Dropouts

Vishnu what is this forum.

I had not understood this.

@Vishnu

Can you please explain me what is this drop out means?

Dropouts - Individual attention in schools and colleges; is that the way to stop students to drop out? :(

how can you provide induvidual attention to every student...i don't think it is possible ..normally the teacher : student ratio in schools is around 40:1...i think that needs to be reduced...

It was not quite understand what is the forum is all about please verify it.

By reading deepaks answer I understood the theme of the forums, Some of our friends said that it is difficult. But if they really want students to be in good position then we should take pains to help the students individually

what is dropout here? will you please clear.

Sarala what you told is not understandable.Will you explain about this.

sasikanth, first i didnt understood what is this drop out and all. but later after reading the reply of the deepak i understood that it is about taking care of students studies. So deepak said that we cannot take care of studies of every individual student. But i feel that we can take those pains by taking care of every individual student studies.I feel a teacher will successful when their student will be successful in their career.

It is not possible to take care of each and every student but there is a way the class teacher know that which student is weak by concentrating on them it will be easy for to improve weak students also.

Class teacher can give more attention to weak students. And if drop -outs here means decreasing no of admission in school then there are many reasons like poverty, illiteracy of parents and various other reasons for it.

Learning is a continuous process and it becomes real when there is a meaningful meeting of the mind of a teacher and that of a pupil. Though a learner is the most important factor but the teacher has no less an important place in the organized education pattern. So, in this case, a teacher needs to be a person of both head and heart...!

yes, class teacher can concentrate on weak students by spending more time like study hours and all

i agree....teachers need to understand who their weaker students are and concentrate a bit more on them.hence dropout can be reduced.

the reasons you have provided are quite true...poverty makes children into child labourers and make them skip schools. illiteracy and unemployment of parents are other factors.

Really sorry that you people were not able to understand the post. Thanks to deepak for explaining it. Dropouts in schools and colleges are increasing year by year. I think those kind of students should be given special attention. The reasons behind these dropouts are many, the main one being family problems. The teacher to student ratio is the main concern. If we introduce a system like two class teachers(can be called staff advisors) for a class, the students can be observed well.

the idea is worth noting.but all this comes down to increasing the number of teachers in schools.it i not clear whether the government will be ready to take such actions.

When i was a teacher i used to learn subjects to students by making them able to remember every answer by speaking it again n again .

@Isha

I think as a teacher you are supposed to teach not learn!

that is really good to hear.but such individual attention cannot be provided in higher classes.

K Deepak why do you think that individual attention cannot be given in higher classes? Please clarify.
