Behaviors
Behaviors actually are reflections of our personal life and
personality.
Behaviors have great impact on our inter-personal and social
life.
Behaviors make up and spoil our character.
In every-day life where our personal and social life depends
upon each others support. We cannot live
our lives in isolation. Every moment we need each other’s support for economic
needs and matters, and also for social life we help one another morally and by
all other means of human development. We are always ready to support one
another in happiness and sorrows. We have to keep up the relations in all
situations. Spiritually we need each other, whenever someone is in problem or
sick we always pray for him/ her, we extend greetings and prayers and best
wishes. We at once change behaviors and try to show our sympathies for others
and always show positive behavior.
Living our lives with all these social, emotional, economic
concerns and spiritual concerns, we always show good gestures being human in
nature. But beyond all these moral and social ethics we some times get aggressive
and more emotional and create problems for other society members, and make the
environment sad and frustrating.
We have to think and see how we can
Promote positive behaviors in the society
How through these positive behaviors, we can build healthy society.
How we can overcome our anger, emotional, submissive and aggressive attitude
to end hatred to change society into peaceful community/society.

EMPATHY
Empathy is also known as "being able to put yourself in someone
else's shoes". It's the trait whereby we understand the feelings, behaviors
and intentions of others, and care. It obviously helps kids to socialize with
others and makes school a happier place.
Some experts say that Empathy is more important than reading and writing
it promotes good behavior, problem solving, confidence and decreases bullying.
How can we develop empathy in our children?
Is it something we learn in schools? Or these lessons come from their
parents.
Without empathy you can-not have meaningful friendship
Empathy is the first stage of conflict resolution.
How terrible the summer in Pakistan
The world is beautiful place in the universe, when the world
will become peaceful place? God created this world peaceful place on earth. But
the natural and man-made circumstances has spoiled the environment and made
this place a terrible place for living things, which include humans, animals
and birds.
The increasing developments to find more and more facilities
and leisure’s for life, the scientific changes have destroyed the natural
beauty of the world.
As writer in the essay “whistling of birds” describes that
winter in western parts of the world is not source of life, but it becomes
source of death for the birds.
Winter season in Pakistan is not much terrible in the
eastern sides but it is worse in the north. In Pakistan northern areas do not
have many developments for safe and security regarding weather conditions in
winter and also infrastructure is poor for people’s safety as well as for
animals.
If we talk about summer season in Pakistan, as many writers
they describe their observations that winter is worse and terrible in western
countries, I would say that hot weather or summer is terrible in plain areas in
Pakistan. Especially for the poor people the summer is not a blessing but
------------.
The temperature is at peak in plain areas, it increases up
to 50 c0 . The sun radiations makes everything warm, even it
sometime burn everything.
It is very surprising fact that people die of heat, just
they did not have facilities to keep themselves safe. In whistling of birds,
the writer says that birds die of winter, but here in our part of world humans
die of hot summer, medical treatment, die of dengue, die of hunger etc. these are
strange facts.
In summer most of the population of Pakistan sleeps outside
in the courtyards of the house or in the streets under the open sky. Large
numbers of communities do not enjoy basic facilities. Majority of the
population live in 500 -800 sq-ft houses along with 8-10 family members, where
some people wait for one another to go for job and others get chance to sleep.
Most of the population are laborers have to work in the hot weather. That means
these people do not enjoy comfort at work place and also do not have facility
at home to sleep in peaceful and calm place.
Load shedding (power failure) is bitter truth which has made
peoples life unsafe and miserable. People are helpless to claim for peaceful
life. Hot summer weather is one calamity but the other man made calamity has
been imposed by the government on the poor people.
Hot weather in summer is very dangerous for humans but it is
terrible for animals and birds. Especially street dogs and cats and other pet
animals die in summer. Summer becomes terrible when these animals and birds do
not find place to hide them from hot calamity.
I myself feel frightened, when spring is passing and summer
is going to start. I compare it as it is natural calamity from God, now people
who are not strong enough to bear the hot weather conditions will be in
difficulty. Hot summer will disturb many lives. When there is no electricity
people use to hide under the shades of trees and walls. Hours and hours heat
plays with the lives of people. The sweating sometimes causes dehydration and
ends at death penalty.

