You’re walking
through the corridors; the tension seems familiar somehow. You rumble through
your backpack; you know your work is incomplete. Excuses running through your
head; half of them have been used before. You take a deep breath and look at
your watch; you’re already running five minutes late. You start jogging now but
decide to quickly wash your face before going in; you didn’t have enough sleep
last night. You look at yourself in the mirror but weirdly enough, you see a
girl in a uniform you’ve definitely worn before. With a gasp you look down at
yourself… Aw Snap! You’re back to school.
Back to school
was a program arranged for the middle school parents on the 9th of
February. In this program, parents came to school and attended classes like a students
on a normal school day. Subjects like ICT and DT were taught by students and
the rest were taken by normal teachers. After this experience, parents seemed
to have more of a feel of what and how their children were learning. They were
familiarized with the structure of the day and were engaged in various
activities.
I for one was a
volunteer in an ICT classroom. We taught some parents the procedure for making
a blog. At first, the parents seemed hesitant but later most of the parents
couldn’t seem to get their faces out of their laptop screens! They all made
some unique blogs on parenting in which they added pictures, comments and
templates. They all enjoyed it and some of them even thought of maintaining a
blog for themselves.
