it's the 'teacher' who plays an important role in every child's life...raising confidence and self esteem, motivating and inspiring caring and loving. a teacher has to be empathetic. accept the child as it is.
i've been hating teachers since my childhood for their insensitivity. some of them are very rude..they are like Kroor Singh from Chandrakantha serial. yes there few teachers like that. hell with them. i dont have respect for them. they aren't teacher and not even humans. slowly i was loosing that hatred towards them. but time is making me to hate them everytime am trying not to.
there are certain ethics and confidentiality that are to be maintained by the teachers when they deal with students, regular or otherwise. some teachers forget and cross their limits. ignorance / immaturity? foolish/ idiotic?
i appreciate if a teacher takes initiative, to talk to class students to co-operate with a child having special needs. but it has to be done carefully becoz it's sensitive issue. if he straight away goes and tells 'one of ur classmate is having psycho problem, u show him notes.' just imagine what wrong message it's gonna convey? and how painful it must be on that child's part if it happens in his presence. another painful event is that the child is from pre-primary..hardly 8yrs. that teacher actually dint help but worsened the condition of the child. may be he dint realise that he has almost killed the child spirit. how ignorant and foolish?
it's a tough time for the parents, special educator and psychologists dealing this child. as i told in one of my previous posts about A-B-C(click on it to see it) of behavior modification technique. we came to know that this has happened to the child from the child himself wen we asked him why he's stealing his own and his classmates stuff and hiding them and lying, cooking stories.
*antecedent is teachers step, caused-insult to the child
*behavior- frustration and agony.
*consequence-dunno whom to tell and how to take revenge, vent out anger. so-stealing and lying.
the thief and liar in the child is not inborn but made. made by the teacher.
i hate to be a teacher. am a special educator. am gonna become 'the special educator'. i'll work hard and support all the students till the time this type of teachers exist on the planet earth. when they are extinct..world will be sans of sans. so they keep me alive forever.
One has to be empathetic. children have to be viewed from their point of view. they need empathy not sympathy. provide opportunities for excellence, sympathy is static and wont bear fruits. empathy is dynamic.
Hey, children! here i am, am here for u. no worries.
