The education system in India is what compromises the Knowledge and excellent database we have in form of Books. Our books and syllabus beats most countries . They work on a easier syllabus and the same is not designed to get optimum efforts from the kid v/s their age. However we have a database or a poll of subjects that definitely is versatile. It is not the best way to learn, as everyone is not excellent in every subject. Our system does not allow students to specialize at a early age.
It does not rate students on the subjects they excel in, Our system requires every student to know everything and be multi talented to become a topper. Most toppers dont make it to the ladder as they score good in everything. Its a jack of all master of none situation.
However we do carry a knowledge base that most countries don't manage to get. Then what blocks the growth of students, Why do we have 100% education only in a single state. Why do students drop out. Why is it, that students don't make it to graduation in a lot of cases. Why is everyone not benefited from the exams and education and passing a grades in India. Why is education no assurance to knowledge in our country. Which is the one link that is missing. Knowledge is impared by the giver, The giver in our education system is the Teacher. "GURU"
Teachers are trained to bring everyone to a level of common understanding, they learn techniques and methods of explaining the same text in different forms. They learn how to teach. Their education and experience is all about making students understand. They are suppose to be experts in talking the kids language.
Our school system has most teachers, not all, Most teachers who get satisfied only by ex planing to a group of bright students. They are okay with having 14 students passing in a group of 60. They are okay with having the same person rank first every year. They don't challenge the young minds to perform better. They don't expect the students to grow out of their fears. They dont want to work hard on students who don't perform in the class, it takes personal initiative to do that . It is expected that the Parents and the tution teachers will take that initiative. Not all parents are educated, not everyone can afford a tuition. What happens to those unfortunate some. They work on easy techniques of letting anyone who raise the hand answer, and scold and beat the one who does not show interest. Why does he not show interest, How can I make my class more interesting. How can I get the attention of my audience.
Everyone is a graduate, everyone had a English Teacher, but only few know grammer. Every one had a Maths teacher but only a few managed to solve Trignometry. Teaching is an Art, but how many teachers actually learn this art. How many of them practise it. And how many go that extra mile.
India is the country that invented ZERO, but we would need another Dronacharya to teach what Aryabhatta invented. Why do we assume, that the student who does not get the mark is dull or does not understand. The teacher should be considered at fault for not being able to teach in the kids language. I guess, because this fact is unrealised we have Chattee classes and a Brilliant academy. Going to classes have become a fashion, Classes eat up all the time the kids have, leaving them with no energy to play. Which in turn results in under naturist kids and thus making them face all health challenges. Students consider studies a burden put on them rather than the foundation of their future

Fashion slip or fashion gaffe has become very common with people trying to imbibe principles of modernization. Every second person today wears a denim jeans not considering how he or she might look to the other person. “The only thing that is constant is change” defines the circumference of fashion. Fashion is the “popular” clothing style in a country or state and not the “common”. People tend to overlook the fact that fashion starts with those who are at the top most layer. As mentioned before it is a “popular” clothing style of a particular place.
Looking at the situation, how can a person not be a piece of entertainment to the rest of the world?
It isn’t very difficult to answer. Even the simplest of clothes can make you look presentable if you follow a few steps mentioned below.
· Avoid a lot of colors as a lot of colors are likely to make you look like an animal from the zoo. It is very catchy but not good enough to be worn outside the changing room. There are different types of colors you can choose from. Try choosing a cloth with not more than 2-3 colors. Try choosing colors that look good when together. For e.g.: red and black.
· Don’t be obsessed with matching sandals, matching make up etc because it is a passé now. Instead, try wearing dark sandals with dark clothes. While choosing shoes or sandals choose universal colors like black. Flats are always a good choice.
· Avoid wearing clothes that haven’t been ironed for centuries. Such clothes have an impact on the kind of character you have. Ironed clothes can always make you a better person in the eyes of on lookers.
· Avoid wearing clothes that have too many fabrics or patterns. For e.g.: shirts which have 40% of denim and 60% of cotton. Such clothing is awful to even look at.
· If your complexion is dark, avoid bright clothes. They make you look even darker. Go for shades of brown, dark blue etc. Also avoid buying t -shirts with prints that make no sense (illustrations, graphically manipulated images in golden and silver colors).
