Q1. "True leadership is not about authority but about
responsibility."
Shomie Das believed in giving students real responsibilities, whether managing
a school facility or leading an expedition. As educators, we are not just
imparting knowledge but shaping future leaders. How can we integrate
leadership-building opportunities in everyday teaching to help students take
ownership of their learning and growth?
Q2. "Always challenge children to take risks and
navigate their own lives." – Kurt Hahn
Shomie emphasized hands-on learning through outdoor camps, projects, and
community work. He knew that learning happens beyond textbooks and in real-world experiences. How can we design learning experiences that push students out of
their comfort zones while ensuring meaningful growth and resilience?
Q3. "The purpose of education is not just to fill minds
but to ignite them."
Shomie believed that education should be liberal, inquiry-driven, and dynamic. He challenged students and teachers alike to think beyond set patterns. How can
we cultivate a classroom culture that encourages curiosity, critical thinking,
and independent learning among students?
Q4. "Adaptability is the cornerstone of educational
progress."
Shomie Das navigated challenges—whether modernizing schools, introducing
co-education, or handling unexpected crises. His ability to adapt while staying
true to his educational vision made a lasting impact. How can we, as educators,
embrace adaptability in our teaching methods to cater to the evolving needs of
students and the changing world?
