training teacher trainer - immediate priority!

why is that i always feel uncomfortable with the teacher training? may be trainings are really shobby. it so happened, i was leading discussion on teacher training with few 'reputed', 'known' resourceful trainers on quality of training.

listen, all the training is good. you know, teacher don't follow what's said in the training hall. i was thinking, why blame teachers! when activity based teaching is taught through lecture. surprised. this is what happens. and discussion went on . so if training content was good, then why none of them follow. we have been doing training for decades, how come fault would be in training or content. problem is with perception and attitude of not changing with the times. i did not feel like leaving till i am convinced. so i asked, what if teachers don't understand what you teachers. no, that doesnot happen, teachers are very clever. teacher follow, if someone is after them to do.

so, who is that who can follow up training. the administrative structure that is meant for. oh! someone traines and someonelse follows up. there is no follow up, i heard with a bang. administrators don't do their job! they have somany schools, so they don't follow up at schools.
i heard someone saying,

rule no. 1: teachers should visit schools
rule no. 2: visited teacher should attend and be in class
rule no. 3: teacher in the classroom has to teacher, no option

so back to square one, problem is with teacher!!!

but i was told, problem is with administrators. that's a part of problem. teacher trainers also lack skills to train. someone said, there are 20 days of training, me and teacher is paid for it. so what's big deal in training. training model is prepared at the state level by someone. almost one decade old training modules, who cares. who bells tha cat? and bigger question, who is the cat and who would tie the bell. when was last time teacher trainers received any sort of training in knowledge of their area, skill of delivering the training, stature of a trainer? hope i would be able to address these issues at the earliest. because these were my yesterday's agenda and i don't have time. energy and initiative, yes i can do it. resources, someone would come to my rescue when required.
there are solutions, we'll discuss over a period of time.
am i sounding too satiristic? tomorrow about a 'good school' and a 'good teacher'

what ails to

why aren't we able to influence elementary education. today we see mushrooming of schools and colleges in the cities. is any one realizing what's happening in the villages. schools have no children! why does village parent send sibling to schools, certainly for better future. what if future is uncertain and crippled by lack of facilities.
it is been 60 years, we are still where we were? we used to blame british for the lack of support for elementary education. now, whom should a parent blame? is any one listening?
yes, we have been through the government schooling but we are in better position. oh! things were different, then. why and where does gap exists?
let us look at spending on the schools, schools are with material and matter (building), few without! each government schools (primary, 1-5 class), irrepespective of enrollment, gets about Rs. 5000 (school grant), Rs. 5000 (maintenance grant), Rs. 500 (TLM grant), about 2k+ for drinking water, sanitation and what not.
every year, Rs. 3000 is spent on each child for educating (mind you, literacy skill) and aghast! not all children of class 4 can read class 2 or 3 text book. leave alone other non academic orientation.
i will also try to speak on teacher training, classroom practices, all in the context of government schools...
