    Reaction Paper: Every Child Is Special

    The movie ‘Every child is special” is about a boy named Ishaan Awasthi, who is suffering from dyslexia,
    and the teacher who changed his life. Ishaan had difficulty in recognizing letters and numbers and could
    hardly read and write, a condition his parents and his teachers had no idea about. Because no one
    understood him, he felt and acted different from the rest. Parents and teachers thought he’s dumb and
    lazy. These made him felt isolated and neglected. This made me think that the kind of relationship we
    are trying to build with the young ones greatly affects how they perceive themselves and what they will
    become along with other people. The lack of patience, love and kindness, and most especially
    knowledge of one’s physical, intellectual and emotional condition, can make one feel unworthy and
    unwanted. In the movie, Ishaan met Mr. Ram Shankar Nikumbh, a substitute art teacher. With his
    persistence to help Ishaan, he found out the boy’s condition and offered extra time and effort to teach
    him in areas he is struggling with. 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 goes out of his way to inspire as well.
    A teacher who is not afraid to take an extra mile and 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 turned to
    be 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 having a
    broad knowledge on a particular subject matter, curriculum and standards, teachers must have strong
    desire and put extra mile to make a difference in the lives of young people especially their students.
