Child & Education.

It is true that a child must be given utmost importance in the society. Rousseoue correctly says that " child is the father of man". I also strongly feel that for the progress of a nation, its children must be reared -up very love & care. But alas! in my country they are treated with negligience and indiference. No one has the time to give affection & care towards them.
Mother is the first teacher of a child. Educated mothers are mostly working mothers and house-wives either illiterate or nor realising its importance. In my opinion there is no place of scolding-or beating a child. But I see every-where that children are being treated with cruelty. Their child-hood is suppressed by labour and wihms of parents.
Even at schools they are not given proper treatment. They are subjects of most insensivity in Government schools. There is a bit better situation in private schools, bit not at all satisfactory. Their innnocence is ruined by social senario.
Children are our future treasure, who will be strong pillers of our country. How can a nation be strong, whose children are neglected. I am very much senstive towards childhood. If I see some-one to be cruel towards children, I can't forget through my life. It leaves tremendous impact on my mind.
First of all mothers must give full time to their children and tenderly educate them with care & love. Love never spoils a child. Have only as many children as you can look after.
Secondly our schools should admit children only according to their schools' capacity. Children are not be treated like machines or tools. They are the hope of our nation. Bringing-up our children with extreme care will lead our country to great heights.
