Even though some of the students have a wrong idea at-least  they expressed their ideas to the teacher.

Analysis

1. Why is a classroom a miniature of a greater society?

The classroom represents a greater society because it is composed of different kinds of people that the society had. The teacher represents the leader of the society while the students represents the citizens. The teacher will set some rules to be agreed and followed by the students. All of them will work hard as one society to achieve their common goal.

Any human interaction that you can observed in the society can also be seen inside the classroom.Society had different kinds of people as well as the classroom, there were the bossy type, the bully, the introvert, the loud and all other attitudes can be observed in the classroom.

Reflection

Inside and outside the classroom, we can see or observed the different interaction that usually happened also in the society. We can encounter different kinds of people with different attitudes and as a future teacher we always need to interact with these kinds of people so that we will know he to handle them in the future.
