Facing Change With Courage.

I am teaching science in government school.

After mobile #phones came into existence, people felt that this change in mode of communication through mobile phone will give #drastict change in life of every person.

Teen ager students were also excited. Many students bought good mobile phones. It was hard for parents and teachers to make students realize that one can not spend whole day on phone.

Good amount of student’s personal time was spent on screen.Teen ager students started avoiding #physical activity in their daily routine. Doing physical #fitness exercise was not at priority of students.

Sometime when teacher is teaching in class to secondary kids, instead of following teacher, students start having #fun on mobile phone by sitting on last bench of class. All these new changes become challenge for teachers.Good school teachers faced this change #boldly.

School administration big decision that students are not allowed to bring mobile phone in class and in #examination hall helped in #teaching learning process.

In examination hall students were allowed to keep their mobile phone on teacher desk. Other problem teachers faced how to know which mobile phone belong to which student. #Track of same were to be kept. In some schools even teachers were not allowed to take phones inside class rooms.

I have mentioned only small number of small problems which school #administration faced when mobile phone came into existence. The list can be much longer.

My submissions is that small change in society in mode of communication can have big impact on student, teacher and administration of school.

On the other hand , in time of #corona mobile phones were so handy for teachers for imparting #education on line.

I always tell my students that by changing your face it is not much you can #achieve in life. On other hand facing change in life , like using mobile phone for good, you can achieve so much in many forms of knowledge and can make your good #personality.

Moral-Always face change in life with #confidence and #courage.

Good Administrator

 

I am a science teacher in a government school.

Another day, I had the good fortune to be part of a meeting of my old students who are good administrators. I am listing some parts of their conversation in the meeting which are important below. I shared with my students in co-curricular activity class during #school hours.

Sanjay said “My observation is good administrators never let any activity in a whole day turn to bitter #experience. “

Raju said” Good administrators never let the negative experience of his life turn him/ her cold. He/she faces it #boldly “

Rakesh said,” Good administrator always stay #soft in his/ her talking even when many things are not on his/her side.”

Uma said,” Sometimes many things happen in his/her life which is life-threatening, but with strong will #power he/she overcomes them.”

Manish said ” Good administrator is a bigger #human being. Pain in his/ her life never defines him/her.

I said,” A good administrator always makes his/ her institution #rise."

After the above-mentioned meeting. I got an opportunity to interact with my students. From the discussion, students concluded that good administrators should possess

1. Strong Organizational capacity of time.

2. Good communication skills

3. Ability to solve problems 

4. Approach to maintain a positive attitude in life.

I was so happy that now my students also know which skills to work on in their personality if they wish to be good administrator.

Wife and Cactus Plant

Cactus is desert fleshy plant with long roots. Our knowledge of subject botany teaches us that Cactus plant is unique in sense that it can survive in harsh conditions. Cactus leaves are in form of thorns which help in decrease in water transpirtation hence saves lot of water. 

 As per Indian and Eastern culture Cactus plants are culturaly very rich and are symbol of warmth and unconditional love. Sometimes Cactus come to symbolize strength and protection and, in some case, lust and attractiveness! Question is why? Answer to above question lies in dynamics of day to day life. 

 Wise wife/daughter -in law is like cactus plant with flower. She stands up with husband and family in times of tears, defeat and every adversity as cactus flower/plant which remain ever green thorns in harsh circumstances. Where thorns represent true daughter -in law /wife adaptation in adversity As nature values its all types of Cactus varieties, similarly humanity should respect all mothers/ daughter- in- laws who stand with family in all adverse conditions and contribute to family by lot of adaptation in her needs and desires.

Dynamics of Consuming Less and Creating More

 am aI science teacher in a government school.

After passing out  12th class from school many of my female students did #nursery training and startedv teaching preschool kids in private schools.

Some of my other female students learned #classical dance for two years. It so happened they got married and could not continue dance training. Since they are creative girls they are always teaching dance to 3 to 4 kids at home. For them, it is not a question of money. They are putting in these sincere efforts as they wish that their passion for creativity remains alive in them. I appreciate their cooperative in-laws also who are so #encouraging of their daughter-in-law.

