RTE
A few poor children are given admission into fancy schools. Where the rich children ook down on them.
If instead the rich children are made to move into the schools poor children are in, then we will see the social changes we speak of !
But that will need that each of us owns up change in our own lives.
Sunny Pawar That's impossible
Aparna Krishnan
Aparna Krishnan why ?
Sunny Pawar No rich child will go to poor school... In fact their parents are desperate to send them to a more elite institution....
Aparna Krishnan why ?
Sunny Pawar Such is the trend I hv seen, I may be wrong
Aparna Krishnan You are right . The question is why ?
Balasubramaniam Muthusamy aparna - be happy that someone atleast thought about a legal entilement. In the present political scenario - you can't even think about it
Aparna Krishnan Entitlement to what ?!! For a few poor, by lottery, to enter the privileged spaces of the rich, and feel poorer ! Its not a great deal. We can do much better.
Balasubramaniam Muthusamy aparna - you try speaking that language to the new political dispensation. all this is a power game and needs to be fought is a grim reality. During UPA time, the economists and other important people created these options. not sure if such policies will be looked at in the near future
Aparna Krishnan yes. its not just the political dispension. its us. how many rich people will be willing to place their children in the same schools as the poor. i address us.
Aparna Krishnan if we reform, the dispension will !
Balasubramaniam Muthusamy i agree. But that is big IF
Aparna Krishnan If and only if.
Davia Mason That idealistic approach can backfire.
Aparna Krishnan The ideal has to be accepted. Then one works in the greys of here and now.
