<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Interacting with people other than family members and close friends can make some people very nervous. It is proven that many people fear having an ice breaking conversation with strangers. Therefore, in parties/ social events even adults end up being in the same social group rather than reaching out to others and make new friends. Children also have similar challenge. Additional challenge with children is that not knowing what to speak with adults. In the current scenario where there are nuclear families, children addicted to gadgets, this exposure is further reduced.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Kidnapping cases have increased a lot .Even roads are unsafe for children because traffic has increased and more accidents are there. They do not know how to cross the road.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">700 children are getting kidnapped per day. The kidnapper’s strikes when children are at home alone and hurt them and make them beg. They do not have any self defense. In the olden days this would not happen, as joint families used to be there and someone would be there to take care of the children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Nowadays, most parents are working and they leave the children in the Daycare with the servants, the servants could also blackmail the children and do bad things with them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Children have their own e-mail accounts which are not legal; they are legal after 18 years. Children have chats with unknown people and share their important information with them. They also have conversations with unknown people who could be kidnappers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">But now child labor is banned by the government. Government has started making schools for poor children. The beggars are taken to orphanage. They get fresh and clean food and water. In olden days the marriages of children were at an early age now the minimum age is 18.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">First when they know that the child who is going to born is a girl they would kill her before the child is even born, now which has decreased a lot. I cannot decide on one of them because it is both ways that it is unsafe also and safe also .Be safe with your children and be alert.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Only last week, a girl was kidnapped by a carpenter and a housemaid from her building. It came out later that her uncle had kidnapped and murdered her due to some family fights. Is the world becoming unsafe for children with the technological advancement?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">I think that it is becoming more unsafe for children and the preventive measures taken are not enough. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.48px;">Back in the olden days, people were honest and content. But these days, people have become dishonest and greedy. More and more people are kidnapping children for ransom.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Children are becoming more and more unsafe in the modern times. In the olden days, there was no concept of running away from their homes as they were too much afraid of the consequences. But more and more children are running away from their homes because of fear that they will get lots of punishment for not getting good marks or some other reasons.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Children are kidnapped mainly when they are alone. In the olden days, there were joint families and there were many people to take care of the children. But these days, there are mainly nuclear families and children have to stay alone because 51% families have both parents working so many times children have to stay alone as there are no family members to take care of the children. The kidnappers strike when the children are alone for ransom. If not for ransom, they kidnap them, hurt them and force them to beg.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Even technology has a part to play in the matter. Mobile phones did not exist in the olden days, but now they could be used for blackmailing children. 59% of children start social media before the age of ten. 43% of children have already sent messages to strangers before the age of twelve. They tend to give away valuable personal information.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">There were not many vehicles in the olden days, but with the increasing traffic and vehicles, even the roads have become unsafe for children.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Kidnappers are on the lookout. Prevent your child from using social media. So please be safe with your children and be alert.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;">You must have seen it
yourself orphanage, caring about children and not caring about children. I hope
you are not wondering at least. Yes, the world is becoming more unsafe to
children and it is not only one or 10 or hundreds of people but it is everyone
the people, government, citizens etc. We only do all this for our goods and
fancies. In few places there are rules like – there has to be a girl or a boy,
or if a girl is born she has to be killed and there are many more rules,
regulation and cases. This is not done in only one country or in one place it
is been done in every place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;">This is altogether not
caring for children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;">Few e.g. Child labour
- children are made to work under the age of 15 which should not be done. Few
children’s parent’s die and they have to live in orphanage in no benefits or a
very few of them even they are not sent to school as their parents don’t have
to play the fees. All this is increased these days and newer days it is
increasing and increasing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;">The causes are
traffic, business etc. the restriction for all this could be aware de for
people who are careful about their children. So then everyone would do it if
there are more of organizations and civilizations all this would stop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;">Now we have phones and
electronic gadgets through which we have our children helpline. So, all this is
wrong but as I told you we all can stop it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Gone are the days when people waited for months to get a
telephone connection or a car. Today, we are getting hardwired to want
things-NOW. Whole world is running towards instant gratification. Be it old or
young, rich or poor all are being driven by the powerful force of wanting thing
the very moment, they desire. </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">This is being fueled by the things around:</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Ayush had decided to be one of the best guitarist in the
town and wanted to be part of the Kaliedoscope concert. He received an electric

days after his
birthday, his Dad was inquiring with Ayush about the progress. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad</span> – When is your audition for Kaliedoscope concert?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush</span> – After a 6 months dad</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad </span>– And how’s your practice going on?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush </span>– Cool dad. Actually before kaleidoscope, we have
performance in the school, where I can be in better position to evaluate .</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ayush was attending classes on the weekends. He did it
regularly for few weeks. But due to monotonous positioning of fingers and neck
and darned lessons, he got too much bored. School event took place and Ayush
couldn’t perform<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This came as a shocker to Ayush. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He thought about what went wrong. </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad</span> – What happened? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He knew the reason for the failure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush</span> – Dad , I bunked few classes as I got bored and was
playing cricket.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad</span> – But , then what about your dream of becoming the best
guitarist? Each passing day you either move closer towards achieving your goal
or move further away from that goal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush</span> – Yeah dad I know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad </span>– How important is that audition and the concert for
