How should the schools be managed.

                 Managing a school


In our country we look up to schools as a place of worship, as it is a place where we acquire knowledge "a tool which shapes our personality and gives us wisdom". In ancient times we used to have Gurukuls where children used to stay away from their families "like today's hostels" and acquire gyan "knowledge". Those times the knowledge acquired used to be something else now it is something else and the pedagogy also. 
Those times there used to be a single teacher in one Gurukul "School" but now there is a principal who manages a school and a few or more teachers who teach students. in this transition the management style has also changed. now principal knows a very little about children and on other hand students are taught by more than one teacher " a different teacher for different subject". 
In my view managing a school is not tough but easy. 

People important for school:

1. Principal
2. Teachers
3. Counselors

PRINCIPAL

His/her duty is to look after management of school. If the result of school is not satisfactory it means the principal is somewhere at fault. A good school is all about a good principal. It is very important for a principal to have right approach of managing. I believe if principal is good he/she alone can make the school top class in all fields be it board results or any competition. 
I have a very strong belief that if a school is good it can convert a below average student into a genius. If a school takes tough admission test to admit a student it means the school is week and it lacks the potential to impart right sets of skills in children.
A school can only be called as a good school if it admit students without any admission test and have the potential to give genius products to its nation.
I don't believe that their is even a single school which Applies all I said above in its operations.


TEACHERS

A good teacher is a teacher who is a good friend of students and I mean it. It should not be like "teachers say I am your good friend my children but children can not connect to him/her". unless the students can not connect with the teacher as their friend they cannot get maximum out of her/his teachings. Students can only take the real knowledge from a teacher they respect from heart. It is not easy to be a teacher. If I would have been a principal of a school, I tell you people it would be ten times tougher for a teachers to get recruited in my school than admission of a student. And I mean it. Remember principals, school is made from good teachers and not good students.


STUDENT COUNSELORS

I have seen many schools which do not feel importance of student counselors. They might have a thought that they are good enough to run school without a counselor but remember principals if your school doesn't have a counselor it lacks an essential ingredient to make a school a good school. Counselors do the job no other person of school can do. A counselor tackles the issues being faced by children which ultimately are affecting their career or personality growth. A counselor in a school is like salt in a dish.

A school is not a good school unless it holds the capability to convert a below average child into a genius.
So Schools please stop increasing fees unnecessarily and get set to face the real challenge.

DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO CREATE MORE LIKE HIM.!!!
