A reputed CBSE Affiliated school conducted a unique way of “Around the world Fair” (All 8 corners of world under one roof) in school for parents through students. As the school has spent decent amount of money to bring the concept into reality, and more importantly to make everyone know about the importance of the fair, the school has sent notice to parents for payment of Rs- 100/- for each visitor, if they wish to see the entire fair. The next day few of the parents have reacted and send the children to school with cut-outs saying that we don’t have money, and we could not able to pay money, why should we pay money for my children work…etc. Many people have a misunderstanding about learning outcomes through different activities at school. As they think, it is meant for non-scholastic areas but in reality activities has become an important aspect of modern education and anyone can take up these as a specialized subject for making a career.
