Children who are unable to learn

Teachers and children are the two most important links in the chain related to a school. They may be looked upon in any of these two sequential ways – first the teacher, then the children; first the children, then the teacher.

New facts are coming to the fore with regard to how children learn and it is also claimed now that children construct their own knowledge. All that the teacher has to do is, create the circumstances for the child to learn with ease. Educationists also claim that eighty to ninety per cent of a child’s learning happens from his or her surrounding environment and the atmosphere at home
