BACKGROUND

KNOWLEDGE INSTITUTE TO BUSINESS

The

article is about the coaching classes of todays time. The tuition classes,
instead of polishing the talent of the students, are limiting them and their
knowledge with certain words and phrases. They say that it would make them
appear smarter in interviews.

Students

are treated like they are parrots. Their parents, who feel pride seeing
their childrens busy schedule and carrying extra papers in hand instead of
syllabus book, are ready to pay huge amount of money to tuition classes.

These

coaching classes are gaining business with the increased competition in

admission to premium colleges and jobs. Not only in engineering and medical,
tuition classes are also doing business in baking, defence and the design
training.

BACKGROUND

These coaching classes restrict students to attend lectures in college,

mentioning it as waste of time.

The reason behind falling in this big trap is promise of the tuition classes
for higher salary package, hope of secured future, tight schedule of the
students etc.

This practise of tuition classes is dangerous and will take the future of
children in the dark.

This is all happening because of the selection criteria of the colleges and
institutes which can stop all this stop all this by making the tests and the
selection procedures unique and updated.

THE INDIAN SCENARIO

Sadly

today schools create a 'robotlike' next generation whose learning is just

limited to fact and theories and limit the
child's ability to think laterally and out-ofthe-box and to imagine and create.

With

busy schedules of morning tuitions,

school hours and evening extra-classes and
tests children are often busier than their
working parents, coming home later than
them.

REALITY IN OUR LIFE

Parents

often raise their kids to make up for what they messed up on in

their childhood. For example, a mother never made it onto the cheer team,
so their daughter will be sure to make her proud and make it to the top of
pyramid. The father never passed with above Bs or Cs, be sure to bring
home that ACADECA trophy! Not only is it the desire to make up for
their own failures, but also to prevent the children from making those same
mistakes

DO U SEE WHAT I SEE.

I took a piece of plastic clay
And idly fashioned it, one day.
And as my fingers pressed it, still
It moved and yielded to my will.
I came again, when days were passed.
That bit of clay was hard at last,
The form I gave it, still it bore,
And I could change that form no more.
Then I took a piece of living clay
And gently formed it, day by day,
And molded with my power and art,
A young child's soft and yielding heart.
I came again when years were gone,
It was a man I looked upon,
He still that early impress bore,
And I could change it, nevermore.
