Are the posts related to books not accepted by ISC?

Just a querry! Editors,

I posted a topic in knowledge centre related to books and educational books. Today found it was deleted and not accepting any further posts. So there are not space for books in ISC event in posted in Books thread? If books related posts are not been accepted by ISC that's also fine. If editors give exact feedback what we suppose to rectify then we can!

I couldn't find place hence posted in forum section about books, hope that's right place.
Please guide where can we post these topics on ISC?

Geeta,

Can you be very specific about the topic you tried to post? Topic related to books is not at all clear and it can be anything like a review of the book, about a topic discussed in the book or why one should read the book. I would request you go through the announcement thread on Knowledge Centre to understand what it really is and what you should post there.

If topics are not accepted after the deletion I think a couple of your topics were deleted during the past few days and hence this automatic rejection. It is because of a violation and will be automatically restored after a certain period.

The first topic you mentioned is not at all clear and is not for Knowledge Centre in any way. The educational field is really big and it is not understood what you meant to say by educational books. It is not providing any direction. The same thing applies to your second topic which is also on educational books. The other three are just questions for the sake of posting a topic and are not fit for KC. I hope it is now clear why your five topics are deleted.

To understand the essence of the Knowledge Centre, I would request you to please go through what Knowledge Centre is and also the topics which are discussed there. Look into the Trending Topics and the way they are answered. I am sure by doing this you will have an idea about what is accepted and what is not accepted.

Thank you Sankalan Sir for your detailed info on why we should not post the points 1-to-5. Still I disagree with your statements on books that they are not related to education/knowledge centre.

If "Top ICSE schools in ... ...." can be approved as educational post in KC then why not "Top 10 must read books in ...? No hard feelings sir. As you are senior member and editor I would take your suggestions ! May be it is required factor for for boosting ISC.

I would try to be more spefic now onwards and post topics truley connected to the trending topics posted in Knowledge Centre. But not agree on your points related to books. The word book itself speaks about education.

Geeta, your analogy is not understood. How can you compare a topic asking for ten best CBSE schools and a topic on ten best books, in different languages? Books are, no doubt, part of education but then there are so many different genres in literature and you can't say that all such books are educative. We do learn something form each and everything or person around us and that is also part of education only but can we say that it is academic in nature? I don't think. The gist is that the contents you post in KC should be related to education based on academics.

You may post a thread on a specific book in the forum but that should call for a discussion. I don't think a general thread on books or introducing a particular book without any scope for discussion would be acceptable in the forum too. The posting guidelines, I think, are quite clear on the subject and a revisit to the thread may be of help to you.

Why K.G schools are everywhere even they are not able to impart good education?

Could someone please let me know what's wrong in this topic? I like to understand little more so can take precaution in future. I am learning here more precisely.

Arvind Kuril,

Be specific in the topic. What did you want to mean through the topic? Is it related to any specific KG school, or did you mean that KG schools in general have no role in imparting education? Is it true in any way that KG schools everywhere are unable to provide meaningful education?

I hope it clarifies why such topics should not be posted.

Sankalan Bhattacharya,

Do we get chance to reframe the topic or just reject and delete is the system?

Arvind Kuril,

Let me make things more clear-
First of all, the topics that you are posting in the new section are more suitable for forum discussions (only those related to academics, of course). In the KC section, you could look at the current ones and get an idea of suitable topics. Anything related to professional courses, admissions, study abroad, careers, scholarships, etc is good enough for the new section.

Secondly, do not submit an answer to the topic till it is approved. You will know that it is approved once it appears under 'submit an answer now'. Optionally, you can check under 'My Topics'. When you click on 'Add content to this topic' and you are able to do so, then submit; otherwise, the status of the topic will show as deleted, and the message that the topic currently does not accept answers (as mentioned by you in your response #772698 above).

Thirdly, if you are coming up with a topic like the KG one in the forum, as Sankalan pointed out, you need to bring more clarity to what you are trying to convey instead of some vague generalized text. What you are trying to say is likely that playschools are sprouting everywhere and whether they are really beneficial in educating the child (I think though that this has been discussed in the forum earlier so no use having a repeat discussion on it). KG classes are part of the formal schooling system, so I don't think that is what you meant.

If you still require further guidance, let us know. We'll be glad to help.

Answering your query in response #772706 - No. Once a topic is deleted, we cannot edit it. It is also advisable not to reframe it because if it was good enough for the KC section, the editor would have done so and reframed it/made the necessary corrections.
