MAKING LEARNING JOYFUL

LETTER TO HINDU MAGAZINE

MAKING LEARNING JOYFUL, July4
The articles are the need of the hour. The parents, teachers and school authorities must be made aware of the rights of children and the freedom they ought to be enjoying. But when we speak of the dignity of the students, is there not exist a dignity that the teacher deserves? The wrath of the teacher when a student indulges in pranks while he is putting in the best effort is only natural (though it must be controlled).
The best policy in dealing with the problems of the students and teachers is to bring down the teacher student ratio to 1:30 as stipulated by the Right to Education Act as this will bring down the class to a manageable level. Moreover the teachers must be given periodic training on emotional management.