LEARNING DIFFERENCES AMONG CHILDREN
Now a days we see that children are very active and good learners.they have good communication skills and are keen observer. The school going children are more interested in extra curricular activities and participated in learning opportunities.some of the students have best learning powers
but some students take time to understand the things. it is the duty of parents and teachers to help them and guide them regarding subject matter give them proper time table and share their difficulties .the activities of brilliant students must be watched they must utilize their talent in positive direction .teachers counselors and parents must find their best interest.learning difference is not a big issue ,but development a sincere understanding can enhance their learning abilities.
AMANA is a small girl of sixth standard .she forgets her lesson in exams ,so she need more practice of learning but parents instead of helping are more anxious about her grades in class .she shared that her class teacher do not appreciate her for having good writing skill.she is innocent and can be improved with love care attention and mutual understanding of parents and teachers
thanks.

Values
of Education
Every
day we learn values of Education in our life. Values make our way of life and
give us direction to live our life in a successful manner. The society,
institutions teach us values. The most useful and powerful way to learn values is
considered the educational institutional platforms. Where children in their
early ages are sent to get education for life, which comprises of social and
educational learning of academics, traditional and cultural values. What are
values of education actually?
Values
of Education actually are to learn to live according to the cultural and traditional
norms of the society. We adopt our own culture and traditions and grow
accordingly and pass on to our generations the values of our forefathers and
society. In Schools and Universities we go to learn human values like; Respect, love, Responsibility, loyalty,
punctuality and many others.
Values
of Educations make the society more civilized. Values of education also promote
and enhance our old traditional values. A value of education also creates
diversity through institutional learning. Values of education also provide an
opportunity to people of diverse cultures to come together and learn each other’s
culture and traditions.
In
today’s world people are more materialistic, more professional, more selfish
and do not bother about values of culture and traditions. People are on
facebook, cell phones all the time for business, and information, and finding
entertainment. It does not make difference among the parents and children.
When
we talk about values of education, and we see the changing trends of our
education system, and daily changing social behaviors of the children and
elders, for a moment we find our-selves no- where that our children really
growing in a society where they are learning values. The social media is
playing vital role in promotion of cultural and traditional values. The diversity
in cultural and traditional values making the children learn all cultures and
we are forgetting our own traditions. I see decade back, when I can remember
that children were taught about cleanliness in the schools, the students were
obeying the teachers to clean their class (picking the wrappers) after the
break during school time. But now days I have experienced that teachers can-not
order the students to pick up the wrappers. Students simply say that, I am not
servant, although may be that child would belong to very poor class of society.
The diversity
in education has changed the class room teaching and learning. In this Era of social
media, the children although they belong to poor family background or rich
family background have earned self-respect.
In this
Era of diversity in education system, children have also earned to learn
abusive culture. Children have been reached early in their age of maturity. The
teen age have been reduced to its maximum age of 9 years.
The schools are failing to teach children the
values of respect, love and responsibility.
It was
time when students only listen to teachers for values, that my teacher has
taught me to respect parents. But now days children follow face book posts that
values are only that what my friends are saying……….
If we
look back decade or two.. in government schools values of education period was
taken on every Friday, which was called “ Bazam-e- Adab” and values of love,
respect and discipline were taught. But now days it is surprise to share that
in this “Bazam-e-Adab period students on the assembly point are told about “Dengue”
mosquito or other issues. The awareness
on health issues has overcome values of education.

Standards of Education in Pakistan
Pakistan does not have proper standards of education and
there is no equality in the education system. There are no opportunities for
the poors to have access in the well renowned educational institutions. In this
computer age, yet Pakistan’s billions of children are out of schools. The
primary level education has alarming situation. There are barriers and
challenges for the parents to have access to primary school for their children
enrolment. There are many international and national, local NGO’S playing vital
role for the enrolment of rural areas children to get into schools. The
question arises here that, will these children stay long time in the schools
for regular education?
How standards can promote equality in the education systems?
The education system in Pakistan varies between Public/Govt.
and Private schools and institutions. There is no clear fee structure in the
private schools and institutions. There is not enough qualified staff and
salaries of the teachers. There is no clarity about the strength of the
students in the classrooms. Due to over strength and lack of no. of teachers in
the schools, the quality education and standards of education and results are
not achieved.
In many rural areas of the remote districts of Punjab and
other provinces, there is no check and balance of day to day activities and
regularity of the students and teachers in the schools.
It has been observed over the past years that government has
appointed qualified young staff members in the remote rural areas, and the
schools physical infrastructure has been improved. But there is still great need
of monitoring and evaluation of punctuality of the students and teachers. There
is great need of regular training workshops and seminars for the newly
appointed teachers to develop systems instead of getting use to of the old traditions
and systems.

