Solution
1. Yes , Rahul is a victim of circumstances in one way because he is born to poor parents . This way he can be called an unlucky boy , moreso , because of this father
2. his classmates' reaction is normal as usually one's classmates behave like that . what Rahul should do is to tell his teachers of it . This will stop them to make fun . of him or ridicule him .
3. No , rahul should not go to another school . He must learn to stand on his own legs . Leaving the school won't do . this will make him more sad and depressed.
4. Rahul's teacher is not at fault because he doesn't know what's happening to Rahul unless he is told of it . I am sure if his teacher gets to know of it . he will help Rahul to regain confidence in himself .
5. Yes, it is a fact that children require individual attention as they have different traits. Secondly , they need to be told of the problems faced by their students . They are not gods to know what is happening to their students in their absence .
6.Yes, we really need more people like Mrs. Mini. In fact, the race of such people like Mini has come to a big zero. The reason being that all are stressed due to their own problems. These have made them stone hearted, self-centred and selfish.
