After long summer vacations, Schools Re-Opens in June.
Being into 7th std., there is a tremendous load on Dhyeya & some times even he complaints of headache. Yesterday Dhyeya's bagpack broke due to fully loaded books/Project materials & while I pickup his bag, I felt like my laptop bag is 10x lighter then his bag....
I went to school for paying yearly term/tution fees & attend PTM. I saw few boards indicating activities of school. Some calculation I made which is as below,
Parents pay school fees for 365 days
Parents pay bus fees for 365 days
Parents pay tiffinwala fees for 365 days + diwali bonus
Parents keep drivers/conductor and pay them for 365 days + diwali bonus
But
In return the school is working for almost 164 days as....
1. Sundays 52 days
2. Saturdays 52 days
3. Summer vacation 45 days
4. Christmas vacation 10 days
5. Diwali vacation 20 days
6. Ganapati vacation 2 days
7. Misc holidays 20 days
So, our kids are off school for 201 days holidays out of 365 days, which is not even half of the year.
And the teachers try to finish the portion/curriculum rushingly in these few days.
So kids with average IQ having tought time & is hardly understands anything in school whereas the speed is extremely high from the teaching staff who are also under tremendous pressure.
I saw couple of parents complaining that their child is not studying properly as they have to pay thousands of money for tutions and classes where the playing time of the children is sacrificed and the child cannot enjoy his childhood. If the child does not understand in school how can he give good results?
Suddenly, I de javu unto flashback & started distinguishing my current life versus my student life.....today mummy didn't woke me up to Get Ready instead even though I wanted to Snooze the Alarm but finally woke up.
I was not sleepy while brushing my teeth but was doing it speedily bcoz I might get late to office.
I didn't felt warmth or cold nature of water but i just quickly took bath.
Instead of checking if my Compass Box is Ready, I was checking whether my Phablet is charged or Not.
Today, I will be wearing a Tie but of course for different Reasons.
Today, Value Education is Replaced by learning ways on how to Value money Generation.
Today, New Design Cartoon bag is Replaced by my Laptop bag.
Yesterday Night, I was not busy Polishing my shoes but i was busy Checking emails.
Instead of discussing with friends how Vacation went, I will be discussing monthly targets with colleagues.
New Lessons from Muktaben/Deviben teachers are Replaced by PowerPoint Presentations.
Today, Maths calculations are replaced by Excel Sheets.
Today, Will not be sharing Lunch in Recess but might have brunches Clients/Vendors.
Today, that Bhupatsir's PT period is now some long Lost Dream.
Instead of fighting for Batting/Bowling. I'm Racing to ahead in racing in heavy traffic on Mumbai roads.
There Monitor was busy watching who is talking in class, here Boss is eager to catch 1 mistake.
Once I was crazy to Open my Mouth in Rains n' try to catch water droplets. Now just thinking how will Rain effect on Road traffic by checking WhatsApp photos shared by friends. .
Date is Same but Years have Passed, so are my feelings towards this date. Might be that time it was bit scary but Today its Sweet Memory.
Today is 23rd June School Re-Opens & I will Love to Go to School n' Share that Small Bench with my Friends of my S.V.Mehta & Radia classes. I miss those Vadapav treat at "Vishwas" where everyday we used to munching 6 Vadapav but pay for only 3.
I met good friends like Jatin(tobu), Urvish, Lalan, Shilpa, Jaini, Mona, Jitu, Brijesh so many ...
Dear School Love You, Miss You....