SCHOOL
S AND ACADEMIES
When we talk about Schools and
Academies lot questions comes in mind. Why children are sent to school? Why children
are sent to Academies? What is the difference between School and Academy? Why schools
are not performing well that children rush towards academy to get good marks? Why
schools are not offering quality education? Why teachers do not teach well in
the schools? Why teachers in Academies teach well, and students believe that
they will get good marks?
Education has become nowadays a “big
business”
Studying
6-7 hours in school and 3-4 hours in academy affect the social life of the
students.
First of all if we look into the
difference between school and academy, there are many factors involve which
makes the difference, like Efficiency/Performance, information/awareness. In many
ways schools and academies are same types of institution; academies are short
term but also small institutions. But schools are long term institutions with big
infrastructures. Now day’s schools also work like academies in the evening time
just to raise income for survival. Schools
provide full environment to the students for studies, but academies to some
extent provide environment of studies but lack some criteria for facilities. No Difference between schools and
academies but is just to raise money or earn business.
Sending child in two places for
studies increase burden on child’s mind and stop physical growth. Mostly children
do not eat healthy food due to engagement in studies all the time; they just
eat biscuits, chips, cold drinks etc.
Most of the parents are
illiterate or do not have time to teach or do not have ability to teach. So they
find tutors for their children and the parents are ready to spend extra money
for tuitions.
Schools sometimes impose teaching
therefore teachers do not bother to teach well in the class room, mostly
teachers in schools do not teach with responsibility and sometimes suggest
children to join academies. There are two reasons for these problems, the
teachers have low income or salaries, and pressure from the management, and are
engaged into extra- curricular activities so that teachers cannot teach
properly.
Many academies are producing good
results, but these academies increase tuition fee as they get good results,
this is something strange trend, which shut the doors for poor students to
enter the good academies.
I would say “For Education, there
must be balanced approach for promotion, where all must have equal opportunities
and access for study”.

Summer Vacations in Pakistan every year starts as the sun
heat increases across the country. This year in 2017 summer vacations across
the Punjab started with the increase in heat. As private and Govt. schools not
having enough heat prevention facilities for the children to accommodate in the
schools, so children are bound to stay home for 2 and half month for rest or
studies.
It is a big question for all of us that why children given
summer holidays?
a)
Is it for rest or to keep them safe from heat?
b)
What is the purpose of summer homework?
c)
What is the purpose of summer camps for children?
d)
Why to pay summer vacation fee to schools?
e)
Picnic/tours
Parents and teachers do not think that children must take
rest during summer vacations, the children are sent to summer camps near the
home based schools, they are sent to academies, or home tuitions are arranged
to keep the child busy for study.
Does Summer Camp means to study only or to enjoy time by
studying together with children groups?
Yes summer camp means to enjoy summer time by improving
learning by different healthy activities. Children are put together into groups
to study, either the syllabus text or another topics on social issues or
current affairs. So by enjoying children learn more. Summer camp gives tension
free environment to children to learn without any kind of fear or burden.
As we see the weather conditions children do not bother about
heat they want to enjoy in all circumstances. Parents want to keep them busy. Schools
authorities given them homework to keep them in touch with studies instead of
wasting time at home. Schools are worried about that if the child will stay
home for couple of months and will not study will forget many things and that’s
why the home work is designed for the children.
What are the advantages of summer vacation homework for
children?
a) Children get
time to study.
b) Children write,
and improve their handwritings.
c) Make best use of
time during summer for studies
d) Improve their
learning while studying with parents in
their leisure time
During summer vacations children also enjoy
tours to hill stations with their parent. These tours are different from study
tours as they visit with fellow children.
Every child enjoy different time during summer,
some visit hills or some visits their relatives and stay with them long and
enjoy with their cusions or friends, and enjoy Luddo, Carom board, cricket in
the streets, orWednesday, 21 June 2017
