TO-DAY's QUESTION

 Sanjivani ,

 

 

Following is a draft for a DAILY post on Linkedin / FB

 

 

I will explain how to go about this, when I am in office tomorrow morning around 10 AM

Dear Parents – School Principals :

 

 

Today, ask your child / student, following question :

 

“   …………………………………………………………………………………….. “

 

Chances are she does not know the right answer

 

Why ?

 

Because this topic is NOT covered by CBSE school syllabus

 

But then, School Syllabus cannot possibly cover every topic on the earth

 

That is understandable

 

Your child / student not knowing that answer need not worry you much

 

But ,

 

If your child / student does not “ Know “ how to ask such a question, then that should be a cause of deep concern for you !

 

It goes to show that your child / student is not :

 

 

Ø    Curious

Ø    Inquisitive

Ø    Creative

Ø    Capable of “ thinking out of box “

 

 

Stop worrying.

 

Tell your child / student , to “ learn “ to ask such questions by :

 

Ø     Visiting   www.My-Teacher.in 

Ø     Select  “ Questions Beyond Syllabus “

Ø     Just keep asking ( even absurd sounding ) questions by just looking at things around her

 

        ( Eg : Why have tables and chairs always 4 legs and not 3 ?  )

Ø     Listen to what  www.My-Teacher.in SPEAKS aloud ( in any of 9 languages selected )

Ø     Repeat this “ Mental Exercise “ for 10 minutes, every day

 

Teach your child / student to  THINK . It is as ( or more ) important as passing exams

 

 

Regards,
