Hi there! An introvert by nature, I am the happiest when I am curled up on my couch with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. Parties are not my thing at all, and sleep is everything. I also love to write and spend most of the time journaling to my heart’s content.
Our great mistake in education is, as it seems to me, the worship of book-learning–the confusion of instruction and education. We strain the memory instead of cultivating the mind. The children in our elementary schools are wearied by the mechanical act of writing, and the interminable intricacies of spelling; they are oppressed by columns of dates, by lists of kings and places, which convey no definite idea to their minds, and have no near relation to their daily wants and occupations; while in our public schools the same unfortunate results are produced by the weary monotony of Latin and Greek grammar. We ought to follow exactly the opposite course with children–to give them a wholesome variety of mental food, and endeavor to cultivate their tastes, rather than to fill their minds with dry facts. The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. What does it matter if the pupil know a little more or a little less? A boy who leaves school knowing much, but hating his lessons, will soon have forgotten almost all he ever learned; while another who had acquired a thirst for knowledge, even if he had learned little, would soon teach himself more than the first ever knew.
Teaching them to think for themselves as they express their different views vs conforming them to a one standard dictatorship. This is sadly what the education system has become.
A teacher who’s open minded and listen to other opinion catches the attention and heart of the students than a teacher who is strict and only listens to himself.
The best teacher is one that listens to every students opinion, while the teacher that thinks he is the only one who knows the answer, gets the failing grade.
Limit their thoughts and you will get an unlimited supply of idiotic teachers to destroy the famous Kabir’s quote on teachers having precedence over the God too
When teaching students ask them WHY? Let them converse, let them TRY! Responses will always be in accordance, To the teacher’s demeanour and performance.
A good teacher must initiate diversity of opinions instead! This way, knowledge can be viewed in a wider spectrum of different perspectives on matters discussed.
A Teacher who engages his/her students does not need to use props for them to remember what they learned. The opposite is true if the Teacher speaks “at” the students and does not engage them
Creativity has no shape. You can’t draw a boundary with some lines and define it. To define something is to limit it. And creativity is something that can’t be caged nor limited. It should transcend normality…
Controlling. An action of fear.
Freedom of expression must be respected!
Conformity to one’s thoughts must not be obligated from one who thinks otherwise!
Be open-minded!
Freedom of expression must be respected!
Conformity to one’s thoughts must not be obligatory
and make you just a blind follower of it!
The students should be the center of learning, let them express the idea in their mind.
children can get more serious & drawn towards studies when
they pay attention & listen to what they are taught in class !
To shape and mould one’s thought is a totally different thing from manipulating it…
You will learn as you teach…
If you listen to what they think.
Not stand talk and let them sit and gawk!
Remember it’s children and not a herd,
They need to speak and be heard…
Not only listen and become a nerd!
Don’t teach them to think!
The sad thing is that we’re being taught what to think not how to think
Silence is universal !
Take out your phones, please.
Putting a caption will just spoil this crystal clear illustration.
My Reality vs theirs aka this world..
ONE AT A TIME, THINK B 4 U TALK,BE A GOOD LISTENER, GIVE CHANCE
Stating your opinions freely and effortlessly is the ultimate freedom you can have.
Indoctrinated
Let Humans remain Human…

Don’t think like everyone else !
No more free thinking for you!
Be instrumental in tuning their “mind chaos” into symphony .
Freedom of expression is catalyst to imaginations.
Tomorrow’s citizens should be nurtured with imagination and not with silence !!!
To evolve them into an innovative genre; involve them to express and opine.
Structured instruction may make them “learn it” ; intellectual discussion will make them “earn it”.
You can not standardize the mind.
A good education can be yield through silence.
When there is no silence
There will be no learning.
Don’t teach your children what to think, teach them how to think.
Active learning invoke new ideas.
_And i think to my self…. _what a wonder “fool” world…
Workplace politics
not all the time the students will always listen to the teacher but a teacher also must listen to his students.
A teacher who’s open minded and listen to other opinion catches the attention and heart of the students than a teacher who is strict and only listens to himself.
Forget what you have learned, this what you’ll need to know to show how stupid higher learning has got.
Millennialism… At work..
Education is a constant learning process for both student AND teacher…not just the student….
