To Chuckle or not to Chuckle? | Jayshree Krishnan | TEDxGoodShepherdIntlSchool
Jayshree asks a question we all ought to sit with: Why does our sense of humor fade as we grow older? In her eyes, humor isn’t just for the playground or punchlines—it’s power. She believes laughter can break tension, bridge gaps, and breathe life into even the most serious moments.Especially in the classroom, she says, humor is magic. It transforms lectures into conversations, confusion into curiosity, and students into active, eager learners. For Jayshree, a well-timed joke isn’t a distraction—it’s a teaching tool. Her message is clear: don’t just teach minds—tickle them a little too. Jayshree Krishnan is an educator dedicated to empower students to think critically about the world. Passionate about the irreplaceable role of great teachers. She believes that no technology can replicate the human connection, adaptability, and inspiration that a skilled educator brings to the classroom. Learning is not just about knowledge acquisition but about fostering curiosity and resilience towards enlightenment without losing the joy of being alive!