you?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush</span> – It is very important Dad. Most of the popular
guitarists have started from this event. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad </span>– Then how are you going to be ready for it?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush</span> – Now I cannot relax. I will put in huge efforts. I
cannot be successful overnight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad</span> – So, what you are going to do?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush </span>–I will join practice classes on week days after
school along with regular classes on weekends.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad</span> – Where else can you create time for more practice?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush</span> - Dad , for time being, I will skip cricket till the
kaleidoscope gets over successfully. I will reschedule my plan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Dad</span>- that’s really good! That you have realized your
progress and rerouted accordingly to get back on track of your goal
achievement. I am impressed!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ayush</span> – Yes dad. I will give priority to practice . </span><br />

foregoes cricket and other entertainment. He gets some lessons from an online music
academy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He registers for jamming
sessions with other guitar players and musicians, to improve timing and improvisation
skills. He gets selected at the audition and also performs at the Kaliedoscope,
which he so badly wanted to. </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For every Ayush
around us who stumble, wake up and rework the plan, there are many more who
give up. At the slightest obstacle on the path, they change the destination.
So, in this world of instant gratification, Ayush had to forego his current
pleasures for achieving the distant goal. More so, he had to reroute himself
like </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">the GPS tracker to get a new path to reach his destination.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I have one
question that why do you ask so many questions? </span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">This was the question asked by one of our
students Pearl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were a bit stunned.
On one hand it was expressing her frustration of having to face so many questions
from us, while on the other hand it felt good, that she has started using this
very technique on the journey of exploration of new knowledge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">In all our sessions, the learning is
co-created. We as facilitators and the students have a conversation on the
topic and progressively, new knowledge is discovered by the students. We
believe in this method. But students initially felt a bit confused as they are
used to a different process – where the teacher is the giver of knowledge and
they are the recipients. In our view, this is one of the big problems in the
current education system where rote learning has become the rule and students
try to memorise without understanding. This explains why in many situations,
the teacher teaches, but students do not learn. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The etymology of the word education throws
up some interesting insights. The word <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>‘education’</u></b>
has roots in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">E + DUCO</b>, which means <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">TO BRING OUT</b>. If education is the
process of bringing out (knowledge) what exists, then why do we have the entire
system focussing on shoving in the information to students, without helping
them in the process of knowledge formation? So, how is this system supposed to
work? The answer to this question can come from the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">brain mechanism</b> on how the learning happens. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Any information received by the brain, is
first tested against the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">existing
knowledge</b> and if a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">connection</b>
can be made, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">new information gets hooked</i></b> up to the older one. The more this
process happens, it gives rise to a new pattern of connections and this is the
process of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">LEARNING</b>. If the brain
cannot connect the new information to the existing knowledge, it is simply
discarded as unwanted, unusable piece of data. So, how can we make use of this
knowledge, on a day to day basis to facilitate the process of learning by our
children?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Example of an interesting conversation in
our house last week:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Our son Harsh and daughter Jiya were
talking about fabrics. Jiya mentioned that Harsh’s sports day costume is of terrycot
based on what she had heard her mother speak. Harsh is not aware of what terrycot
is. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Harsh</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> : Papa, what is terrycot?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Papa </span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">: It is a blended fabric. Do you
know about synthetic fibres?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Harsh</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">: Yes, it is a manmade fibre like
nylon. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Papa</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">: Good. Like nylon, there is a
synthetic fibre called terrylene and when that is mixed with cotton, you get
terrycot</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Harsh</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> : Oh, so it is like an alloy of
metals. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Harsh can now place terrylene (new
information) as a synthetic fibre similar to nylon (existing knowledge) and
terrycot, a blended fabric (new information) is similar to a metal alloy
(existing knowledge). So, it is very likely that the new information that he
has received becomes part of his knowledge due to the connections he could make.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">When children ask questions, avoid giving
direct answer as that may be like new information to the brain without anything
to be connected to. So, what can we do as parents while answering these
questions?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Our children study in St. Mary’s ICSE School,
Koperkhairane, Navi Mumbai and in one of the visits to the school, I remember
reading a poster – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Love your children
and more so when you think they don’t deserve it</b>. This message made home in
my mind and have been thinking about it for a long time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Isn’t this statement contradictory? Why
should children be loved when they don’t deserve it? Let’s see different
scenarios between children and parents to understand this. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Child
is happy</span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">If the child is happy due to some
achievement or recognition, she is in good mood and behaves very well. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Any external endorsement or support is
not required</u></b>. But generally we find that we parents reward them with
some goodies and children do not mind it. But actually, they have got their own
reward in terms of recognition and the happiness that comes along with it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Child
is upset</span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Now imagine a case wherein the child has
had a bad day – due to poor grades in the exam, losing a match/race or due to
fight with someone. The child is trying to cope up with the situation and is
emotionally charged – either on someone else or on herself. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>She needs some support to come out of
this</u></b>. But generally, we as parents add fuel to the fire. Imagine our
statements – “If you do this again, then you will have it”/ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You better improve your grades or forget the
new PS2”/ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You better work hard and
practice for the next race or stop going for the extra class” and so on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Just step into the shoes of the poor child.
