Issues in Education: An Adult-world with their own Modes of Thought.

A teacher remarked, “Every person needs space; relaxation and time and an ideal place could be the staff room.” If an adult needs a personal space to grow, what about the personal space of a child?

Is perfect education possible if the teachers are very human? One can never find a perfect system; the growth is possible only when one is a part of an imperfect human society. The principle to check this assumption is possibly this – “everyone gives according to the measure one receives.” I also can say that one sees the world in the way one has been constructing the inner world through the variety of the encountered experiences. When Piaget suggests a co-operative relationship in education, he is suggesting a possible world of education wherein the teachers and students are perpetual learners. There is no coercion and dominance but only reciprocity and sharing.

But every teacher must be aware of the human fragility; for instance one rightly remarked that the children are the best observers. Hence, one student observed that a teacher is moody in the photo. Therefore, being aware one must be able to say in the first person – “I am angry”, “I am moody” rather than pretending to be the perfect teacher.
