Time is changing and kids are growing fast. A decade back, kids used to start going to school at an age of five, this has gown down to three now and in some countries it is even lower. At this age, kids can definitely not select what’s right and wrong for them and therefore, it is the responsibility of parents to find out a suitable school for their kids.
Parents will find following points useful while making the right selection of school for their kids:
a) Reputation of school : First of all, one should ensure that the school in which their little ones are going to study is a well known school and is recognized by the government. If your close ones have their children already in that school, then you can discuss about the school with them and they can also help you out in this matter.
b) Personal visit : Do not select a school from the ads you see in the news paper. Now days, marketing has become so vibrant that there are lots of schools, which have mushroomed everywhere and their sole motive is to make money and therefore they spend heavily on their marketing.
c) Research : Even if the school is a reputed one, you should do a proper research about it on your own. Nothing can substitute a firsthand experience and therefore do not believe anything till you have done your own research and are satisfied by it.
d) Wrong selection : If unfortunately, you have selected a wrong school and came to know about it later, then there is no need to worry and regret it. Instead make sure that you learn from this better experience and use this experience to enrich your knowledge and select a better school for your kid the next year.
After you kid has grown up and he needs to change the school because of subjects or any other reason, do consider this opinion in this matter as well. Always remember that a child spends almost half of his life in his school and the experience he gets from it helps him to evolve as a better person in future. Selecting a right school for him will surely help him in this evolution process and therefore, do take out ample time to select the right school for him and do not hesitate to change school if you do not find it up to the mark.
