Dear Parents

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” -Carl Sagan

I came across this amazing quote and realized how appropriate it is for all of us. There is no such point in the life of a person when he can sit back and say. “There is nothing more to learn in life, I can sit back with the thought that I know it all.”

Education is not just about the subjects being taught in school. Becoming educated is not limited to going to school and then in college, collecting certificates and feeling proud. It is a lifelong exercise that can be unbelievably exciting if only we wish to jump onto the train of experience and take a trip to every reachable place on the earth. Now we know that this cannot be done really, so how can we manage it, first in school and then as we go on through the journey of life?

First, we all have to be on the same platform: students, teachers and parents have to understand that education is not restricted to lessons taught in the classroom from text books. Parents and teachers must motivate children to ask as many questions as they can. For it is in desire to gain knowledge that will result in actually getting the knowledge.

The thirst for knowledge is not limited to the child. It is also important for parents and teachers to keep adding to their own knowledge bank.

Besides all of the above, that add to children becoming truly educated, schools and teachers must ensure that children have a society of great experiences. Surprisingly, these experiences develop a child’s creativity and imagination and cause something that's often thought to be more important than knowledge. Creativity and imagination make children grow up to be productive adults who then become citizens of the world ready to make their own great contribution to humanity.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. “ - Albert Einstein

My message to the Principal, Staff, Students and esteemed Parents of Mother’s Pride School, is to dedicate these years to a correct understanding of what education really means and let us all benefit from this understanding.

With Utmost Positivity
