With all due respects to all what he has written, its looks very good on paper. we need to look at the childs mind also. Going to school and for working is different.
I also agree that there is a saturation point in the mind, where you can take that much only. I have been to full day school and a half day school. I would prefer to have the half day school. The reason is that i have time for other activities. Playing at school and at home is different. if some one has been to Full day and half day they will understand. Just because you want the teaching staff to work the full day or you think its a vacation job, i think its wrong. As far as taking tutions, no one has put a gun on the parents head to send their children for tutions. If they are going its only because they want to go and secure better marks. Today if tutions and classes are doing bussiness, its only because we are trying to push our kids. While teachers lose interest as they know kids will be doing the same thing in tutions and classes. If this is stop; and in a class where the kids do fare badly, I am sure the principal will pull up the teacher as to whats wrong??? and teachers are the last one to get their names disgraced. The main reason I see that parents want a full time school is because they are both working and need the child to be under some care and just because of this parents are opting for full time school. Its an old proven thing that if the child come home in the afternoon he plays out and come only after dark does not study. so they think if the kid is in school he/she will study. Its time parents learns that cutting off cable television or internet will not help their kids to study. Its only when you hide things that you want it more, not when its always available. Every parent needs to think whats good for their kids as they know best. I will urge all parents to see whats good for their kids before they choose a school, your child future is in your hands first. ________________________________ From: Tony de Sa <[email protected]> To: "Goa's Premiere Mailing List, Estd 1994" <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 5 March, 2011 6:15:15 PM Subject: Re: [Goanet] Full day school in Goa, makes sense? Prabhakar Timble, educationist, has written a well reasoned article in today's Herald advocating full day school which more or less is in consonance with my views http://www.oheraldo.in/newscategory/Opinions/14 -- Tony de Sa. tonydesa at gmail dot com ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v
