladesh.
