No Child Left Behind vs No Child Forced to Wait

My sister teaches  in government school.Students come from all back ground.Some students are bright, some are interested in co curricular activities, some are slow learner, some are unruly,some are demotivated, some are rich, some are financially poor.To put it in other words there is big spectrum of students shade which every school has to handle.

Through out the year, along with co curricular activities of students teachers are busy covering syllabus of subject assigned to them.Sadly some time in between teacher has to handle unruly student and sometime one has to handle slow learner.With all these activities of students teacher get too much burned out.One has hardly any time to attend to students who are above average, intelligent and smart.Sadly teachers always ask them to wait and handle their queries at last priority.

Every school has room for special educator where special educator helps students who need special help.I wish very intelligent students could be helped by intelligent subject expert teacher.Sadly very few schools are able to do so.These students feel left out and some time go for option of home schooling.I wish government  could realize these students are cream of country and jewels of nation .It is right time to polish these jewels as they can lead country in many fields.

Moral of  story is that it is good goal of ideal education is ” no child should left behind” but it is equally important that” no child forced to wait”.

Struggle vs Experience Chemistry

 I was talking to students other day and were advising them not that one should not  be scared of ones struggle in life. My students who are preparing for professional exam have to work day and night.After school many students take help from expert teachers to handle questions asked in entrance test.These students are always running short of time.

I feel very much concerned for them.Only way I help them by telling my students, struggle is part of life which is very important.Struggle give one valuable experiences and these experiences help one in solving struggles which one faces in future.

If  I put in chemistry language

1.Struggle give rise to experience as product hence it is consequential reaction.

2.Struggle and experience one cannot separate from each other.In other words struggle and experience are in equilibrium with each other, hence it is equilibrium reaction.

One can not separate ones struggle and experience .One cant accept or reject them, by separating them .These earned experiences help one in handling future struggle of life.Struggle and experience are two sides of same coin

Starting activity late in carrier

 

I am persistence person and believes  and lives in the glass-half-full analogy  well. Interestingly, I am met with a mixture of kudos and disbelief by my age peers when I reveal my new endeavor of science arts writing to them. 

 Since doing work from home is especially suited for seniors like me,,it only stands to reason that as I do bit of writing every day as blog in blogger.com. No one knows how old I am as I am  online, and the chance of ageist reactions and rejections shrinks exponentially.

 The goofy ideas of science arts characters, colors, and moody sounds that have resided within me since I was a teen are still there, and I am finally unleashing them on the world through my writin one by one. It’s a number game. Social media has become second nature to me.

 I think about it this way: What was once considered boastful is now called “self-marketing.” If you don’t put your intentions out there, no one will notice you or even value the wealth of talent that occupies your innards. I figure I can’t give myself the understanding  of hoping to be “discovered.” I have to make this little dream happen, just as I did when I submitted a science arts writing sample to different science magazine editors. Many time my writing were accepted for publication. That encouraged me to write and till today I am involved in science arts writing. 

Now I write blog on blogger.com and name of my blog is “sukarma musing”.
