Success in life is guaranteed by the wings of education and creativity. While creativity is gifted, education is taught; and schools play an elemental part in the history of one’s education.
And though it is expected from a school (especially the best ones) to inculcate habits and virtues that lead a child from ignorance to bliss, a school cannot do anything for our own betterment, unless we ourselves wish to do the same. And if we do not wish to do something about it, we shall soon follow the path to our own doom and defeat.
An example to the argument could be that of a student. If a student is weak in his subjects and has a tutor, he cannot be helped unless the student is ready to show interest. Without such a mindset, however much a teacher tries, the student shall never learn. In the same way, the school does its best for our education, it gives us a vision which will be guided by wisdom, nurtured and grown to help build a new world to be bonded by the spirit of unanimity.
The mission of a school is to prepare children who have courage and heroism, scholars who demand themselves for tireless labour and inner discipline. It is the school which provides these younglings an insight directed towards self-control and self-mastery. A school is engaged in providing facilities and opportunities to students to develop strong and healthy bodies, clear and wide minds, resolute will power and ever-widening horizons of knowledge and even of wisdom. A school is dedicated to serve the highest interests of nation-building that can ensure vast synthesis of knowledge and harmonious perfection of the individual and the collectivity.
What makes a school important for students is its duty to ensure an all-round development of personality through efficient education and cultural caliber with total dedication. To import education to all, irrespective of their caste, creed and color is what a school stands for. In an atmosphere of purity, efficiency, discipline and fraternity is wisdom earned, and developed in fullness of versatile personality and self governance through training so that there is total dedication to the service of mankind.
A school gifts its kindred knowledge, and not the choice to use it, control it or ignore it. It can provide the encouragement to improve self-confidence and creativity through participation, but not the virtue itself. A school can develop creative potential of children through painting, music and other arts, but not the choice to imbibe them. Beyond that, a school cannot change a man to build a will to act or abstain.
What we see today is but a reflection of our own neglect. Today the young brawl to assert their act of ignorance and exemption. This does not confer sensibility but idiocy. Springing to a more alarming expanse to the problem, the concept of teaching( whether textual or incident) as a burden and a source of worthless inconvenience grows fast as an idea when one does not understand the essence of it- that education is not for the sake of anyone else but for their very own selves. Because education accounts for our own success, and not that of our parents or teachers; it is you to be the sufferer and the winner, the seeker and the prey, a symbol of success or a lingering shadow of darkness and neglect.
Once we truly believe and take a step to acknowledge our need for the school and the school for us, it shall be the end of those long sought demented quarrels.
A school is well aware about its duty towards its students and performs them too, but their hard work shall be in vain until those who are just not ready to understand its need as for their own, face that inevitable truth …..
