As schools and teachers are we happy simply producing academically brilliant children? Somewhere aren’t we also responsible for the ‘kind’ of individuals our students will turn out to be when they grow up? Let’s make our schools a more caring, sharing and compassionate place and show our students through examples the kind of human beings they must be.

How often have we not heard the joke about a panda who eats, shoots, and leaves? Everytime we hear this joke it reminds us of the importance of punctuation in our language.

Here are some fun exercises for you to introduce punctuation and help build an easy relationship for your students with a little bit of grammar.

When we teach we touch the future. And that is why a teacher’s job comes with a lot of responsibility. This responsibility of moulding a future generation we will be able to truly fulfill only when we look upon our students as our own children and teach them the way we would want our own children to be taught.

If there is an area more difficult to teach than the others in English literature it is poetry. Some say poems will mean different things to different people, so then how do you teach it? Others say the poet had a definite meaning that he wanted his readers to grasp. But with the poet no more who is to say what the poet thought? Teachers discuss different strategies in our staff room.

Trying to set right bad behaviour by merely punishing the child may not be the right way to go. Bad behaviour can be beaten only when the child understands why what he is doing is wrong/bad. The child has to realize the effect that his bad behaviour is producing. This article gives you a brilliant suggestion on how to curtail bad behaviour in the classroom.

Perhaps these are better times to be a teacher in than it once was. At least as far as accessibility to teaching material is concerned. If once you had to go through many a book in the library or sit for hours together for inspiration to strike, these days teaching materials on whatever topic are available for plenty. The trouble is at the click of a mouse you get more than you bargain for. So how does one sort through the endless links on the internet to get just what you want for your class? While you may not get exactly what you are looking for you certainly will find enough material to adopt and tweak it to suit your classroom.
