Yearning for learning is a great effort which is ever priceless in any part of human lives. There are many types of children in the classroom where all teachers must be keen on what the children do while teaching.
Teachers are commonly considered as those who can realize to handle all works the society expects. In this way, a remarkable incident occurred in my classroom.
I every now and then used to elicit some sorts of information around the lesson concerned while teaching. In grade six the lesson I had taught on that day was the “Usages of the article”, ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’ followed by vowel letters and vowel sounds. And all words in English are made mainly of adding vowel letters or vowel sounds.
Giving relevant ways to the children to elicit many types of ideas rising in their minds are so fruitful to a teacher to handle his teaching process triumphantly in the class room.
For that reason, I had given a room to the children to put questions to me but no one dared to raise questions and there was serene in the class room and I acquired no responses in all directions.
All of a sudden, one of the children stood up from the fringe area and pointed at me a question which made me is a student as the same of him.
“We can write the words, from one to hundred (one, two, three, four,... etc) using only with four vowel letters. What is the excepted vowel letter which never has a possibility to be existed in the words, from one up to hundred?”
I was curious to hear something new in the question and I could not think anymore and responded him nothing. All I acquired were bitter shyness and failure on that moment.
So, when a child becomes a teacher the teacher, must be a “Master”. This means before entering the class room, all teachers must be well equipped with what the children require.(Teacher, Tamil)
