Top 3 Qualities of a Good School
You can take a student out of the school but you can’t the school out of the student. Most schools today have an above-average infrastructure and learning environment. This makes finding the top school in Ajmer a real daunting task. But worry not we have you covered on this.
Here are the top 3 qualities of a good school that parents must definitely look for.
- The Objective
We would say this is the most important quality. Especially if we consider the list of schools in Ajmer, we realize that most schools over emphasize on academics. Parents may say this is exactly what they look for. But as the saying goes “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”, parents must look for a school that pays equal, if not more, impetus on sports and extracurricular activities too. - The Teachers
I remember one of my Physics teachers once asked the students in our class to raise their hands whose parents (one or both) were either Doctors and Engineers. Very surprisingly only 5 children, in a class of 70, raised their hands.
The point was to make us realize that even if we fail to crack our IIT JEE or AIIMS Paper, life is not going to end for us. John Dewey says, “Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself.” Good teachers lay the path for a glorious life for their students. And good work never goes unrecognized.
If you feel a particular school is good for a child, there is no reason why there would not be a great word of mouth from someone (other parents, colleagues, neighbors or websites) about the school and the teachers.
- The Overall Learning Environment
A mistake is the best way to learn. This could not have been truer for children. Children are not adults and they are supposed to make mistakes repeatedly. Hence, as parents, it is our primary responsibility to choose a school that offers a congenial learning environment for one and all students.
Parenting is a mammoth task in the digital age. At a time when instagrams and facebooks are the new hobbies for children, the responsibility for school as well as parents could not have been more important. Hence, it is equally important that parents actively take part in their child’s education and not leave everything at the school’s behest. What this means is equal participation and coordination with the school at all fronts with minimum complaints.
