Suhani -Whats importance for Students- Good School-Talented teachers or Parents?
Akhilesh Chaturvedi-In my opinion, all the three elements are equally significant. A good school proves as a ground for education; a talented teacher imbibes the knowledge into the child and the parent helps nourishes the child with vigour.
Suhani -Many of the parents have thinking that if their child is in big school there is no more responsibilities for them to take care of their wards in studies. what do u think about this?
Akhilesh Chaturvedi-Every parent owes the onus of helping their children with academics at home. Merely admitting a child to some bigger school cannot absolve the parent from the responsibility. In my opinion, parent should help the child with his / her academics and must necessary convey feedback to the concerned teacher during ptm. This will always be great help to the teacher and the child.
