So what is B Ed?

I had a definite image of the B Ed student- teacher,
Not that I knew that they were called student teachers...
They were troubled thin girls in traditional wear who came with heavy charts & you could conveniently read a book sitting in the back row, they did not bother if you did not talk, and no one can bother me when reading, period.
So when my father had suggested " beta, BEd kar lo", I had dismissed the whole thing with a laugh, "kya papa?"
Today the echo of that laughter haunts me, as I pursue BEd or should I say BEd projects with missionary zeal,
I am that lady in traditional wear with a heavy bag.......
