RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge - S7W1 | The Diary Game, 03/01/2023, Back to school, back to reality!
I am not sure about the sense and nonsense of school uniforms... My children had to wear them in England. They didn't serve the purpose of creating more equality among pupils, irrespective of social status, etc. It was brand-name mobile phones, brand-name shoes or brand-name jewellery that created the visible differences or simply the material of the uniforms (cashmere vs. polyester...) They also did not noticeably create unity and cohesion. So I question the principle of cultivation, like any kind of uniform!
Ich bin mir nicht sicher über Sinn und Unsinn der Schuluniformen... Meine Kider mußten sie in England auch tragen. Den Zweck, für mehr Gleichheit unter den Schülern zu sorgen, unabhängig von sozialem Status etc. haben sie nicht erfüllt. Da waren es dann Marken-Handys, Marken-Schuhe oder Marken-Schmuck, die für die sichtbaren Unterschiede gesorgt haben oder schlicht das Material der Uniformen (Kaschmir vs. Polyester...) Für Einigkeit und Zusammenhalt sorgten sie auch nicht spürbar. Also ich zweifle das Prinzip gepflegt an, wie jede Art Uniformierung!
Best of all... they have one sport class and they come home with one shoe or without the blazer which is just never to be found.
Now, I didn't mentioned it in my post but laptops are now the in thing.
We were told on parents night that although the kids have textbooks they MUST have laptops for submitting tasks. Not just any laptop, it must be touch screen and have the latest Windows.
A 12 year old boy cannot even look after his mobile phone let alone a laptop.
So yah, here we go, another R 10,000 (3,000 STEEM)
Is there a way to get a stipend...? Two of my children had the luck. My daughter via HighQ and one of my sons for sports. I think without this I couldn't realize their educational career.
What counts against him is the 6 months he was in a small “home schooling” school.
He will have to build his reputation. He is also very gifted and hopefully reduction of school fees will be bestowed upon him at the end of the year.
Luckily our daughter at varsity is not costing us 1 cent. She received full sponsorship from the university.
Kids, our biggest investment.
