We don't think twice before talking any rubbish to our good friend. Similarly, why should a student think twice to ask about something to his/her teacher. That's why,according to me a teacher should be the best friend of a student. Ranjit Kaur now considers me her friend. She shares quite personal things of her family with me. I show keen interest in her home affairs. It is very important to understand the environment of a kid before understanding why he or she is not scoring good on exams. From last two hours she has been drawing a flower in MS paint. I can see how much she has immersed herself into it. Her confidence level has increased dramatically.
It was appaling for me when everyone said it is okay to beat a kid when he or she doesn't study properly or does somthing wrong. it would have been okay if a 5+ years experienced teacher would have said. But, these were the kids. Thus, now I am working on an experiment to see how a non-voilent punishment can make a kid feel guilty about his/her mistake. I will explain my observation to you later on.
An Educational Project
- Hello World !!
- Amritsar, Punjab, India
- It is a project to connect 6 rural kids of 7th grade(mainly girls) with the world through internet. They belong to lower caste or economically poor middle caste families. In government school in my village,I found out that each kid spends approx. 7 minutes per week on computer in his or her school. Surprisingly, the school is ranked among 100 best rural government schools in Punjab. According to the government, it is a computerized school which means each kid gets computer education. We also found that among 6 computers only 1 computer has internet connection. After reviewing the situation along with my brother, We have taken the responsibility to connect 6 kids of my village's school to the world through internet and inculcate in them a habit to learn and explore. We have the aim to make these 6 kids computer educated so that they become an asset not only for the school but also for the village of 1500 people. There are many challenges before us mainly school administration. After much bureaucracy, We have got permission from the Sarva Shiksha ABhiyan District officer and the school to provide computer education to 6 kids in 45 days with 6 hours each day.Read 1st Blog.
