“Being a teacher is very difficult. I worked as a teacher of native language and literature in high school. I could have been a chemistry teacher. But to have a specialty, a person must have an inner drive that drives him to achieve it. My teachers made a great job creating this love. As a teacher, there is nothing better than being in contact with the children of the public, because the spirituality of the children is very deep, you teach them and learn yourself,” the invited meeting began. his love for the art of teaching: “Teaching is the most difficult, at the same time, the most honorable and beautiful profession in the world.

The independent education system in Azerbaijan began to emerge in the late 90s. Today, they are being carried out educational reforms in Azerbaijan. These reforms aim to create and modernize our country. You are the representatives of that new school. Today we are proud of it.
“Reforms are inevitable, as are defects”
The questions directed by the students to the guest animated the meeting. One of the students said: “In our country we celebrate International Teacher’s Day. What should a real teacher be like?” The guest’s response to his question was very interesting. He pointed out that man must be like nature: it rains, thunders, lightning, everything happens quickly.”

We must speak sweetly with our children, we must not bother them. We must love children. Any love give to the public, they will receive in return. “Azerbaijani education is also humanistic. Some teachers can be strict, but they are also accepting. Humanism is the basis of our educational system.”

“The modern era is the era of the Internet, digital technologies, social networks. What do you think is the right way to socialize?” The guest’s answer to the question sounded like a recommendation: “Socialization is important. We cannot close social networks, we must form the culture of the Internet. We protect the child from what goes towards him. We must teach our children to make decisions about themselves. The school has a great mission in this work. The school must unite with the family in this work. We have not been able to create that unity, we have not been able to establish the school-student triangle. parents about this, not from outside. This will lead to the formation of the parent community. Parents must become active participants in the construction of the school. This practice is widespread in foreign countries.

Abbasov’s answer to the question: “Teachers should be highly trained. Today’s students are not the children of 20 or 30 years ago. They are children of the digital age. Now children are oriented to “They come to class prepared for the teacher’s topic, therefore, the teacher has a separate way of informing them to choose the technology.”
