How can Philosophical discussions help in a motivational way in classrooms both Teachers and Students?

It is often said that lessons and classrooms look like cages or even worse prisons.
Students may feel tortured and teachers equally!!!!Why is that?Because obviously something is missing....
And what could that be?Have we ever thought about dealing with our tutorial subject from the perspective of philosophising?ie from the perspective of discussing it through not only the theoretical basis BUT also from the view of a more either alligorical approach or by giving examples taken from the everyday life.
That requires the inner spiritual and philosophical evolution and observing of the trainer towards their students.and Philosophy is indeed a basic help  on both.And what we gain afterwards?Of course the positive attitude not only in the class but in life in general.And this is a matter of great importance in the field of Pedagogy.
Beeing positive and keeping a positive in every hard situation in life is indeed a sign of a mind that can trully philosophise life and has adopted quite well the skill of adaptability.
Adaptability comes when we have ballanced our mind by thinking
 not in a notious way but with facts and free from the deamons of the past.Philosophy can help us transform such deamons in motives for trying again and achieving the right results and neither in negligence nor in negativity of acting.
Classroom is Not a prison !!!

Dealing and controling Pain

Attitude in classroms

Can Philosophy help on dealing with PAIN?

The pain (in the general meaning of it)creates the need to seek for the truth.Otherwise one would feel so convenient hypnotized like being in a komma.One_as Osho says_should be grateful to pain,beca

use it keeps us on alert and causes/motivates us to find a way to overcome it.

When you inhale,imagine that you inhale all the sadness,all the darkness of all mankind/humanity.You inhale all the negativity,all the hell existing everywhere,all over around you.Let your depth of your HEART to absorb these things.

When you exhale,let come out all the joy that you keep in your inner depths,all the happiness,all the blessings.Exhale by letting yourself to pure into the whole existence.This is what compassion means.Take inside you all the pain and give out all the compassion.Then one will feel compassion and love for themselves.
From the moment that you will take in you the pain of the world,it will not be pain any more.he heart is a soothing power and automatically transformes the pain into energy.

Of course this procedure cannot happen in a day or two and defenatelly not on our own.This is the point that philosophy on life’s matters can help.And a dialogue in a philosophical basis is always needed and helpful as well.
