Classrooms are important in-fact plays an important part in the whole process of education.
It is so because classroom helps the child to learn the social etiquette and nurtures him all the attributes that helps him to adjust in the society, which reflects the true meaning of education. No doubt collection of information can be possible through different ways and sources to expand wisdom but it is in this setting that instills the true spirit of education. Where the child is not a passive listener but an active participant making the use of his cognitive, affective and psycho-motor skills. (Of course teacher has a very crucial role to play). In the present society where there is tough competition and rapid slow down in the human values making the child ‘stereotyped’ classroom are important but with proper setting in terms of curricula, methods of teaching, examination system and nevertheless a motivated and educated teacher one can do justice to the child keeping the principle of “equality and equity”. To conclude with Jown Dewy, “School (Classroom) is the mini nature of the Society”.
