Conversation Between Student & Teacher

Not to the same extent – partly because the subject matter I’m usually dealing with doesn’t quite offer the variety or the opportunity to engage in such prolific discussions. This is not to say that I don’t like a debate… I do occasionally stir one myself especially when we have topics surrounding business ethics and such.

well here my focus was more towards students. i was more willing to know whether student actually come to you and talk/discuss anything. i actually find this a lot that we students tend to go away from our teachers. we never actually try to find out about our teachers. i personally think it is very necessary. our teachers put effort to read our minds, but in return why not we try to find out what brought our teachers to this level of excellence.

i personally get to know about my professor who actually never been to any university. but he is teaching Architectural Design at UFT. That was the first time actually i started seeking the importance of knowledge- and education (that we get).

You’re most welcome to do so but for that you’ll have to drop by in a couple of my lectures or seminars. Otherwise, your opinion may just be curtailed by what you know of my style through my interactions online.

first of all i dont think uncle you are actually some sarial uncle
atleast no teacher in canada is actually sarial.
they are fun loving people (well atleast all my teachers and professors, in fact they taught me how make my each moment, energetic )

but the problem i have is with this

students need to pass ALL course components in order to pass the course. So, even if somebody gets a 100% on the exams, but only get 40% on an assignment, they can’t pass.

to me its like enforcing students to memorize INFORMATION. And you know we students gonna come up with new ways to dodge our teachers (dunia idher ke udher hogeya, na hum perhain gain na likhain gain).

-so far the best way i think to actually make us learn something, is to give us X-chances to do the test/assignments/projects, iff teachers really want us to learn something. at least we will be fair with ourselves, with our teachers, and most importantly with ALLAH SWT.

-sorry to say, but i cant see current education is building any moral values in us. we are just getting learnt to be “Lakeer k fakeer”, with a zero sense of how to integrate knowledge we availed, into our real life (or vice versa)

You’re entitled to your opinion but tell me again, how many years of practical experience have you had outside of school? The link between school and your life outside of school is really a cybernetic one… one aspect informs the other through a feedback loop of sorts, and you can’t discount either one. Tis all good though… we all pass through this phase of life where we have a concise and snapshot view of the world – mostly through second hand information through books and other people’s experiences… fortunately I can smile as I say it cuz it wasn’t too long ago for me.

• to seek the rationality, why you think i need hundreds of years of wandering to know what practicality is all about?
  (if you think i am being naive here and my words reveal zero experience then dont answer my * concern.)
