History and geography seem to be interesting, now that I need not write the exams.... Bronze age, Ashoka, the World Wars, Landforms and Industries across India... 'Why did I miss the fun around learning these facts during the school days', is the question that comes to mind now.... might be the fear of being tested in remembering them... that sliptest on India and its features when I got 11 out of 25 still sends jitters in my spine and gives me nightmares!! It has permanently marred my aptitude for dates and maps and made me believe that Social is not for me!!
Today, while reading and helping the kids understand them, I feel so happy to note the details and assimilate their significance with a fresh mind and in a new perspective!!
While the content of textbooks is created with a powerful vision of facilitating children imbibe the knowledge and equipping them with the material necessary to build their understanding of the subject, it is equally important to develop efficient methods of pedagogy and implement novel learning procedures that enable the young minds comprehend the inherent sophistication!!
