A child's mind is open to learning new things every now and then. And yet, school somehow becomes a joyless experience for most of them. Every morning, parents find it difficult to send their primary-school going children to their respective schools. One reason for this could be that children find it a monotonous activity to go to school every day as they find no charm in doing so. What is more worrying is that our school teachers still have a tendency to abuse students verbally and physically, despite the practice being illegal in Bangladesh.
Children and young adults spend six to seven hours every day in schools for nearly 9 to 10 months in a year. This is the period of their lives where they spend more time with the teachers as compared to their families. And what they learn here leaves a lifelong impact on them. So, why not invest in showing what happiness and joy feels like today so the children can create that for themselves and others when they are older?
Going to school needs to be made attractive and joyful to the young learners. To keep little children interested in their school, there needs to be out-of-the-box thinking on how to make the classroom more attractive. The government and primary schools should come up with new ideas so that the children can look forward to going to school every day.
