Tourette is a syndrome, either the kind of Tourette that Ma’am Naina
have or the Tourette that everyone have in the story. This movie brought us inside the world of the students as well as the teachers. We can feel the sincerity of teaching and the love for learning. A story of overcoming our fears and accepting our flaws. Believing on ourselves and persevering. Showing us how we can embrace differences and describing what normal means. When everybody else say that it is not normal, Ma’am Naina believed that what she have is normal and those students of class 9F are just normal students that needs equal opportunities.
Every character imparted us a lesson and a challenge to take on.
Specially, Ma’am Naina who teaches teacher on becoming a good teacher for a student. It is so inspiring how she never give up on becoming a teacher. She fights for her belief that she is born to be a teacher. Despite her weakness, the strength she had showed is incomparable. At first, I pity her for no school nor teacher accepted her. She always ended up not getting accepted in schools when she was a kid and even now that she is a teacher. But what caught me is that, she is not the one that I should be pitying of, it should be those people whose mindset is more than the Tourette syndrome. It does not affect her intellect and her way of teaching. Even if no one accepted her just like her father, she herself, accepted who she is. I understand how eager she is to be a teacher because one teacher. Mr.Khan, treated her like everybody else in that same school. That is also why she have a strong faith towards those students of 9F. For those students did not feel the belongingness that she didn’t feel neither. Class of 9F feel that they do not belong to the school and they were meant to fail. Ma’am Naina changed that view and started to dig dipper for 9F class to show their smart minds and give their all hearts. She wanted them to strengthen their wings and fly. Not to blame others nor their situations for what is happening but to start in becoming better. They are those paper planes who are made to fly just like how Mam Naina believed that she can fly. Those students are not bad they are only becoming rebellious because of the way the school treats them. She believes in the goodness and brightness of her students. In every troubles that the class were involved, I was moved on how Ma’am Naina strongly fight for them. Even if all her co-teachers tell her that 9F are failure and will never be changed, she saw what others cannot see to them. All students are good, teachers just need to divert the negativities they have to a positive energy that will soon result to excellence. This basically opened my mind to see things through. To believe and not to judge or make a conclusion toward others. Along the flow of the story, I admired her on being persistent in teaching her student after they were suspended. The dedication, love and support she have given to those students are really worth praising for.
Every students deserve a perfect badge and a Mam Naina teacher
deserve all the gratitude a student can give. Hichki changed the mindset of the characters toward the kind of syndrome Ma’am Niana have and that of all the characters have. The belief that students are hopeless are a kind of syndrome for a teacher to conquer himself/ herself. It is the teachers job to be their hope and be the pole star that will guide their wings to fly. This leave as the lesson to overcome our hichkis or flaws for we are more than that. We are all good learners who have the love to learn. There are just some teachers who do it in a wrong way. Truly, there are no bad students, only bad teachers. Are you going to be Mr. Wadia or Niana Ma’am. Spread your arm and be the pole star that will help young minds to be in a right direction.
