    Reflection on Every Child is Special

    Every Child is Special

    Every teacher plays an important role in the development of his/her


    students. This one holds true in the movie “Every Child is Special” which
    is about the boy, Ishaan Awasthi, who was suffering from dyslexia and the
    teacher who changed his life. Ishaan had difficulty in recognizing letters
    and numbers and could hardly read and write. The condition his parents and
    his teachers had no idea of. Because no one understood him, he felt
    different from the rest. Parents and teachers thought he’s dumb and lazy.
    These gave him a feeling of isolation.

    The kind of relationship we build to the young ones greatly affects how
    they perceive themselves and what they will become. The lack of patience,
    love and kindness and most especially knowledge of one’s physical,
    intellectual and emotional condition can make one feels unworthy and
    unwanted.

    In the movie, Ishaan met Mr. Ram Shankar Nikumbh, a substitute art teacher.
    With his persistence to help the young boy, he found out the boy’s
    condition and so offered extra time to teach him in areas he had not
    mastered yet. For me, the character of Mr. Ram Shankar Nikumbh shows us
    some qualities of a great teacher. A teacher who does not only teach, but
    inspires as well. A teacher who is not afraid to use unique and
    unconventional ways in teaching his pupils. Furthermore, a teacher who
    exhibits a broad knowledge of Psychology in teaching and using positive
    approaches in dealing and addressing students’ concerns. The teacher’s
    persistence to truly understand the boy changes everything. From a lazy,
    dumb boy as others thought he was, turned a very smart and gifted boy in
    the end. An artist to remember.

    Oftentimes we are blinded by the strict rules and high standards in meeting
    academic requirements, that, we fail to see the person’s worth. We believe
    that an underperforming child, someone who can hardly read and write and
    demonstrate certain skills and knowledge in the given situation is not
    worth of our time. In my personal point of view, teachers should help a
    child in every way they can. They should look into the child’s potentials
    as a learner and of what motivates a child and what does not. Other than
    a having a broad knowledge on subject-matter, curriculum and standards,
    teachers must have strong desire to make a difference in the lives of
    young people.
