Autumn

It’s autumn again,

The leaves have fallen.

It’s good that you remembered

I remembered those days.

I was happy,

In those past days.

We used to walk together

On rainy roads.

We dreamed together

But when it’s a dream.

I endured like the wind,

I’m sorry you left.

Every time it rains,

I walk by myself.

Goodbye dreams

I will stay like a cloud.

Glass Doors

It isn’t difficult for me to imagine why it might

be that, outward action done for the night, Abby

would stand outside Mary’s glass-paneled,

completely curtained double doors, & listen to

us making love. All this time later, I see it as

a manifestation-in-action of The Lost Twins,

from Abby’s own vaunted masterpiece, rising

to the surface of Abby’s brain, & asserting their

presence. The male-leaning twin laughs at all

the pushing & grunting, the sleazy cheesiness

of what I have between my legs (she has one too),

as though I thought it made me big in the world

(it did not) to bang away at Mary as if the world

depended on it. The profound dumbness of sex

& sexual intercourse mixed with the pride of her

own phallic presence in the world, doing an even

more manly routine of being split, being two

people at once, and making both of them thrust

through the surface of human life, into art

taken from two places, willed into brilliant

singularity, in a way the grunting moron could

never understand. The male-leaning twin wins.

The real girl twin remains a coy maiden, building

up the guts to let herself into bed with me,

jealous of Mary’s easy submissiveness, as though

to the manner born, of letting the man be the man,

however dumb, & riding the waves towards twin

peaks, rather than Lost Twins, behind glass doors.

Teacher’s status in new Uzbekistan, problems and solutions in the new stage of education

Primary education teacher of the 27th general secondary school under the department of pre-school and school education, Khatirchi district, Navoi region 

“If the role and influence of the teacher in the life of society increases, the prestige of the school increases, the value of science, education and upbringing increases. The teacher’s reputation is the reputation of this nation, the whole people.”

Sh.M. Mirziyoyev 

Abstract: This article provides information on the teacher’s skills, his unique role in society, the problem of continuous professional development and the role of the teacher in its solutions.

Keywords: Skilled teacher, skilled nation, continuous professional development, …

      The teaching profession is a complex and responsible process. The honor and complexity of this profession is determined by the fact that the teacher is always engaged in the education and upbringing of the person who is the only owner of consciousness, communicates with him, contributes to his mental, spiritual and physical growth and development. shows the effect of z. Of course, a student who has reached maturity in all aspects can unite under the name of a qualified nation.That is why the teaching profession is the most delicate, the most honorable and at the same time the most difficult profession in the world. It is necessary for the teacher to constantly improve his qualifications and cultivate his personal qualities that help ensure his success at a high level. The place and role of a teacher for society is incomparable. Their level leads the society either to the bottom or to the top. “The task of a teacher and leader is similar to the task of a wise state leader, therefore, the teacher should remember everything he heard and saw, have intelligence, fluent speech, full of ideas that he wants to tell the teachers and must know how to express clearly. At the same time, he should value his honor and be fair. Only then will he have a high level of humanity and reach the peak of happiness,” says our grandfather Abu Nasr Al-Farobi.

     The new version of our Constitution, which is a solid legal foundation of the reforms of the new Uzbekistan, and the “Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy, approved by the relevant decree of the head of state, specifically mention the task of raising the status of pedagogues. The fact that this issue is not just an expression of beautiful wishes decorated on paper, but a firm life goal is becoming more evident day by day during consistent reforms. The law “On the status of pedagogues” signed yesterday by our President can be called a historical confirmation of our opinion. This law, consisting of 21 articles, defines the rights, obligations and basic guarantees of the activities of about 700 thousand pedagogues in our country.This law made all teachers in the Republic of Uzbekistan very happy and created wide opportunities. Along with several opportunities and advantages, the law does not ignore the need for pedagogues to follow the rules of ethics while fulfilling their professional obligations. Knowing and following the rules of pedagogical ethics is noted as a criterion that determines the quality indicators of the teacher’s performance of his professional duties and work discipline.

     As noted by our hero poet Abdulla Oripov, a teacher is a mirror of perfection. This mirror should be so clear, that by looking at it, he should improve himself and his personality, get rid of his vices, and bring order to his character. Naturally, not everyone is lucky enough to be a true mirror of perfection for society. Because of this, the law contains specific norms about persons who are not allowed to engage in pedagogic activities.

