Keeping the above in mind, I would like to
emphasize the importance that homes play in
the schooling system. Infact, without a strong
backup from homes, schooling would be a
complete failure anywhere. The common
feeling is that once one sends a child to school,
the responsibility is over. Infact, I would say
that, that is when the responsibility actually
starts. Schools just provide a place where some
experts (teachers) meet, and where some
learners (students) gather, for about 1000
hours in a year. But what about the other
hours in the year? (about 8000). The child is
actually spending just about 12 percent of his
time in a year at school. The other, about 80
percent, is being spent outside the school and
mostly with the parents. Do you think that
INDEXINDEXINDEXINDEX

anything that one teaches in school will be of any use if it is not reinforced at home?
Do you think that the values one teaches in school have any “value”, if they are not
reinforced at home? Let me give you an example: There can be no doubt that telling
the truth is a much sought after value. Children are born truthful because telling lies
requires a lot of manipulation and children don’t normally indulge in it. We teach the
children here in school that telling the truth is sacred. These values are emphasized in
the lessons given in the books. But imagine what he/she would think about speaking
the truth when he/she sees lies being told at home. What do you do about that? Or
take another case: In schools we ask children not to burst crackers because of so many
factors but at home it’s the parents who NOT only tell the children that nothing is
wrong in bursting crackers, but themselves actively participate in it. I think this
dichotomy has to end. You can’t have children not littering the school, but littering the
roads. The parents have to tell a child what is wrong and what is right. I feel, that job
is best done when both the school and the family join hands. My son will never throw a
banana peel or a paper packet, or even used plastics. Not because he was taught that
at school – but as a family we also emphasized the need to do so. Hence, please work
in conjunction with the school. Let us decide mutually what is right and what is wrong.
And then let us not violate the rules. One can’t act like a policeman by checking
whether a child has the license to drive. The child must never leave home in a vehicle
which the law does not allow him to drive. If as parents we allow children to do that,
then we are encouraging them to do something illegal. It is unfair on the child for he is
being taught the wrong thing and being expected to do the right.
Having said all that, I request you all to be very particular about some of the basic
things that schools emphasize on – coming to school on time and in proper uniform,
explaining a child’s absence from school, having the right food so that the child can go
through the day with enough energy, following up his /her progress in class, and
coming as and when required by the school to do so. I think we need to give more of
our time for the sake of the child. No reason is good enough for not having time for our
children.
It is this kind of cooperation that the school and I are expecting from you. Without it,
education will be absolutely inadequate. Let us get together to make learning more
meaningful as well as contemporary for our children.
