Entrance exam coaching centers and a caution for parents:

You would have stared at the article heading by seeing Crores, Google and age 6 written on the thumbnail picture of the article. This is how sometimes parents get misled by ads regarding coaching classes which charge lakhs of rupees as fee and promise an impossible success, which is 200% impossible to be achieved by all children, instead a small percentage of children might achieve the advertised target.

Many parents want their children to get into good professions when they grow up. For the children to get into good professions, they need to get a good education, in order to get a good education they need to get into good universities/academies, in order to get into a good university/academy a child has to get a good competitive entrance exam score. In order for children to get a good competitive exam score, children have to get good foundational education and training. Thus parents put lakhs of rupees into the competitive exams coaching classes, hoping to see the magic.

Many coaching centres display the ads promising that the child will excel in so and so entrance exam with so and so percentage. One cannot deny that the coaching centre does a lot of effort in preparing the child to face the competitive exam. At the same time all the children have different learning abilities and multiple intelligence, one cannot bring uniform learning outcome from uniform input.

Many parents end up paying lakhs of hard-earned money hoping that the coaching centre will do magic for their child's success. It is not possible to guarantee that all the children will get the same performance. In an emotional decision, parents believe that once the child gets into a competitive exam coaching centre he will for sure get success in a competitive exam, which is not true for all the children. Some coaching centres run misleading ads, which are unauthentic. Parents have to be extra careful and make an informed decision.

Instead of focusing just on coaching centres, parents and schools should make sure that the foundation education of a child is strong so that children adapt well in competitive exam preparation. By foundational education I mean, Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), Maths, English language skills, Social studies, General knowledge etc.

At the same time, one cannot deny the role of competitive coaching centres too. The advantage of a competitive exam coaching centre is, they train the skills of preparation and some short cut methods of problem-solving. If the school foundational learning itself is weak, then the competitive exam preparation will not be effective.

When I mean competitive exam preparation, it could be CLAT, IAS, JEEE, NEET, CAT etc.

Below is the comment and the video shared by Dhruv Rathee. The below video is a generic view about coaching centre, and not about all the coaching centres. There are coaching centres, honestly, they are doing a great job.

"The coaching centres of yesterday have transformed into something worse today. Children as young as 6 yrs old are targeted with misleading ads to learn coding, tempting them with hundreds of crores of rupees that they can potentially earn later in life by some specific Edtech companies. I talk with whistleblower Pradeep Poonia to show what are some companies doing to the Indian society".

OUR ROLE AS PARENTS:

- We know that today's children are tomorrow's citizens. How do we develop the young citizens. How can they become the productive contributors for the family as well as the society. The parenting is a multi dimensional approach. It involves emotional, physical, moral, spritual, and cognitive aspects of the child. Good parenting involves a style that considers children's age and stage of development. Good parenting involves a great deal of consistency and routine, which gives children a sense of control. A good parent , often does their best to teach their child how to live life to the fullest. Bad parenting is a series of actions that can seriously harm the child's demeanour and psychology. Bad parenting isn't restricted to a single act; it is a collection of these acts that are usually what contributes to a harmful effect on the child. Thus every intention, and action of a parent impacts children. Below we have brought a collection of day to day child's an

Teacher encourages 6th class dropout, later on that student establishes a successful food company:

- A boy fails in 6th standard and drops out of school. After being concerned of a student dropping out of school, a teacher encourages that child to join back the school. Later on this boy in his career develops a food business and delivers his success story at Harvard University. Today the company which he developed is know as 'iD fresh food'. As of 2021 the company is valued at ₹2,000 Crore. After failing in Class 6 he joined his father on the farm. He said in one of the interview, "We barely earned ₹10 in daily wages. Eating three meals a day was a distant dream. I'd tell myself, 'Right now, food is more important than education',". Many successful people are those who come out of hardship and struggle in their venture and later on this struggle gives them motivation to achieve in life. These people are ready to take risks in life, as they have already lived 'out of their comfort zone'. This story also highlights the value of a teacher who was

Involve parents, carers and families for school success:

Work with parents/carers and families can add strength and depth, and has been shown to have a significant impact in making approaches and specific interventions more effective, both by helping family life reinforce the messages of the school and through helping parents and carers develop their own parenting skills and attitudes. The school has an important part to play in supporting the kind of parenting and family life that boosts well-being. This can be done informally, through conversation with individual parents and carers, or more formally through presentations at parents’ evenings, printed information, parenting education courses, and designated family link workers. Parents and carers who may not have had a positive experience of parenting themselves may need particular help to respond to their children’s behaviour in emotionally literate ways, to spend quality time with their children, to focus on their children’s strengths, to listen, empathise and understand the causes

5 points - Better teacher collaboration and better school outcomes:

- Collaboration means collective efforts to achieve shared belief and common outcome. Collaborative efforts are essential, particularly when the focus is on progress and development. Below are the 5 points why collaboration is key at school: 1. The collaboration between the teachers is key for academic development and progress at school. Working together can lead to the exchange of valuable teaching methods and intellectual insights, but these advantages are often overlooked amid busy schedules. 2. Teachers have usually a very packed schedule. Teachers often face challenges when it comes to collaboration due to packed schedules filled with specific duties and fixed periods, making it difficult to find the time for deeper planning and individual student assessments. 3. The education of teachers in teaching techniques and methodologies and child development is very very important. Poor educational backgrounds, particularly among non-B.Ed. teachers in private schools can further hind

CBSE manual for mental health and wellbeing:

- Children's success in school and life is directly linked to their mental health. Many of us either do not understand the connection or just ignore it. Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. There is a very crucial need to understand this area of children at school. This is a manual (See at the end) published by CBSE board, which lays down perspectives on MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING. The 21st century emerging challenges have necessitated that the schools also shift the focus to the psychosocial needs of students and take care of the overall wellbeing. The schools should take actions and adopt strategies for identification and prevention of various mental health and wellbeing needs, which would create safe school environment. The priority in schools should mainly be about early identification at the individual and systemic level. This document attempts to align the role and import

School meal programs are linked with improvements in the classroom:

- > A school meal (whether it is a breakfast, lunch, or evening meal) is a meal provided to students and sometimes teachers at a school , typically in the middle or beginning of the school day. Countries around the world offer various kinds of school meal programs , and altogether, these are among the world's largest social safety nets . > Providing students with breakfast in the classroom is associated with lower rates of tardiness, fewer disciplinary office referrals, improved attendance rates, and improved math and reading achievement test scores. > A considerable body of evidence shows that the school meals programs are profoundly important for students, especially low-income students, with well- documented benefits. > School meals support good nutrition throughout the school day. Program participants are less likely to have nutrient inadequacies and are more likely to consume fruits, vegetables, and milk at breakfast and lunch. “ The exposure to healthi

5 points- Why you need counselling support at school (Part 1.10):

- Many of us feel that counselling is for people who are weak and incompetent. In reality, many people miss this expert help and guidance because of these misconceptions. There are few myths related to counselling, like it is only for major issues or crazy people, admitting that you need help and going for counselling means you're weak, counselling doesn't help or will make the situation worse, the counsellor doesn't know me - so they can't help me etc. ( https://calgarycounselling.com ). But really if you see at the counselling, these are the professionals who are trained to help humans in their day to day life needs. There are specialized people who are called as ‘school counsellors, who work with school stakeholders for students and school success. Out of all needs, mental health needs are very prime. Mental health affects not only academics but also other areas of life. The problems of children are different in each type of school. One school in my study is day s
