DEEP DOWN EVERY KID WANTS TO LEARN

Every day, each and every moment of interaction with students brings a lot to learn in a classroom. In my 17 years long teaching career, I have realized that whatever I am blessed with today is due to questions asked, doubts shared by my students  and trust they had on me. My students are never away from me whether they are in their professional spheres or enjoying with their family. We feel connected all the time with each other.

If we talk about the level of satisfaction we find, no other  profession equally satisfying. We feel quite satisfied when there is a gain sometimes it is  quantitative other times it is qualitative. No profession is in a position to give much as compared to teaching.

Every student is unique in his talents. The world we have today is due to following some of the uniqueness of nature. Some people  had been successful in unfolding the idiosyncrasy of nature, so accelerated the process of evolution. They had been successful to open the gift packs presented by God. The role of a teacher becomes very valuable as having plenty of gift packs in his class, hence those must be handled with care. Great teachers are always ready  to put their efforts to solve those riddles given in the form of students.

Some of the gift packs opened by great teachers have illuminated  the world with a light of their unique talent. But plenty of packs remained unopened because of not having adept artisans.

When a teacher behaves like a student before his students then he would know that every student wants to learn deep down, but demands to have beautiful hands like a potter. Only then he can allow you to give them a shape. When a teacher concentrates on his students then only he finds that his students are also concentrating on his instructions. A resourceful teacher is able to meet the demands of every student in his class. He is able to stimulate and  draw out the bundle of questions from their brains hence set them at ease. He always tries to keep the desires of their students alive. His efforts fuels the fire of  young minds.

The children are curious by nature. They want to make sense out of things. They have a built-in desire to learn about the things around him. Children know instinctively their methods of learning. A good teacher always trusts their knowledge about themselves. If he doesn't do that then he might  miss the chance to correct them in case their belief is wrong.

Students learn more by asking questions rather than not by answering. They should be encouraged to ask whenever there is a learning time.

Einstein wrote," It is very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of  seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion." The moment a teacher makes  students afraid, he puts hindrances in the path of learning.

Students actually behave like an echo wall, it depends on a teacher whether he is producing music or noise. Their reflection is the reflection of teachers who are teaching them.
