I am a school teacher in a government school. Our principal allows to bring mobile #phones to school. Students are very strictly instructed to use the same in rare emergencies. Most of the students go by this rule. They know this very well. If any student is seen making use of #mobile phone for #luxury, then there is a heavy fine that will be charged for the same.
As a teacher, I have observed that students among themselves talk about photos loaded on social media. As a teacher I find some photos cause #anxiety among students. Students try to compete with each other for the #collection of materialistic things. Which is not a good habit for teenagers.
These important issues, my school principal, Madam, raise in the ' parents-teacher meeting'. She counsels parents and says, "Parents should see to it that kids do not get attention of show business through social media photos. It is time for them to learn -reading, writing and using hands-on skills in the science lab. School is trying its level best to follow these rules. We teachers will be thankful to parents if they cooperate in this endeavor of the school. "
Many parents do #co-operate, but some are not able to do so. Teachers' burden in this case becomes more as they have to teach #skills and subject #contents, and at the same time have to #mend children so that they remain away from #social media impact.
Sometimes unknowingly, mothers of kids also talk about #photos on social media with their #kids without realizing that it is time for little pure #souls to gain some knowledge in #science, maths, languages and #communication skills. As a teacher think this can be #avoided.
Moral-Small children are like unbaked pitchers. We as teachers and parents should try our best to equip little angels with good manners, good reading and writing habits and communication skills.
