I was trying to write something from a long time but I did not get time or sometimes I did not have words to write but I wanted to write something. Yesterday I was going to home from office by my office cab, there were two men talking about their child. One of them was saying I get my girl admitted in Mother’s Pride and the annual expenditure for her school would be around 2 Lac and the girl is hardly three year old. Listening to their conversation I thought parents are so worried about the education of their children. What they want to make them. How would the face of the world after 25 years…competition would be on its fullest. The world would be full of scientist and engineers. The parents want their kid to be confident since childhood. There is nothing wrong in it everyone wants his or her child to be smart and intelligent enough to compete with the world. Every parent is in a quest to give the best education to their child they want he or she should be best at knowledge rather a scientist since childhood. They want to fulfill their broken dreams through their child rather to be called the parents of a successful person. But in this race they forget about the child what his initial need is. Love, Care, Space and Support instead of it they give him a goal sheet. Their expectations are to that extent that a baby actually thinks in a way what his parents want. Their feathers are cut before the growth. They want to train his brain since childhood. Such parents want to see that little life as they want. They give this so called stress from the beginning so that he or she is habitual of pressure.
There is nothing wrong in providing the best education to a child but spending the money like anything on primary education and just for the sake of status symbol seems little weird, because the primary education is given by the family. Primary education is understanding the family values, make the child realize there is his family for his support to share his problem, primary education is understanding of our culture. They want to get their child admitted in the best school where curriculum is the best in the world, no matter if it is out of one’s strength. The classes should be air conditioned and with all the modern amenities. Their child should have every facility he or she should not have to make any compromise in their comfort. With the encouragement of such people now primary schools charge fees like anything and gradually it became the status symbol.
Where such schools are with all the facilities and modern amenities. Does only the school guarantee the building of a good human being? Is it so really….I swear I don’t know. A school may give a great knowledge but only knowledge is enough to have wisdom I can not say. Parents forget, a school can give the education but it can not teach the family values, it can not make them understand power of bonding and love.
I agree an environment is very necessary to build the confidence in the child, altogether I think if parent does not give time to their child the environment can not do anything. If a child gets his initial education from a normal school and gets the proper attention of their parents who may not chase him or her and may not force him to be a bookworm but they make him understand about the responsibilities and gives proper space and most important parents who have silent watch on their child and tells him what is wrong and right on correct time. Make their child feel the importance of every relation and their responsibilities towards their relations. This child may not be a scientist or engineer he would definitely a person what he want to be. Because these unsaid responsibilities would encourage him to make his future bright in a way he wants. Because the freedom with responsibility never spoils a person. I can bet this child would be more knowledgeable and have a brighter future.
Actually, the generation is going towards a new direction where knowledge is above than wisdom. Where individuality is above than family bonding. Where I is above all the relations. Where an individual spent his 30 or 35 year alone and does not want to get in any commitment, he is wealthy, he is successful, he has all the comfort. He used his all the knowledge, all the power, all the energy to get so called success (Luxury)…He gives all the priority to his luxury and after getting it he finds himself alone surrounded with cigarette, sharab(wine) and sex, than he realizes where I am, does a person really losses some of his most precious moment to get this luxury and to land himself here. If yes than I would prefer a middle class family where my parents and my love is with me and I go to my colony’s school and have normal life.
Everything in this world suits on its time and sense of right timings comes through wisdom…….so what you will choose knowledge or wisdom.
