Poisonous Pedagogy- a Present Treatment leading to Future Mistreatment

Character is not merely a sense that emanates or rises from within; it is mostly decided by extrinsic substances, such as culture, station, religion, and public perception. Poisonous pedagogy refers to a parenting and teaching technique that attempts to conquer a child's will by overt or covert violence, deception, and emotional blackmail. Such a toddler is besieged by arrogance and derision, deprived of privileges and conversation, duped in its attachment and trust, ignored, humiliated, and mocked in its anguish, and is blinded, lost, and cruelly exposed to the intensity of misinformed adults. To completely know a person's criminal mentality, it is not always sufficient to focus just on the individual's status; it is also vital to comprehend the individual's background, particularly what motivates them to perpetrate crime and other horrible deeds. Long-term, the developing adult would want to externalise his repressed rage because he was never permitted to comprehend and express it in nondangerous ways. Educators must consider these concepts and methodologies to provide an equivalent solution. When an individual appreciates the benefits of being both great and restrained, he or she should have considered the norms of child conduct. Although the concept of poisonous pedagogy is not new, it does need standards, approaches, and treatments. The author endeavoured to study the concept of poisonous pedagogy in the contemporary context and offer solutions for minimising it. There is an urgent need for effective treatments, exercises, arrangements, or methods that will allow the child to transition from a "silent savage child" to an "expressive decent child."
