Each individual is unique in itself. Each person is possessed with different sort of ability and disposition. Fortunate are those who realize in time with support of their decent family environment and guidance. But what about those people who later came to realize their capacity and lag behind. They find themselves difficult in coping along with privileged children but dare to head with them.
It is short narrative tale related a friend of mine who became the victim of this comparative measures of success. Once he told me that he felt very embarrassing and shameful situation when his teacher told in front of him that his other classmate is ‘bright and understand better’. My friend said that he could not sleep well for many days because of this sarcastic remark. He said that what is his fault? If he could not understand better! Who is wrong? It is student who is average or so called ‘slow learner’. Whether teacher who did not have skill to convince his or her student?
As long as, the crux of matter is concerned is very serious and subtle. It is really debatable issue. It is difficult for a naïve person to arrive at certain conclusion. But when I think back in past I find that we always appreciated and still sincerely respect out teachers who made us to have our own polimorphous understanding and enlightened our mental horizon with restless endeavor. And that teacher also took pain in convincing with utmost patience until we understood something.
But here we find different story that, people in academic after reaching even higher position ,do not have common sense to guess the negative impact of comparison of ability before students. Teachers need to introspect upon themselves that it evident proof that having taken a lot of theoretical knowledge, one is not able to convey what he/she wants to say to them. It is teachers’ epistemological belief in these pretexts that poor children understand poorly even one try his/her best. Teacher is already prejudiced about concept of learning and understanding. Such teachers is supposed to make up their own mind and come down while making judgment about students whether they are fast learner or slow at least in front of them.
