In School, we don’t deal with inanimate objects, or robots or machinery. We deal with living, breathing, thinking, emotional and a tad bit over dramatic youngsters who deserve nothing less than very best. What we say and do in classroom has an impact and that is something which always matters.  BDMI’s teachers follow some unique tricks to keep the class environment positive and bring the best out of each student. One of the main tools of operation to keep the pulse of classroom positive is humour. Once we learn the trick to inject humour into our lessons at the right time and in the right context and actually get a laugh or two, we can feel relax. Once we relax, our happy attitude radiates throughout the classroom almost visibly changing bored looks and hunched shoulders into eager learners, who while waiting for our next punchline start to listen. Another way to inject positivity is to make the learner feel ‘safe’ as soon as we walk in –Our positive attitude matters,...

Please read the following points about good study habits which help your child succeed Get Organized:  Between homework, tests, and extracurricular activities, it’s all too easy for things to slip through the cracks.
