<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIt has to be noted, however, that for many teachers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whatever stance you opt to take however, it cannot be denied that an international organisation has come in and assessed the school in question against their benchmarks. For a parent, that should provide some reassurance that the school, at the very least, is adhering to established benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Rajan Kaloo, the Director of Services at elc International School, suggests \u201cparents need to spend time in the school of choice, watching the students interact with teachers and their peers. Get a feel for the way they behave and talk \u2013 this will give a sense of the school as a whole. Regardless of what may appear to be state-of-the -art facilities,<\/a> ask whether there is an ambiance for learning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We need to remember that gone are the days when a school\u2019s raison d\u2019\u00eatre was only to produce knowledgeable students. It was once believed that social skills and mental health were a given, and students were sufficiently active physically. Life skills were exactly that, skills that one picked up in life and teachers did not need to actively impart life skills.<\/p>\n\n\n We are guiding Generation Z \u2013 the first generation born into the age of social media. They do not know life before social media and consequently now live a life<\/p>\n\n\n\n know it. There is a great desire among them for independence while all too often, the reality is of grudging dependence. Mental health issues have become the new norm due to the existence and pressures of social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is necessary for teachers now to develop student life skills. Students need to have high self-esteem and resilience to survive in today\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdmissions and websites are designed to sell, so trust what you see with your own eyes and your own instincts\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
