Teacher Freezing Among Secondary School Teachers-An Analysis

Abstract

Teaching is the best profession. Teacher’s attitude towards teaching may be positive or negative but is of great significance for efficient and profitable functioning of any institution. Teachers who have great satisfaction and positive attitude towards their job enjoy their profession, i.e. teaching inspite of many economic or social abuses. On the other hand, a teacher who has a negative attitude will not enjoy teaching; rather he will feel a fish out of water. The term “Teacher-freezing” is developed and used not to refer to teachers‟ inability, but to mean the overall unused, under used and stagnated intellectual, psychological, social and moral potentialities of teachers. Teacher-freezing will not only have the adverse effect on the quality of students and schools, but also have far reaching consequences.
