Importance of Extracurricular Activity in a Student's Growth



We all have heard the Hindi saying "Padhoge Likhoge to banoge Nawab, Kheloge Kudoge to Banoge Kharab" well, it's not true! At least not anymore. Research have shown that extracurricular activities help in a child's mental and physical growth, more than that it helps children grow necessary life skills like time management, social behavioural skills, team work, sense of responsibility, develop friendship. These skills are needed to not only grow as an important part of the community but also a sensible and happy human being. As grownups we do not give much thought to or maybe we just cannot fathom how much pressure a child faces while growing up, Pressure to do well in academics, pressure of high expectations from parents, school teachers, private tutors, etc. Most of the parent, especially in cities, pressure their children to do very good in academics, putting them in extra classes an all, covered with so many books a child sometimes misses the most important thing in his life, enjoying his childhood. By all means it is not wrong to push a child to do well in academics but we also need to ensure the right balance. A child needs time to see and learn new things, to wonder, to dreams, make new friends, as parents we need to make sure our children grow up mentally and physically healthy.
With the boom of sports and entertainment in the country there are numerous opportunities in the various sporting  fields, music & dance, singing, photography and many off-beat areas of interest where people are making fortunes. So, we don't need to push students towards becoming doctors and engineers as the previous generation did, we need to help them find their passion and guide them about how they can fulfil those passions and look towards future possibilities. And in this guiding process role of Parents and School teachers are equally important, that is why choosing a good school is an important task for parents. There are very few schools which are up-to such high standards and BDM International School is one of them, it has been voted the best CBSE School in Kolkata 2017.
BDMI promotes both academic and extracurricular activities, nourishing and nurturing students aspirations. BDMI has partnered with Microsoft to implement latest technology in education and help promote holistic learning in students.

Importance of Moral Values in Student’s Life

Moral Values are the worthy principles that one follows to distinguish the right from the wrong. These virtues are considered worthy in building up the character of an individual. Moral Value refers to the good virtues such as honesty, integrity, truthfulness, helpfulness, love, respectfulness, hard-work, etc. Students are the future of India. The future of our country depends upon the moral values convey to them during their student life. They will become doctors, politicians, business-person, engineers, scientists, etc., and hold important positions. Moral lessons should be properly implemented among students in school. Students have great observation power. They observe their parents at home and their teacher at school. They always repeat what they observe and this practice builds their character. The method of teaching moral values to students is universal. It is the most important duty of the teachers and parents. If a child observes his teachers/parents to be t...

Is there any difference between morning schools and day schools?

Quite a few proposals around improving performance the academic performance of students involve very costly interventions. Even though many of these surely come accurate on the cost-benefit tests, but they surely can be enormously challenging, both politically and economically, to ensure a successful functioning and implementation. A possible way involves changing the ways in which schools are conducted. For instance, in a recent policy proposal, Jacob and Rockoff suggest three low-cost ways to conduct schools that can ensure maximised student performance: i. clubbing elementary and middle schools into single buildings; ii. optimize teacher assignment; and iii. Starting the school in the later half of the day for middle and high school students. But more so than other, their third idea seems particularly actionable because it does not have the need of new buildings to be built, and the nature of teachers’ jobs would not significantly change. Schools that start elementary schools lat...
