Why Your "Naughtiest" Student Might Be the Smartest | Neena Manchanda | BEU Ep. 12
Is teaching a profession, a calling, or both?
In the twelfth episode of Business Education Unfiltered, Malay Vadalkar sits down with Neena Manchanda, educator and creator of Ask Neena Teacher, to uncover the realities of the teaching profession that rarely get discussed.
From classroom management and student psychology to the hidden potential behind so-called "naughty" students, Neena shares practical insights from years of experience in education. She discusses the challenges teachers face, the misconceptions surrounding student behavior, and why empathy, observation, and communication are essential skills for every educator.
The conversation also explores the physical and emotional demands of teaching, the importance of nurturing curiosity, and how great teachers shape not just academic success but lifelong character and confidence.
