GENERATION GAP

Today most of the parents are working. This gives no time to children to interact with them. So, they don't have any restrictions and do whatever they like to. Their dressing style, eating habits and choice of friends all have changed. Talking about the eating habits, as the mother is not at home the children tend to eat 'JUNK' food from the canteens. I Now as no one was there to counsel them, if some elder comes at home, they won't be able to adjust the so called 'MODERN' environment where the dressing style had been changed from suits and long skirts to minis and tops. The eating too, where earlier only 'rotis' and 'dals'(the nutritious ones) were there, now instead pizzas and burgers has taken their place. The ability to choose good friends is also not there. All these are due to the counselling which the parents couldn't give to their children. All this has created a huge 'GENERATION GAP' between the elders and the children....

The subjects i had in my 9th standard are being taught to students in 7th standard. We should be really proud that our fore coming generation are getting smarter each day.

This is because we have the capability to differentiate between the Real and Real world. But our younger brothers and sisters might not have this discretion to make, which may lead to a twi...

PRACTICE OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS

A study conducted found that 77% of teachers had themselves been punished in childhood. Teachers also hit children because they were depressed and tensed about their family problems.moreover 70.9% teachers felt that  the children must be punished physically to make them disciplined. I As a result of this teachers slap, shout, shake and even pinch students. There are teachers who take sticks for issues like- lying, stealing, showing tantrums e.t.c. They also uses a stick if a child gets poor marks in exams. I To get rid of this there must be some seminar regarding this cruel type of punishment towards the students. The principal must organize a meeting of the teachers so that they can be checked upon by him by the progress of the  concerned class. There must be laws to keep check on teachers not giving corporal punishment to students. Media should spread awareness that physical punishment is not the way to correct a child. it only results in school-phob...
