Buzzing mobile
phones on silent mode, Polyphonic
ringtones with bizarre songs,
cacophonous whispers, heads muffled with headphones , popping eyes glued to
screen of laptops and nimble fingers adroitly browsing WebPages decks the desks
of modern classrooms dotted with self proclaimed genius students.
In between stands a poor teacher making frantic efforts to make some sense
through his lectures to the students hoping that it will impart some insights
to them and will render them illuminated and enlightened one. Pitted against
this superlative degree of teacher’s piousness, student’s approach is
punctuated with an undercurrent of apathy and sheer indifference where they
fail to reciprocate at all. Is it not an act of disgrace and defilement where
even portal of knowledge instead of being sanctified through the resonance of
thought provoking lectures, is stigmatized because of flimsy and fallacious
teaching pedagogic skill of a teacher? Is it not a pointer towards the fact
that modern day’s student being starved of ethical values are enticed to
disrupt the smooth functioning of the
classes out of the gear and relish to make the classroom bedlamite by their profligate acts that goes beyond all limits of decency
and decorum ? Let’s leave our mudslinging habits of ascribing the very reasons
that leads to fixation of onus either on students or the teachers. What is desperately
desiderated is an act of putting ourselves on bedrock of self introspection
that will suffice enough to spell out reasons that has led to the fizzled and fragile
status of our educational edifice. Attuning student’s mind with curriculum
aimed to augment their lore remains the avowed goal of any teacher but, at times
teachers cut a sorry figure and fail to leave indelible imprints on student’s
mind through their tautological and banal lectures tempered with monotony .Such
lectures fail to stir student’s mind as these are not loaded with wealth of erudite
details. What further aggravates the condition is teacher’s antiquated style of
teaching and enfeebled communicative skills. Teachers owe more onerous
obligatory duties towards students as they are saddled by the society to mould student’s
mind and pack it with moralistic impulses .They have to set exemplary examples of
extraordinary expositional teachings;should be larded with brilliant insights
and sparkling wits. If such high degree of teaching techniques are espoused and
enforced by our teachers then obviously anarchic condition of our classrooms
can be substantially remedied otherwise; propulsion of steep decline will
further deteriorate the conditions. It is up to discretion of teaching
community that whether they want to be adored by their students or to be thrown
into limbo of oblivion for betraying their students just because of not
establishing empathetic bond with them.