     Continuing professional development has several challenges and corresponding solutions. In order to study these problems and find solutions, the teacher, every person in the field of education needs to have high experience. The following solutions can help you find solutions to problems in continuous professional development:

1. References, Articles and Books: Use articles, books and textbooks to find solutions to your professional development problems. You can get the necessary knowledge and practical advice from these sources.

2. Mentorship or Referral: Reaching out to people with other professional experience or mentoring them can enhance your experience. They will give you advice and help you find solutions to problems.

3. Practical Skills: Developing your skills is essential to finding solutions to professional development challenges. Upgrade your character and learn new skills.

4. Analysis and Diagnosing: Analyzing and identifying problems leads to diversity solutions. Articulate problems and define steps to turn them into profits.

5. Hands-on Exercises: Hands-on exercises and examples are helpful in solving development problems. Use practical exercises to test your skills.

6. Gain experience: Gaining experience is very important in finding solutions to problems. Have fun trying and learning new clues and solutions!

7. Internet Resources: Use Internet resources, forums, blogs, videos, and websites to find solutions to development problems.

Finding solutions to problems in continuous professional development also requires a certain amount of time and patience. Steps like analyzing the problems, defining different steps to be solved and searching for practical solutions will guide you in your success on this front.

     In short, a teacher is a hugely responsible, free-thinking and growing knowledge holder. Modernity is its mandatory quality, as much as it is a demand for knowledge. In other words, if knowledge is not adapted to the current times, its usefulness and relevance will decrease. Therefore, a broad worldview, free thinking and modernity are mandatory professional requirements of a teacher.

To You 

As the earth thirsts for rain,  
As the sunflower longs for the sun,  
So does my soul yearn for you. 
In every drop, in every ray,  
I see your image, your gentle smile.  
Just as night has its darkness,  
So do I seek the trace of you in my heart. 
As the earth awaits spring,  
As the flower dreams of azure heights,  
My heart, like a swallow, comes to you,  
To love you through the depths of affection. 
In every breeze, I hear your whisper,  
In every leaf, I feel your breath,  
For you are my unrest, from which I suffer,  
My everything, and my eternal fear. 
As the earth thirsts for rain,  
As the sunflower longs for the sun,  
So does my soul yearn for you,  
Dreaming of you, loving you, always listening to you.

The story of a girl

Do you know? What am I afraid of the ringing of the phone… At that time I was an eight-year-old child. My father was a soldier. My mother worked as a teacher at school. because of my dad’s work, we often moved. My mother had to constantly change her job from province to province. But it was not always possible to find a job for my mother. I didn’t have any close friends because my school changed every time. At school, it would take time for me to learn from my teachers. I couldn’t go out with anyone. All my classmates used to make fun of me as a nomad. but I love my dad’s work. Every time my father left for work, he would kiss me goodbye.

Like all children, I longed for my father to be with me more. But it remained a dream. my father always came home late from work, and sometimes stayed on night duty. At night, I would go to sleep waiting for my father…

I remember that day was my birthday. I was nine years old. On that day, my mother told my father to come from work early today for our daughter’s birthday. Dad came home at nine o’clock late. Four came in. For me, my dad’s arrival made me the happiest out of all four. My happiness did not last long. Until that phone rang, my dad left in a hurry. I did not know that that day would be the last time I would see my father…

          Fate

No matter how much suffering hurts my tongue,
I will go on my way.
Sometimes falling, sometimes standing
Trials lead to dreams.

If not for God,
The wind doesn't blow, it doesn't pour high
I fall for a reason too
This fall will not last forever.

The stars count the days in the distance,
The sun always shines its golden light.
If only I had wings to fly
I would reach the heavens.



   Just that

A beautiful breeze works every moment
My dreams are with me
It's like a long time ago
I just learned to live.

When I am in pain, my heart feels my pain.
Every breath I take is visible to my body
Obedience all my life
Just stop for a moment.

My imagination is sad and gently stirs
The sweet door of my heart
It is as if he has entered a mysterious world
I just live in a secret age.

A butterfly will land on my hand
And my emotions are like an unstable wind
My tender words from the heart
It's just a piece of paper.
