I am writing after two years,for the feeling is so intense and its like
"I actually knew this all along, that school is just an extension of home and I am a mother first and till the end".
When I started out as a teacher, it was a profession. I had to deliver and measured my SUCCESS by the performance of my students.
Oh! but what a beautiful feeling it is to grow gracefully into a mother. For now when I enter the class,
I am so sensitive to each and every expression on those faces.
I know when they smile or just nod their head,
I am more concerned when I see a kid tired,
I am particular that they first relax after their PT period before they open their math books,
We should be comfortable as a group inside the class room and when all those facial muscles are relaxed, I know I can start. Its ok to loose few minutes.
I am particular that if the kid is not feeling up to it, he/she should put their head down and rest. You can always learn it when you are fine...
And guess what a reward I got, for the first time in my 5-6 years of teaching math this kid came and said "thank you mam, I really enjoyed today's class". Well obviously, we had revision worksheets done under the trees, in the park.
Learning : When my kids are cared for, learning happens naturally!
