For the Teachers of Tomorrow

These days, teaching is never a job option for young people. It's a sort of filler between O Levels and first year of university, when you can take it easy, tutor kids and earn some money. But in this issue, we're looking into why people should start considering teaching as a full-time profession. We reflect on the money-driven education system of the country, how it's jeopardising future generations and what young teachers could do to turn back the trend.
Also up this week -- a dissection of English translations of Bangla movie titles. Have you ever wondered how a 'Projapoti' could turn into a 'mysterious bird' in English? Some things are only possible in the magical land of Dhallywood. And for all you toiling customer care reps out there, we discuss good and bad answers to customer questions. Protip: don't respond with 'no habla Ingles'. Don't miss out on our regular features either. In this issue, we're covering budget eating in Dhanmondi.