One of my students is good at baking and makes #cakes on order with no sugar/ egg. These types of cakes are very much in demand as people are very conscious about the consumption of sugar.

Some of my female students help design experts in making ready-made #garments. Some are learning computer courses also.

Taking inspiration from me, some of my students are putting their creative skills into #writing. Some are involved in # the translation of articles from one language to another.

I feel so proud of these female students because when they create, definitely they #consume less, this is the law of nature. Less consumption of TV, Netflix, and YouTube time. It’s a great achievement in this world of science and technology.

Many people spend a lot of time watching TV and YouTube but never put that knowledge into action. That superficial knowledge they make use of in gossiping on the phone.

I tell my students please write more, paint more, create more discussions, and products and bring your #ideas out into the world as and when possible.

Even in my school, I encourage a lot of #debate topics that are relevant to society, to be taken up by students. Students' thoughts are creative and bring new ideas to the world. I am also in favor of making abstract and concrete educational collages for students. Some creative students put life in digital educational #collages through their selection of lovely shades of colors.

Many students say” Madam we think that we are learning from audio/ video content but as soon as we try to put that knowledge into action we feel some pieces are missing. This is because too much knowledge of contents # paralyze thinking.”

I always advise my students to set boundaries for consumption: Limit your time spent on consuming content. Maybe it’s just 30 minutes a day of watching videos or reading articles. You should dedicate the rest of your time to creating.

Many students make creative activities part of their #routine: some write, design, record, or do any creative work, they do it consistently, even if they may not get into Perfection.

These students are role #models for many other students.

Students' creativity inclination makes them #successful in any effort they do in life.

These students believe in creating more and consuming less.I so proud of my students and wish them well in every activity they do in life.

Are you spending  lot of time on TV and gossiping  please think and try to spend time in creative activities  if possible.

I am not Your Property

 I am a science teacher in a government school. My next-door neighbors are fond of #dog and they have a pet dog Romi. They treat him very well. They keep him in #kennel outside their house. When I come home from school dog greets me, I feel very happy to see him greeting me.

The other day I was about to sleep after preparing my lecture to be taught in class. Suddenly I saw a dog near me. I greeted him. He said “Madam I am a dog. You know madam I am not capable of taking care of myself without human’s help. Some of my friend's owners sometimes tie my friends up and forget to feed my friends #properly, I do realize those owners must be having some problems at their hands as to why they behave in such a way. But madam sometimes it becomes too much for my friends. I feel #sorry for them.”

Dog further said “Some of my friends (dogs) are abandoned by persons on a forgotten #road. In that condition my friends feel afraid and #lonely. My friends look for the owner and wonder why they left them behind. I feel sorry for my friends. Madam we dogs are not #property that one can throw away and #forget.”

Dog further said, “Madam sometimes if the owner chooses to leave us dogs in a kennel, we get fearful and expect that every sound of footsteps we hear from that moment on will be our owner, coming to find us.”

I said ” Dear dog for me you are not just a dog – you are a living, breathing #creature. If person x chooses to take the dog home, I expect that he will give him (dog) the things a dog needs to be happy and healthy.”

Dog further said ” Madam we dogs expect good food, clean water, a warm bed, and lots of love. Don’t abandon us. Don’t kick us. Don’t leave us when life gets busy. “

I said,” Dear doggy whenever my student brings a pet dog home, I always ask him/her please, commit with me while your pet is alive and never abandon him(dog), otherwise dear student don’t bring pet dog at home .”

I soon realized all this episode was a sweet dream. I shared the same with my neighbors, husband and family.

Important Skills

 I am a science teacher in a government school. When I demonstrate science experiments in class, my main emphasis is on the great power of skill ie #observation. 

I am listing a few examples of the same below

Preparation of Oxygen in the lab. Potassium permanganate is heated in the presence of Manganese oxide.  Oxygen is collected in a gas jar through water #displacement. 

