    Every Child is Special

    21 December 2007
    Taare Zameen Par/Initial release

    The film educates the audience about dyslexia and promotes the idea


    that every child should be treated with love and respect despite his or
    her faults.

     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.
