The honesty update

Hi, I am Arun, founder of teacheron.com

Ever since the inception of teacheron.com, I wanted to:

Give priority access and reduce the cost for teachers who pay. Serve people even if they don’t pay, because some people just can’t. Make it painfully difficult for spammers to bother teachers and students. Reward teachers for their honesty and civility. Also, pricing every job at 50 coins was wrong. Some jobs are not worth applying. Some jobs pay a lot. For eg., A Maths home tutoring...

School of TeacherOn

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

Einstein Background While cycling back home, I saw people protesting about the astronomical fee structure and increasing (mandatory) donations of private schools. They wanted the fee to be regulated.

I started thinking to myself that they are called private schools for a reason. They can do whatever they want. Maybe I should open a school and do...

How not to teach - Examples of bad teaching

Some teachers are good, and others lack common sense. I hope this post serves as a guide for giving bad examples to make sure students don’t understand anything.
These are some of the bad examples I encountered as a student.

How not to teach exponents? Teacher:  This is how we solve exponents. (After some theory.. blah blah).. So to solve 22 we multiply two with itself twice which is 2*2 = 4. Does everyone understand how exponents work?

Students: Yeah. We get it.  22 = 2 x 2...

Can't get hired? Great!!

It really feels like the end of the world when you don’t get hired, especially when everybody else seems to get hired easily and at decent packages.

At least that’s the way I felt during college campus recruitment.

Given the fact that I am the most relaxed person I know, I can only imagine what others feel in similar situations. 

It’s very easy to beat yourself up for not being what others want, not trying hard enough, being myopic in the past, and other self-deprecating...

Focus on skill, not school

WordPress founder, Matt Mullenweg, mentioned in an interview that he wasn’t happy with his college because they were still teaching old technologies like Microsoft Visual Basic in 2002. Our colleges in India today, in 2016, still teach the same. The real tragedy is that you can’t even find Visual Basic software. In spite of that, the syllabus hasn’t changed.

What you learn at college is already outdated Colleges don’t teach technology; they teach the history of technology, things which...

Suicidal bad grades? No problem!

I have received 2 negative comments and no positive comments on this article. Both negative comments suggest that I am unqualified to write about such a sensitive topic - which is true. 
Before I kill this article, I want to know if it helps anybody or not. If it doesn’t, I will delete it. Please let me know in the comments if it’s at all helpful.

Every year after the exams, there are at least couple of deaths reported of suicide committed by students because they failed or they...