Clear words are essential
If we all thought the same it would be boring
Teacher be wise
Do not standarise
Make learning more customise!!
Question and let it be different than the previous. Everyone’s perspective shouldn’t be the same if intent is to grow.
Prior instructions always bring out the desired effective result.
The best teacher is one that listens to every students opinion, while the teacher that thinks he is the only one who knows the answer, gets the failing grade.

Power of freedom of speech, think, and imagination..
this reminds me of a similar image I keep close to my desk to make sure I never do it……………………………..
Don’t be a square, think out of the box..
Don’t you know..
There’s a world out there that’s paradox..
Don’t just teach,
encourage and inspire
your students to think
out of their own individual boxes..
Teaching is inspiring young minds,
a good teacher knows
that all students have minds
that work in different kinds..
Don’t just repeat lessons,
explain, discuss, dissect…..
Don’t just mouth empty words,
explain, teach, reach out,
understand and inspire…..
When teaching students ask them WHY?
Let them converse, let them TRY!
Responses will always be in accordance,
To the teacher’s demeanour and performance.
A teacher’s job is to inspire originality,
don’t straightjacket their minds,
it will kill and smother their creativity……
Sometimes it’s good to think out the box
Teachers should inspire.
If not, should retire.
Participation and analysis,
Prevent personality dialysis.
Lecturing and lesson regurgitation,
Prevent creativity and imagination.
Digital Study…
When teachers invoke diversity,
They prepare students for university.
When teachers preach protocol,
Students lose their wherewithal.
Schools making everyone stupid
Learning by rote,
No opinion, no vote,
Leads to conformity,
And silencing uniformity.
The best way to teach is letting learners be their unique selves, don’t expect to accomplish anything with the militaristic way.
A teacher must be open-minded to the diversity of his student’s thoughts. .
Must not be a routinary ‘Yes Sir, Yes Ma’am’ class scenario!
Its better to opine self than being muted and forced to ape
Difference of opinion brings in wider expansion of content
Friendly conversations serve a better tomorrow than a mugged up session
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.
The difference between an open minded and closed minded society
A class whose mindsets must always be . .
in conformity with what the teacher has. .
limit their boundaries of learnings!
Free thinkers often confound the educated,
while the muted believe what they are told.
“You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” A.E.
A good teacher must initiate diversity of opinions instead!
This way, knowledge can be viewed in a wider spectrum of different perspectives on matters discussed.
Your voice should build BRIDGES! Not …boxes.
Allowing an open mind is more condusive to learning
Open learn, closed copy
Freedom of expression must be respected!
People couldn’t be a ‘YES’ man all the time!
Different mindsets give different learnings!
Thinking outside the box is more creative
The indoctrination of today’s youth.
Sometimes a teacher have to be an empty vessel too,
to understand students point of view.
Neha Jethi nice one..
A Teacher who engages his/her students does not need to use props for them to remember what they learned. The opposite is true if the Teacher speaks “at” the students and does not engage them
A class with only one opinion gives you a path to follow,
while a class with different visions helps you in making one.
Going Limitless shapes apes
I’d prefer to see my children
Spitting out nonconformity, you see,
Than to witness blank stares,
Assembly line minds. It frightens me.
Massacre of creativity in modern days…
Dictating material is not teaching
Having an open mind and differences in opinions is where the learning begins
You’re absolutely unique. Just like everybody else.
Shaping and manipulating others thought not only hinders their creativity but also limits and shortens their spectrum of perception…
There are no boundaries, or limits when creating..
Vision and determination makes dreams come true.
When open thoughts are stifled, everyone thinks the same…
Think out of the box? There is no box in the first place. Don’t fall into the category of normality. Follow your curiosity and feed your creativity…
A teacher that takes the time to teach a child how to think for themselves are creating true gems of the future
As long as curiosity prevails, so long does creativity dawn…
When one shoe doesn’t fit all, then how can one thought?
Instead of shaping a standard thought,
You must learn to think out of the box.
With curiosity in the mind, creativity you shall find…
Creativity has no shape. You can’t draw a boundary with some lines and define it. To define something is to limit it. And creativity is something that can’t be caged nor limited. It should transcend normality…
The posture of learning requires confidence and interest
