An eye opener trip to Mysore
During the Good Friday weekend I had led a brigade of 50 students and 6 teachers to Mysore. We stayed for a night at Mysore and visited the Big palace, Jaganmohan palace, the zoo, Somanthpura Kesava temple(Hoysala architecture) and Chamundi hills.
The highlight of the trip was the behaviour of the students. They were so awesome. The one who forgets to do his assignments was the most responsible. The one who whines a lot was most adaptable. The one who was fussy was so disciplined. The one who was so restless in class was so obedient. It struck me once again that we ought not to judge students within the four walls of the classroom. How happy and cheerful the children looked! They grasped so much of History, Geography, math and Science in that short trip. They learnt life skills without being taught. They were so punctual, followed instructions and had a blast too.
Wish we could do away with this stifling education system and teach them this way!
