Learning and Nurturing

       There is one question I would like to ask. Is there any child who could grow on his/her own without the love and care of  a mother. Well, the answer , I would give is, no. Each and every child requires the love and care of a mother or a care-taker. In the same way, a little child in the classroom requires someone to teach him and guide him throughout the learning process. Through this picture, I would like to bring in some traits that a mother and a teacher share. 
          Like a mother, the teacher takes care of the mental and intellectual growth of a child. Therefore, in the classroom, the teacher teaches  and guides the students in the way a mother guides her little ones at home. The teacher also guides her students and corrects their mistakes and shows them how to do something in the right way.The teacher also provides food for the  students' thoughts which is similar to the way a mother provides food for her children at home.
         What I would like to point out here is the fact that little students look up to their teachers as a mother. For them the teacher takes the place of the mother in the classroom.  Therefore we can say that the school is the second home of every student and it is very important for them to feel safe when they are in  one. 
       The learning environment for students should unarguably be one in which students feel free to learn . An environment in which  students can explore and learn more on their own will be conducive for students of the present day. However, the needs and requirements of each and every child must be looked-after by their teacher. The teacher must take the role of a guide or a supervisor in the classroom. The teacher must not pressure any child to learn.S/he will learn on his/her own if s/he finds the topic to be interesting. But pressure on a child will only prove to be disastrous to learning as the child will learn not out of positive motivation but out of a negative one. Therefore respecting a child's feeling toward what s/he wants to learn will go a long way in motivating a child to learn.
         Hence in trying to make the young ones in the classroom learn, teachers must take and play the role of a  mother who every child loves to be close to. Taking this role will help teachers realize that they do not only have students to learn from them, but  young ones who needed someone to take care of them while they are at school.
