I am writing this Blog/article not behalf of the schools nor the parents. But with the perspective of a student.
Nowadays, a very much ongoing discussion is about "Education".
Parent thinking about...
- Online class... good or bad?
- School fees... need to pay or not?
Schools Management thinking about...
- want the teachers to do online classes.
- asking for the fees from the parents.
But have you ever asked the students about what they need?
Here, I am trying to explain and give the answers to the above questions.
Parents Perspective:
Online class.....?
Our children have already addicted to mobile phones and now how can we give them extra hours to look into mobile phones and nowadays bad things are there more than the good things on the internet.
The answer I can able to give is,
First of all, If you are able to purchase a laptop or computer, then there will be no issues with bad things. Parents can control the internet (switch off /On) through wifi or mobiles. And they can easily attend the online class. For those who are using mobile phones, Don't let the children browse anything on google or any browser, for the educational purpose there are many apps that can be available on play store like Vitvaraa, Byjus, Vedanth...etc.
And I request all the parents that Please invest your 10 min of precious time and track your children what they are going through with their mobile phones/computers/laptops.you can search in the history and can block the non-educational websites or links.
School Fees....?
Most of the parents are thinking about how to pay the fees in this pandemic situation? Most importantly why we need to pay school fees without starting the classes?
My answer is, yes the parents should not pay the fees, if they are unable to pay the fees right now because of no money, those parents who are able to pay the fees, like those who have the money, that parents should pay the fees. Because the school has to pay the salary for the teachers, they should maintain all other activities in the school. The parents should support the school by paying the minimum amount so that they will help you in the future.
If in case, the school has been closed due to the loss, then what you will do... from the past several years, that school is serving you and educating your children.
And now in this situation, the teachers accepting most of the challenges.
They go through digital transformation overnight for the sake of children.
They may not be paid their full salaries.
They are judging by the parents about their online classes.
They are providing education with limited resources.
"The Guiders, The Teachers, The Trainers, they are doing so much of work and they are accepting that type of challenges only for the sake of their students, means for your children, why can’t you support them and help them by paying your minimum school fees."
Schools Management perspective:
Asking for the fees from the parents.....?
We are surviving and maintaining the School only with the student's fees. If they are not ready to pay the fees means, how can we manage all the things like salaries, payments, maintenance, etc?
The answer is, yes that's right, The parents should pay the fees for their work and development of the school. But, the schools were not supposed to force the parents for the maximum money. As of my knowledge, Every school can survive about 3 to 4 months with their savings. Please use that and Definitely the parents will pay the fees later. the school should help the parents to those who are not able to pay the fees immediately. and of course, the school management will know about the parents who are able to pay the fees and you can approach them.
want the teachers to do online class....?
All the teachers are hereby informed to be ready with their resources for the online classes immediately. We need to start classes and training.
The answer is,, Yes the management has the power of ordering teachers for dos and dont’s. But before that, you have to provide them the necessary resources like the Internet, Laptops, Teachers' materials, handbooks, etc. And you have to give them some time to prepare for the sudden digital transformation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At last, I can say that This digital transformation may lead to good thoughts and bad thoughts, But it is our responsibility to choose the good one and help the children/students to get the good one.
And for the students, I request you to listen to your parents and teachers. Take this sudden digital transformation as a challenge and grab the positive things as much as possible. Online classes and training will definitely be going to help you if you use that in the right way.
