No free will for tiny tots?
The tiny tots, who barely have learnt to eat properly, are going through proper tests and interview sessions in schools during admission procedure. Every parent holds a deepest desire of admitting his child in the best school in the city.
ARE YOU thinking of getting your child admitted in the best missionary school in your city? Wait... it’s not that easy as it seems to be. The tiny tots, who barely have learnt to eat properly are going through proper tests and interview sessions in schools during admission procedure. Every parent holds the desire of admitting his child in the best school in the city, with the best infrastructure and teaching staff. But to their dilemma, parents, who run from pillar to post return empty-handed when their child are denied admission in certain school.
One such question is enough to confuse the child and when they are fired with mindless questions, they get confused and don’t answer. Kids are not smart enough to understand all this and as a result one can’t compel them to answer in the way they like, not even parents.
The situation is getting worst day-by-day, where schools that are at on top enjoy definitive power of dictating terms, when parents approach them for admission. The children and parents have to pass through a bevy of interviews as laid down by school authorities. The test pattern of the interview is also not as transparent as schools portray. Parents are deliberately asked to mention their annual income, their mutual relations (with the spouse and the family), area where they reside, type of accommodation, and whether they would be able to support their child's education in future. Such questions are extremely difficult for parents as they curtail their personal expenses to support the best education for their child. This is not the end to all embarrassments. As an icing on the cake, little children are shown letters to judge if they could identify letters. Although aware about it, a child can answer it easily.
But when teacher inverts the alphabet (Say when M is inverted, it becomes W), the child gets confused. Sometimes they are even asked unreasonable questions as to “Who he/she love more- mother or father” Can any child in the world differentiate between the love of their parents? How rude and irrational the situation can be for the child who doesn’t know how to answer it. The concept of taking such interviews has created much uproar among the educationists as well. Many of them have agreed on the point that these interviews aggravate ‘mental strain’. When you are trying to come out of the situation and eager to meet the higher authorities to clarify the scene, another so-called important person ‘gatekeeper’ stops from reaching to the higher ups. Not only this, he will humiliate you to an extent, that you start getting the feeling that the gatekeeper is next in authority.
Free observation for mapping child’s language skills or knowledge of natural call requirements can be helpful, but the stressful process of interviewing has put the tiny tots into tension and anxiety. Not only the dictatorship of these schools is bothersome, but the security guards too cause a lot of mental agony to the parents. Since parents are confused about the situation, the security makes the life more difficult on behalf of school authorities.
Counting on these reasons, is there any solution to the problem faced by parents of most toddlers? Are school authorities going to improve their procedure of admitting a child or parents have to shell out money to let them in? Whatever be the solution…the ultimate sufferer is the poor little kid only.