· Never wear a striped shirt if you are tall enough, because that makes you look even taller. People who are obese or fat should avoid wearing clothes that make wearing a broad belt around the waist mandatory. This is because broad belts make fat people look fatter.
· Avoid purchasing faded jeans because they are out.
· Try wearing summer clothes for summer and winter clothes for winter.
· Never wear bright socks with dark shoes or vice-versa.
IT'S the toughest job,
Not going to school pobhia, Anxiety, Depressing, Hyper activity. All these are activities observed in kids today. They face a lot of challenges and competition from every individual outside and some kids loose moral in this constant battle.
A lot of kids now a days have a school phobia. This simply means, they don't want to go to school. The word school, gets a immediate reaction saying, My stomach hurts, my legs hurt or I am going to throw up.The reason for this is not because the kid is trying to be naughty. This is a kind of anxiety kids develop due to a lot of reasons.
We being adults hate to listen to our kids, and just move around ignoring each word said by them. We continue to force them to go to school. Some on the contrary just listen to the kid and make them sit at home for days.
Both the methods are not productive. There could be a million reasons why you are okay with your kid not going to school or going to school. However what is the important thing to note is the kid has anxiety over something. It is something the kid fears and feels dreadful about. It takes a lot of hard work to understand a kids problem, and as parents one is expected to do that hard work. Just a few tips in case a kid does not get involved or avoids a particular activity with excuses or repetitive answer or reasons
Check
- Need to check the jeanious ness of the excuse, if the kid says he has stomach ace, you need to check on the same. If he has fever if he has any physical symptom that agrees with what he is saying.
The Talk
- Not with every issue, however with recurring issues, it is very important to talk to the kid about what is bothering them. E.G if the kid is very playful, however refuses to play with kids of his age. Need to sit him down and ask what scares him, why he does not wish to play with others. You can ask the kid to create sketches of him playing and see what explanation he comes out with.
- Little kids tend to talk a lot, and endlessly at times, Acknowledging each and every sentence made by the kid, create dependency and blocks his individual self from growing, It is very important to acknowledge a serious question made by a kid. Or any opening where the kid is trying to learn and grow. However it is also important to acknowledge the constant catter with just a yes, no or a hmmm.
Steps
-
It is important to start early, you cannot start working on a single day basis and expect the kid to improve. It has to be a constant growing cycle.
-
At a early stage introduce the kid to an atmosphere of playing with kids outside, and don't allow them to become home bound.
-
Do not allow kids to be lazy at playing age
-
Do not allow kids to watch television all the time
-
Do not allow kids to think negative comments and abusive language is acceptable
-
Do not allow kids to disrespect others
-
Talk to the kids about important of sharing, value of material things.
-
Its important to get kids a regular sleep cycle, and a regular diet routine
Actions
To make the steps a reality, the below actions can help
- There should be a disciplined time table for every activity the kids do, starting their school going age.
- With age, the parent should spend greater duration explaining and observing each change and activity the kid does. its important that parent note what the kids are picking from kids around them, as to what they are learning, its important to observe their behavioral changes after they start school. Any negative influence should be eliminated right away.
- Introduce the kids to kids of their age, if they are shy. Spent time in parks and grounds with other kids.
- Do not buy kids everything they demand for, create a reward system for some items that are bigger demands. Its important to make them feel they have to deserve it before getting . Learn to Say no
- There has to be deadlines introduced, for watching TV, playing, sleeping.
- It is important to create a habit of eating away from the television, Kids that eat near the television end up either over eating or under eating. Resulting in health concerns
- Small punishments, that end up as disciplinary acts should be introduced, abusing kids is only a negative triad, as by abusing in front of the kid and then asking him not to do it , does not make sense to the kids mind. A kid should never be physically abuse as that makes him disrespect the parent and does not allow him to learn any better. Punishments like no TV, no ice cream, no chocolates or an extra hour of test. Making them stay locked in their room for an hour. These tell them the parent are the authority,
Every parent should read about any difficulty they have with their kids. There are a lot of people out there who can or cannot do better, We can either learn from their mistakes or learn from their experience. it is important to give kids importance. We cannot copy paste the formula used by our parents because times have changed. Today kids see and get influenced by a lot of things that were no existence in our time.
Happy parenting.
