Ratta Maar seems to be the philosophy of today's students. The quest for knowledge is increasingly taking a backseat in such cases. Going to schools for grades rather than education is becoming the norm. With parents also encouraging this culture more and more, solely to boast their child's 99% to relatives and friends, children are undergoing a lot of pressure. Our education system as a structure is a great approach, as in the 10+2+3 system, which aims to advance the quality of content. However, the quality in reality seems to be missing. The lust for engineering, medicine, and the new entrant MBA is zooming at the speed of a light year.
Children of working parents are put into care centres, then play schools, immediately followed by kindergarten, and school education follows. There seems to be a competition among parents even for the fastest crawling toddler. This immense competition is taking a toll on children and not letting them experience the joy of childhood. Education means the overall development of a child's personality, but it looks like the opposite. E-schools, Zee schools, i-schools, smart schools, but there is no normal school that focuses on basic education. The definition of school has become a 'grilled and grilling' place of continuous bombardment with an almost dyslexic flood of information.
There are no extra-curricular and physical activities. They have been replaced by computer classes, IIT coaching, etc. There is no playing outside, making them couch potatoes, and their best friend is the idiot box. Without a proper playground and back-to-back classes with tuition hours included, children are increasingly dependent on technology for comfort.
Overprotective parents, who do not give their child a chance to discover the outside world, give them an iPhone with the 'Google' world in their hands. Parents, it is high time you give your kids a chance to just breathe. Do not join them in summer camps this time to get them off your back. Send them to their grandparents who are a treasury of information, stories, and experiences. Show them the beauty of a village, show them how to experiment and interact, how to speak to people, how to sleep under the sky and fall asleep counting the stars. Do not deprive them of their childhood; let them live.