I ask students to do the following observation

1.What is color  of Potassium  Permanganate.(answer- dark purple in colour)

2. Why is oxygen collected through water displacement (answer- oxygen is insoluble in water)

I make it compulsory for every student to wear eye protection while performing this experiment. 

I also share observations about natural phenomena of Nature. Some examples I give to my students are listed below. 

a. Yellow leaves fall new leaves come out in trees during specific seasons of the year.

 b.When raw fruit ripes it changes colour.

 c. When cooked food decays it gives a foul smell.

While teaching I concentrate that while gaining knowledge in a particular field it is best to acquire some important skills also.

#Deep diving skill

 What is deep diving skill? The same can be explained in the following example.

Many times some students tell lies about their marks obtained in examinations. But they forget by doing so they are not helping themselves. 

By deep #diving, they will soon realize with time that being dishonest with themselves they are disturbing their soul. 

Deep diving power skill is used by police officers. They cross-examine each case of crime from many angles. To examine each angle of crime they dive deep to find the truth of happening. Diving deeply into topics can be time-consuming and challenging, it is undoubtedly a key to #success.

Power of connecting the #dots:

The same can be explained by the following example which I experience in day-to-day life.

I learned to make vegetable rice through instruction from my mother. 

My mother instructed me to put turmeric along with rice while cooking vegetable rice.

  For cooking lemon rice my mother instructed me to first boil rice separately. Then put turmeric and lemon on boiled rice. On mixing two, a bright #golden yellow color will appear. 

I observed in preparing lemon rice yellow color appeared to be a golden yellow shade, which is different from the han yellow color of vegetable rice.

Above mentioned two observations were like dots of information in my mind.

Why color of the two types of rice is different? I connected the dots through two types of rice cooking experiences.

 I connected the dots by following the procedure.

When lemon juice is added to turmeric, a chemical #reaction occurs that changes the color of the turmeric from dirty yellow to yellow-gold: I found the following explanation and a digital link of the same is given below(Explanation: Turmeric is a natural indicator that changes color based on the pH level of a solution. Turmeric contains #curcumin, a chemical that is yellow in acidic or neutral solutions but turns red in basic solutions. Lemon juice is acidic, so it changes the color of turmeric to 

 I explained the same to the students.

Moral - observation, connecting dots and deep diving are three important skills students should concentrate on.

Rat Race

 I was about to sleep after preparing for my class lecture for tomorrow.

One angel-like gentleman came and said,” Madam I wish to share my #mistake with you,   I did  in my life.”

I said “Sir after retirement you have moved to the big house. You have a big #car and a big TV and fridge. What all you need sir? “

The gentleman said ” Here I made a big mistake. I spent my hard-earned money on things mentioned by you to satisfy my #ego. I thought that happiness lies in the projection of my materialistic goods. I never realized that this lifestyle is killing my peace of mind and my pious soul."

He further said “Now to compensate for that huge money I spent on buying a big fridge and car, I have to do extra work in the form of private #tutions which sometimes my old age does not permit to do so. I feel suffocated. There is an increase in stress in my life. I feel burnt out and there is a lack of work balance in my life."

I said, “You should have built a small house sir, and with saved money, you could have enjoyed your #freedom by doing creative writing like I am  doing.”

A gentleman said ” Respected madam my sincere advice to you is please keep doing #creative writing and never get in the rat race of private tuitions and buying the biggest TV and Car. Enjoy your freedom with saved money. Feel happy and #peaceful.”

I found it was a sweet dream for me. I shared the same with my teacher #colleagues, children and my husband. Everyone agreed that Gentlemen in Dream spoke everything right about people trapped in a lifestyle in the rat race.

I shared the same precious knowledge with my students also. I said" Friends never try to get into a rat race lifestyle. It is nothing but a repeating cycle of pursuit for earning money. It gives you no time for relaxation and enjoyment. Sometimes rat race fixes you in an unending cycle of earning money in such a way that you forget to take care of your children.  As a result, children suffer like anything. Money earned in a rat race lifestyle never goes in the right direction."

Moral – Never make financial #mistakes in life by spending more money than earned money.
