Typically, some children seem to be decoupled from the whatever is happening in the class. Albeit they are small in number, but still worrisome. Its not like they are trouble maker. I wish they were, for then I could engage them one way or other. They seem disinterested in whatever goes on in the class. I have a feeling that this is not wholly due to quality of teaching or bad schooling - but something larger happening in childrens' lives .
May be we are over simulating them with all the audio, video, brightly colored life. They have seen the best, the costliest, the fanciest and coolest things. Real life must appears too dull to them. Consider then how History or Maths text book would appear to them.
It is harder now for a Teacher to turn around these children. In a job which is already extremely demanding it has become near impossible to turn around decoupled children.
Whatever this trend is, it is less present in the younger children and the apathy seem to be gradually growing upon them. So may be there is a clue in this some where.
