RE: Forest Dieback & the Crushing of a Child's Spirit
You have excellently done the keyword and as the Solomon Islands is not far from where I live so I have heard about their traditions.
I will bring to your notice famous Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose proved that plants are like any other life form. Try this, go to your garden in the evening and talk to any flower plant rudely or lovingly, and then go back the next morning and see the difference. The plant's condition will reflect how you treated him.
It's the same with children how you handle them. No teacher has any right to treat children in that manner.
You live near the Solomon Islands? Interesting. I thought you were living somewhere in India.
Yes, I have heard about the theories and research related to the role of positive and loving behavior and its effect on plants and trees. I'm sure there is at least some truth in it.
I don't know about the education system else where. But here, specially in government and semi government sector, there are so many factors at play. Teaching is the most underrated and underpaid job here. What can one expect from an already demotivated teacher? And there is an issue of the obsolete syllabus and curriculum...
Thank you for your remarks really.
Maybe in unrecognized private sector schools, the teachers get low salaries otherwise in government and private schools the salary isn't that bad. Yes, I am from Delhi but I live in Canberra which is about 3000 km away from Soloman Islands. You know people in this region including New Papua Gunia and Fiji are mostly from India and half of the population of these countries resides in Australian metros and regional areas.
By the way, your write-up was top class.
I didn't know that. I hope you have a good reason for staying there :)
Thank you so much for the compliments. "Top class" — that's really very generous of you ☺️
I'm happy that you tagged me and I could write a little something on the topic.
On a side note, it was cathartic 😉