She realizes that some mistake has happened. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>She doesn’t need any sermon at that time</u></b>. She needs
compassion and someone to listen to her. If parents do not play that role,
where would the child go? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>This is an
important juncture wherein the</u></b><u> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">communication
between the child and the parent either blossoms or starts breaking down!</b></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">As is written by many experts, the
confidence of a person is linked to her self-image, which in turn is based on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>being felt lovable and capable</u></b>.
In a situation where the child is feeling upset, what would make her feel
lovable and capable? This is where the parent and teacher’s role become
critical. By being with the child in the toughest time, they can give that
boost to the self image of the child in addressing both these needs. They can
shower the parental love at this juncture and this is where – “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Love your children and more so when you
think they don’t deserve it” </b>comes into the picture<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. </b>On the question of being felt capable, you cannot weave the false
stories of capabilities when she has experienced a defeat. However, you can help
by acknowledging the existence of that feeling and then let the child come out
with the positives or learning from the experience and we as parents can appreciate
the efforts being put by her. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">As a parents of 2 children, I know that to
implement the above is not easy and is a test of patience. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>But this is the essential role as parents</u></b>. We have to ensure
that our children become ready to face various eventualities, including facing
upsets and defeats and still get up to fight again. The ultimate reward for the
parents is when our children do this with confidence and keep their self image
intact. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Outsourcing of school projects - Unhealthy Trend</b> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Extracurricular activities as learning opportunities</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The 2nd half of the academic year is busy season in most schools with extracurricular activities taking up substantial time - sports day, annual day, science day, model making and in some schools even the carnival. As part of these activities schools have projects to be done by group of students. Schools expect parents to assist the students. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These projects are an important source of learnings and contribute significantly to the development of the child. This involves interpersonal behaviour, team working, planning, time management, creativity, art/craft and overall leadership development. Even if parents assist the children in this activity, children learn a lot from this exposure. They see their parents in action and work with them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Students not getting exposure</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">At Making CHAMPS, when we interact with students of many schools we find that they are lacking in most of these skills. Upon going deeper into the situation, we discovered a very unhealthy trend. The reason students are not good in these skills is because they have never worked in such an environment! Some times it is the parents who end up doing these projects and for the last 1-2 years we are seeing the parents role substituted by professional agencies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Professionals doing the student's work</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Parents have a busy schedule. It is a humongous task for somebody to take along 8-10 children with their parents to work as a team. Moreover, there is a concern that we cannot do good work as we have not made models or charts like this. There enters the professional agencies. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are individuals who work on model making for real estate or design firms. There are many private class owners teaching art & craft. They take on these projects. The charge can be anywhere between Rs. 3000 to Rs. 15000 depending on the complexity of the model. For a group of 8-10 students, parents end up spending Rs. 400 to Rs. 2000 per student. No meetings, no mess in the house, no tension of coordination with other parents & children, no concern about people not working, substantial saving in time and moreover, the output is of professional quality. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Encouraging lies</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Schools do not support such practices. Therefore, when the students are asked - who has made the project? They are taught to speak the lies - we made it ourselves with the help of our parents. Instead of such activities building important practical skills & leadership qualities, it is sowing the seeds of lies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Questions to ponder</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. If parents do not have time, should school have such activities? If anyways the work is not going to be done by students, why to have such activities?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. What role can school play in discouraging such practices? If a team resorts to such practicies, should they be disqualified?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. What will it take for parents to understand that in such developmental activities, the journey is more important that the destination? i.e the process itself is a learning opportunity. If the team gets an award for a model done by a professional agency, what has the child learnt?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eager to know the views from all the stakeholders. </span><br />
