To begin
with, let me share with you, a few words of famous Author / Mathematician , A N
Whitehead , from his seminal work “ The Aims of Education “ ( 1929 ) :
“I am sure that one secret of a successful teacher is that he has formulated
quite clearly in his mind what the pupil has got to know in precise fashion. He
will then cease from half-hearted attempts to worry his pupils with memorising
a lot of irrelevant stuff of inferior importance. “
To grasp the essence of what Whitehead implies, I urge you to try out for
yourself ( no need to register or login ) :
“ Make Student Think > Questions Beyond Syllabus “
You will find this feature on >
www.My-Teacher.in
Then , when satisfied , share this “ Inquiring Intellectual Exercise “ with your
school-going children ( college-going too , will admire this )
And without knowledge of your children , look up 300 + examples of such
STIMULATING questions , which your child should be asking of > www.My-Teacher.in
, at :
For a Creative Child : Questions Beyond Syllabus
Then , to inculcate in her , a
“ Sense of Sharing “ , encourage her to use the SHARE button and share her
