Describing Versus Complaining
As I was preparing the assignments for Nicenet discussion on 'ABCD Objective' and Project Task - step I, I was contemplating on the classes I teach. Most of the classes I teach are big ones, containing not less than 60 students. I used to complain that "They do not work properly", "They are not interested in learning" etc. But when I ventured on describing the classes for the assignments, I got some insights on the background of the classes: their problems in life and learning, their rural background, their improper primary education, etc. Now I have different ideas about my students. I will no more complain. Rather, I will always try to make them learn what they need.

Hi Pradheep,
ReplyDeleteyou must know that teachers are the only ones who can change their students in a better way , even if we don't see the results immediately. You got to the right conclusion that you have to try to make them learn what they need, and you can successfully accomplish this by using everything you learnt in this course."A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."- Henry Adams.
