Students Blogs

This is my second year as educator and I am very satisfied with my profession. Interacting with students everyday is itself a blessing. Myself being millennial, it is an altogether different experience interacting with Gen Z’s and Gen Alpha’s.

Students have abundant energy, incredible imagination and great exposure to technology. Consequently, teachers also have to keep their skills and knowledge up to date which is a nice learning experience.

When exams get nearer, teachers try to take as much revision as possible with only intention that their students succeed with flying colours. Finally when results are out, teachers are happy and excited as much as parents.

Throughout all these phases, teachers also try their best to groom their students as a nice human being. Obviously, teacher has many dimensions to their profession and I am truly privileged being a teacher. 

Understanding Children’s Changing Behaviour with Teachers Today

In today’s fast-changing world, children’s behaviour with their teachers has evolved significantly. The traditional image of a classroom—where teachers were unquestioned authority figures and students listened silently—has gradually given way to a more interactive and expressive environment. This shift brings both positive developments and new challenges that deserve thoughtful understanding.

One noticeable change is that children today are more confident and outspoken. They are encouraged at home and through media to express opinions, ask questions, and voice their feelings. In classrooms, this often translates into healthy discussions, curiosity, and creativity. Many students now see teachers not just as instructors, but as mentors and guides, which helps build a friendly and supportive learning atmosphere.

However, this growing confidence sometimes crosses into a lack of boundaries. Some children struggle with discipline, patience, and respectful communication. The easy access to information through technology can also make students question teachers more frequently, occasionally in an inappropriate manner. When guidance at home and school is not aligned, children may fail to understand the importance of manners, tone, and respect while interacting with their teachers.

Another important factor influencing behaviour is parenting style. Modern parents are more involved and protective, which is positive, but over-intervention can sometimes reduce a child’s accountability. When children are not taught to accept correction gracefully, they may react defensively to feedback from teachers. This can affect the teacher-student relationship and the overall classroom environment.

At the same time, teachers today are adapting to these changes with empathy and innovation. Many focus on building emotional connections, setting clear expectations, and encouraging mutual respect rather than fear-based discipline. Schools are also emphasizing value education, social skills, and emotional intelligence to help children develop balanced behaviour.

In conclusion, children’s behaviour with teachers nowadays reflects broader social changes. While confidence and openness are strengths, they need to be guided with respect, discipline, and empathy. A strong partnership between parents and teachers is essential to help children understand that respect and freedom can coexist. When nurtured thoughtfully, this evolving dynamic can lead to a more meaningful, positive, and effective learning experience for everyone involved.
