What Your Child’s Primary Teacher Wishes You Knew - In conversation with Ms. Arti Dixit (IB PYP)

In this episode, I sit down with Ms. Arti, an experienced educator who has worked with both CBSE and IB schools for nearly two decades, to understand primary education from a teacher’s perspective. What does a child really need during the primary years? Are parents focusing too much on marks and academic performance? How can parents support learning without putting unnecessary pressure on their children? And what can parents in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities learn from different approaches to education? We talk about the realities of the primary classroom, the changing expectations from parents, CBSE and IB approaches, foundational learning, communication, confidence, curiosity, and the role parents can play in helping children become independent and lifelong learners. This conversation is particularly relevant for parents who want to understand what happens beyond textbooks, homework and marks and how they can create a healthier learning environment for their children. Do you agree with Ms. Arti’s perspective? What has been your experience as a parent or teacher? Share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section. I would love to hear from you. #parentingtips #primaryeducation #cbse #ibeducation #education #Parents #childdevelopment #learning #tier2cities #Tier3Cities #indianeducation #parentinginindia
