7C- labelled as Most Undisciplined classes

I seldom watch soaps on television, the other day I happened to watch one on Vijay TV Tamil called '7C'. This is about School, Students and Teachers. 7C is a labeled as problematic class also. This reminded me of my school days. Even my class was labelled as "undisciplined", "noisy", "worst" class in the school and every teacher had one or another complain against us. Fortunately, the teacher of the class is very fond of his class students and is striving hard to improve their learning skills and so on. This is probably something happening in the soap and not in reality.

Well, then I encountered that they had similar complaints against all- for one substantial reason being most of the students did not perform well at studies and were probably up to the expectation level of the teachers.
Now, I put it this way, perhaps, it  was or is teachers who failed to come down to the students' level, understand the understandable capacity of the students, as a better teaching aid and make learning easy and enjoyable. So, it's the "TEACHERS" who failed and just pass on the blame on students. It's easy isn't it?????

Though, I still have high regards for my teachers and for some of them I still remember and also talk about them with my son, friends and so on.

One of the subject teachers of my son's school also has a similar notion about his class. He is also in Grade 7 but not 7C. She was complaining that-"I really wonder how they have come without learning the basics". This is the question that has to be put the former grade teachers not the students. I would say, till grade 10, every aspect of learning is basics-every year of learning adds to the basic learning, be it English, Languages, Science, Maths of Social Science. It is in-depth and proper learning of basic that stands as firm "FOUNDATION" that determines the students to choose his/her career choice.

Yet another visible problem is "TEACHERS WANTED"--very hard to find good, dedicated, interested, passion for teaching Teachers. Though there is a demand for teachers and not for teachers who have a passion for teaching.  Again, the profession and remuneration  given is not adequate and does not give proper recognition. This is again yet another big problem of dedicated teachers losing enthusiasm over a period.

This again reminds me that each occupation has its own related occupation hazard over a period of time. This could be the reason of providing welfare measures to recharge themselves, overcome monotonous or routine schedule and meaningful breaks helps them to perform better. Well. I am not sure such a thing happening with teachers teaching even at corporate schools.


Anyway, in every school one class or section gets labelled as "MOST UNDISCIPLINED CLASS"
