Care on School going children is not end with house entrance
Many people wave their hands to their school going children just from the entrance of the house. It is better to go up to the school bus/van by helping them to board in the bus/van. It is highly better if the school is within the house locality, to drop and pick up them from the school. It is good from the parents' side that the children should learn to go without anybody's help. Some parents are seen by me at the school entrance daily in spite of the teachers themselves told the parents not to accommodate with them. But for the safety from our side it is good to spend time for them to certain level of understanding. After some gap of time, they themselves go and return with their friends.Recently a child in a place near Chennai run behind the school bus after alighting down without expecting that the bus would take reverse. It got hit under the bus. There is no use in worrying or crying after facing such mishaps.
There are some arguments with objections from parents side on the accommodating with them while dropping and picking up from the schools. But seeing that some parents are fixing autos or van sending their children.
Of course, there are children going coming to the schools by city bus to the schools located at a distance and the State Government also offered free service for them in city buses. But I saw yesterday, two small children running behind the bus to catch at the bus stand and it seems to be painful.
