Schools remain closed as the pandemic<\/a> leaves a major impact on the entire world. Be it a health crisis and\/or economic crisis, the fear that it has created is overwhelming.<\/p>\n

We cannot move, think, or even sleep the way we used to! Education has been affected in many ways; good and bad. Although the entire academic term has been disturbed, at the same time online education<\/a> has become a popular norm and I think as a nation we are doing well.<\/p>\n

I am happy to see how schools have completely trained their teachers and admin staff and shifted from a physical campus to an online campus.<\/p>\n

But what does this mean for schools that are minting money in the name of expensive buildings, facilities, rents, etc, and putting all the burden on parents?<\/p>\n

Secondly, when there is a fee cut due to the government’s decision, the pressure shifts to the teachers. This is completely uncalled for!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we live in a country where education is very expensive if one wants a quality education. The government fails to provide above-average education while private schools are charging heavy fees for the facilities they offer.<\/p>\n

But in these conditions where buildings are closed and there are hardly any utility bills, why do parents have to keep reminding schools of the 20% fee cut announced by the government?<\/p>\n

If school owners cannot display compassion in these circumstances, what are they teaching our children?<\/p>\n

Suggestions for Schools<\/h3>\n

I have a few recommendations for these well to do schools:<\/p>\n

Kindly make reasonable concessions like 10-15% but don\u2019t shift the cut on to our hardworking teachers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do not use your school buildings for some time in order to cut utility costs.\u00a0 Keep in contact with all your employees online. Big companies like Facebook<\/a> can do that, then why can\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

Why are you even calling teachers and admin staff to school buildings (even if it is occasionally and for a shorter time period) when you know that someone can get infected and then spread the virus around?<\/p>\n

To all the Parents<\/h3>\n

As parents<\/a>, please be a little patient with the teachers. They have a lot on their plates. One day I entered my son\u2019s room while he was taking his online class (Grade 6) and I heard a baby\u2019s voice on his computer and I whispered to my son, \u201cWho is that?\u201d and he replied, \u201cMy teacher\u2019s son.\u201d It made me so sad!<\/p>\n

Teachers have their own kids to look after and at the same time they have to attend online classes. That\u2019s a very tough job! Imagine if you are a businessman or a banker and you have to conduct meetings with clients while your baby is sitting in your lap!<\/p>\n

Life is already tough. Let\u2019s make it easy for each other. School owners need to be more considerate towards their staff.\u00a0 Parents need to provide a helping hand to teachers and ignore their small mistakes.<\/p>\n

This is what this pandemic is about; being kind, being there for each other, holding together in these times so that Allah may shower His blessings on us! What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
