“Teacher are life blood of success of the schools ...teaching is a creative profession. But not a delivery system”
“ human beings are naturally  different and diverse”
“If you get two children or more ...they are completely different from each other”
“If you can spark of curiosity in a child, they will learn without any further assistance, very often”
“Teacher are life blood of success of the schools ...teaching is a creative profession. But not a delivery system”
“ ...in the end,  teaching is about learning, if there is no learning going on, there is not education going on”
