Ode to a Teacher“My favourite teacher is
Mrs. Patras. She teaches us
by giving examples… She
is simple and sweet. She is
strict in teaching but her way
is simple... because of her,
our class is no 1 in discipline.
She is the best teacher in our
school. I love her.”
—Aditya Goyal, Class 1, via email

The article Mean Little Girls in
your August issue was the story
of my 5-year-old daughter. We
move cities frequently and my
little one has met new sets of
people every time. Sadly, most
of them haven’t been nice to
her. Initially, I used to join in
with my own tears when she was
shunned. But now I give her long,
tight hugs each time she feels
dejected. On our way to school
we sing a Tagore song together:
Jodi tor daak shune keu na ashe
tobe akla cholo re (If they answer
not to thy call, walk alone). It
gives her the courage to fi ght
the odds through the day.
