Time spins and with every spin
there is a change. Education and social norms are no different. Time has added
new spices to education system. Boarding schools are now flourishing and it has
become common to educate the wards in the residential schools.
There are many reasons for this
evolution. First of all parents have now become more busy in their endeavours
that it has become difficult for them to
take care of their wards. Especially working parents find it convenient to
shift the responsibility of upbringing to others. However it is great irony
that in most of the cases to escape from their
responsibility (I may sound
offending by saying this but it is a ground reality), parents admit their wards
to residential schools. Secondly,
parents use it as tool to mend the ways
of their erring children.
Besides, sometimes parents have
to take this extreme step owing to lack of facilities at their place. Good
educational institutions are not available at all the places and these may be situated
at places far from home towns from where it may not be feasible to commute on a
regular basis. To avail these facilities children need to be sent to
residential schools whether they are in the other town or other nation. Further
in the part of the country, I belong to that is
Punjab, it has become a style statement to send the child to boarding
schools of metropolitans and other countries.
Good one...
