Due to addiction of children to gadgets these days, children more like to play with these gadgets, avoiding outdoor games. Out door games keeps children healthy not only physically but mentally. Kids are going sick to these gadgets. I have seen in many families that some children cannot live without these gadgets, and if you try to keep away them from these gadgets they cry and ready to leave everything for gadgets. So its the responsibility of parents to keep away their children from these gadgets.

Exactly. Expressing one's view needs command over that particular language. Else the very purpose of communication will be defeated.

Nah.. I don't know Hindi.. I can teach him French. I made my decisions based on both our comfort levels. He is not the only one to say the truth 3/4 of his class has shifted to French when the option was offered.  That is not my point, my point is inculcate a love for Indian languages.. not make the syllabus heavy and scare children.. its a language.. speak it, get them to  love it. This is where we seem to fail.

So I have now stopped watching such channels, how ever I must say, that the specific mudda in debate here was quite entertaining. But it is also quite sad to know that such incidents present our country in such a poor light. Exactly, I keep myself away from such TV shows. We know the TV channels  live on sensationalism. Knowing this fact why one should buy headache ?

When one has to shout, he/she has nothing important to say. He/she has to depend on their lung power more than brain power. We can have peaceful debates, meaningful ones and which will teach the younger generations some lessons from what is happening around them. Our approach seems to be flawed.

Media always lives on sensationalism. It's their staple food. That's why I shy away from such shows.

I agree with you. Hostile behavior and no regard for teachers are much prevalent in the parent generation students. Then who is responsible for this sad state affairs ? Both parents and teachers are responsible. I can understand working parents in this regard are helpless.

Sometimes subjects of the debate are good but the discussion remains inconclusive because the spokespersons are not ready to leave one inch of their ground and accept the reality. No one is interested in introspection about what went wrong but believes in passing the buck on others.     The media cannot come up with solutions, just sensationalism. The shout and rant hoping to get rake up the passions of others. Its just playing around with people's emotions.

@rambabu It's true that the education system has become a farce. This is one system where every day some or the other experiment is going on. Well, about counselling I stress on the point that the students need to be motivated through counselling. They must be made aware of not leaving school. There is one more problem I have observed that nowadays the students are extremely disrespectful towards their teachers and parents hardly take a step regarding it. Thus, there is a huge gap in communication between a teacher and a student. In such a position education suffers a lot.

Exactly. These debates remind of fish markets where only Din is heard. Each one tries to show their superiority over the other. And all of them talk at a time.

Walking can be done in evenings too. Morning walk  will have an advantage of surroundings free from dust and din.  Anyhow its your choice.
