CHENNAI: Dr Susan Edwards,
former principal of Presidency Girls Higher Secondary School, during the
Teachers’ Day celebration held on Saturday at the Sankara Netralaya Academy,
said that teachers have been responsible for giving many leaders directions during
their student life.
Quoting an experience from her life, Susan
Edwards recalled, “When I was the head of an institution, I came upon a student
who was arrested and had not come to school for ten days. His mother pleaded me
to take him back into school. Normally, we would have to given him a transfer
certificate, but, I allowed him to join classes. Five years later, I happened
to meet the boy’s parent and I was happy to know that her son successfully
graduated. This brought immense happiness to me.”
