Then starts the cycle of tuition and extra coaching ..

The only advantage this particular policy has is bringing more children ( probably) into classrooms , other than that what the advisory board argues is right because it does lower the standards because the students don't need to work hard which is very essential during those formative years. I am all for scrapping the policy because it does not do any good for our education system and there are other ways of encouraging children to attend school !

The Central Advisory Board has suggested the removal of the 'No detention policy' till class 8 which was implemented earlier based RTE or right to education for all. It is argued that the policy had lowered the standard of learning amongst the students. Is it a move in the wrong direction?

rambabu replied to the topic What qualifies as luxury? And no, it isn't about money.
The luxuries always need not be related with money. Having a good health is a luxury that can be earned not by spending Millions. To have good health one need to strive by changing a few life style habits. This requires no capital investment. For these luxuries one need not invest money. Your only investment is a strong will.

Everything that is available in excess than its normal requirement is a luxury. Both the beggar and king can experience luxury; it varies in its intensity but not of its kind.

Most of the valuable ancient literatures, both oral and written, of our great India which we are proud of were in Sanskrit language. May be Sanskrit will not earn us money; it has no utility in the present world; and may be the grammar is tougher; …..but I think it is the most beautiful language in the world. (And of course it depends on the concept of beauty of each individual).

rambabu replied to the topic Government plans to ban junk food near schools..
Counseling by parents and teachers on the ill effects of junk food would be more effective. The children should be given such a food in the home, the child will never turn his face towards Junk food, even if there is a junk food outlet before the school. Another good thing would be children should not be given pocket money. Even if pocket money is given, the child should account his expenses. Children if they save the money, parents should open an account in the children savings account in a Bank.

Counselling by parents ad teachers will go a long way in keeping children away from junk food. However keeping selling shops away from schools also helps in a small way.

Today Sanskrit is only used by "Pundit" during marriages. Once it was the mother tongue of India, but with time and due to different rulers in India like Mughals and Britishers, languages has changed and our mother tongue is Hindi.
