Teacher­Student Relationship:­
The teacher is essentially a nation builder. He/She is the torch bearer of the human race. Teacher ­ Student relationship takes place in classrooms. Teachers impart knowledge and students learn by obseving, listening, understanding and expressing. As learning is a competition with oneself, teachers promote independent thinking and discover facts through analytical and experimental methods. Knowledge of students is evaluated continuously and comprehensively through various ratings namely IQ tests (oral and written), research, Survey, Criticism, experiments and written examinations. Results are shown to parents through progress reports in every mid term and term to watch over the progress of their wards. Weak students are specially cared and attended by teachers as per the principal­ teacher evaluation sessions done monthly.
