Adarsh, a student of class 11th, was
deeply engrossed in reading his newly bought novel. To his surprise, he found
his father standing right beside him, giving him “the look”. “Adarsh, how many
times do I have to tell you? These novels you keep on reading are not going to
give you any marks. Read your textbooks, son. It’ll help you.” Adarsh frankly
replied “But dad, these textbooks are hardly as interesting as these novels! If
only I could learn the types of business organizations as easily as I learn the
lyrics of a song.”
We have many fathers like that of Adarsh
in our country, don’t we? A message for all the parents : Doing something apart from that in the
syllabus is no waste of time as long as it is something productive. Knowledge, of any kind, never goes waste. There’s
a message for our educational board too. The education that is being provided
in our country should aim at becoming more practical and involving than mere
rote learning from age old printed textbooks. Else, there’s no choice left for
students but to indulge themselves into the more interesting, out of the syllabus activities.
