Teaching part 2

Teaching is something about creating positive attitude towards nature’s creation. It is not like explaining the text book only; it’s all about thinking and respecting how complex the world is and how beautifully it is running without any punishment or homework!!! Nature is not senseless; a good teacher can always develop sense to sense the nature.

Any kind of negative comment can hamper the student’s learning attitude – like you are dumb or you don’t read. It is not the reading that makes a person capable, it is his attitude, his intelligence and his method of watching the things. A teacher should never comment on any of the student about his or her reading time or the time he spends in learning process.

This is a fact that every person loves to be happy. In order to do that one tries to forget the dirty past by erasing it or manipulating it by his own way. I’ll give an example. There is a boy in the school and he is scolded by his teacher daily for not doing his homework. The boy has no interest in doing homework rather he loves watching birds at a nearby lake. He spent his whole the day watching activities of the bird. He comes to know about the amazing life of birds, breeding cycle and their migration cycles just by observing them curiously. Daily he does this, but simultaneously daily he is also scolded by his head master and ultimately was removed from the school for not doing the homework. Still the boy remained so happy and later on he became a well known ornithologist.

Now think momentarily, what would happened in that boy’s mind that he remained so happy despite of such a heavy scolding by principle and parents?

How a boy can remain so stable even after he is removed from his school and isolated from his friends?

Here is a psycho-analysis of that boy’s and hence many other genius’ minds.
A genius mind is always happy and uniform with his inner self. He lives in a superb harmony with himself. So he is stable and determined about what he wants to do. Experiments are the part and parcel of their lives. They like to teach themselves rather others do that for them. Because they are so fast in learning process that they can easily overtake the teaching process of a teacher. They are interested in learning few things only and they are forced to do all. That’s why they feel boring.

A boring mind always searches for a better alternative for fun and of course a genius mind can do this very easily. They find many a things interesting around them and they begin to spend time in understanding them. As they are diverted from the main stream of “Teaching” they are scolded by their teachers for doing “Innovative things”. Initially they feel bad, but as he is a genius, he cannot remain gloomy for more than little time. He always finds an “ESCAPE MECHANISM” for his gloomy mood. He has to do physical or mental separation from the teacher. The physical he cannot do as he is forced to stay in school and learn.

So he acquires a state of mental separation from his teacher. He begins to believe his teacher an obstacle in his path. He begins to ignore him. To do so, he reflexly exaggerates his favourite activity for which he is being scolded to forget all the frustration. For him, his teacher is nothing in his eyes, he begins to bypass the teaching provided by the teacher and refuses believing whatever he says.

This is the basic escape mechanism that develops in each genius mind. “The system doesn’t allow a genius to grow smoothly.” – He begins to believe.

What happens when he becomes a very popular ornithologist, his teacher will come again in the field and will say proudly that “ I taught him from his childhood”. This can happen to anyone at any age as teaching and teaching attitude remains same till one dies.

Now that teacher should think how respectfully that student takes him!!! At least in his career he could have created a very good teacher – student relationship if he had LEARNT that boy’s mind once.

“In fact, teaching is not duty of a teacher; rather he should learn his student’s mind!!!! If he is not able to do so than better he leaves teaching actively. He is not authorised to programme his student’s mind if he don’t know all the colours of it”

A good teacher has always a deep impact on his student’s mind, like hitler was inspired by his history teacher. In this way a teacher can blow winds of change and can created history.
