THE SHISHUVAN PHILOSOPHY
TAKING ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS ALONG THE JOURNEY Am I dumb? Do I have a problem? Why am I singled out? Why is (s)he so special? Even I want to go to this remedial teacher. Great! We have help! We can pass on the kids to the remedial teachers. What am I supposed to do with these kids? Is there a serious problem with my child? Won’t everyone see my child differently? Will (s)he always need support? Will (s)he lead a normal life? Will my child develop a complex? Why do you need another teacher, as it is you have so many teachers in school? MANAGEMENT
