Ya ... the new look of the today's pedagogy does not surprise me. For example, years ago, when the Communist came to power in Kerala, they wanted to replace ‘Amma’ with ‘Arrival’ (the Sickle - which is the symbol in line with their ‘Hammer and the Sickle’ ideology!) in the Malayalam Text books. After a huge cry from various sections of the society, that move was rippled.

Thank God, this time, it is all about technology. But the point here is that, all these symbols are transient . The idea of such a chart is to have ‘concrete’ images of objects we can relate for life. Even in a semi-conscious state, a man should be able to utter the symbols to which his mind has attached the alphabets.

Can you take this debate to your students and find out a vote on the ' transient chart ' and a 'permanent chart' ?
