Who made whom?

Who Made whom!The teachers made the students or did the students make the teachers!
I would say a bit of both!The accepted view would be that"the teachers made the students"
But I strongly believe that the group of students that congregated in those magic years were some of the best-the very best.It was unique melting pot!Children are to some extent replicas of the parents and we had a multi-lingual,multi-religious and multi-ethnic group that could not have been be replicated ever!I learnt from my class mates as much as I learnt from my teacher.No one could give me a lesson on Himachal Pradesh,than Ramesh Chand Dayal who was from those parts.About Naval ships-could anyone have given me a better lesson than my class mates-not even my teachers.

So friends my verdict is both made each other.It was exciting and magic!

Pijush,
I just could not help jumping into this area. It is the fundamental of education. There is an area of education and research that I was obliquely a part of. I am appending that below for all to see. It is useful in the way we also educate our children.

Pijush is 100% on the mark.

Social Constructivism

• This extends above ideas into a social group constructing things for one another, collaboratively creating a small culture of shared artifacts with shared meanings.
