What outcome you expect ?

4am alarm rings

She got up from the bed (not willingly , mom and dad came to woke her up)

Got ready , ten minutes journey to reach tuition class. Have to reach there as early as possible to get a seat. Its worse than politics.

Class begins. Something enters her head, in between she felt sleepy but managed to sit there for two hours. On the way back slept in car for sometime. Stepped in home . now have to get ready to go to school . have to attend the extra class at 8am. Now its thirty minutes pat seven. Ate two idly with sambar and father dropped her to school.

One after the other teachers came in and taught science mathematics social and language. During lunch break she had the lunch packed by her mom. After the break the sequence of teachers arrival continued.

School time over, reached home. Had tea and snacks. Went for next tuition and reached at 8pm. Took her bath and hurry berry dinner.

On her study table- home works, projects, assignments and upcoming monthly tests. Completed her home works and projects. Clock struck 12.

She went to bed .

Repeat schedules the next days.

I tried to calculate her sleeping hours, just 4 hours. When does she rest? Is she eating well? I do not think she is having a healthy life -both physically and mentally she is under stress. How can we expect an excellent performance from a child under strain and stress. 

We have laws against child labour.Now studies has turned out to be a child labour. Mostly they are sent for tuitions for the satisfaction of parents , where the parents version will be “ its for her/ his good”. What good are they expecting after pushing the child into stressful world? High marks? ranks? Certificates and mark sheets?

Studies are to be given based on their interest and skills. All fingers are not like, likewise everyone cannot be an Einstein or Edison. Why only doctors and engineers? Tell your children about other professions. Open up the wide variety of courses to your child. Future generations need politicians to govern the nation, judges, police and armed forces to maintain law and order, teachers to train children, workers for construction and other works, bankers to deal your finance, farmers to cultivate your food.....

Can you imagine a world full of engineers and doctors? No . so keep your eyes open yo see the requirement around us before threatening your children. Let them feel free to decide on their studies – if they are not good in science they might be excellent in arts. Let them fly and conquer their own world.
