Smart Phones can Make Children Unsmarts
by Paras world School School in GurgaonI was never given a smart phone or for a matter of
fact any phone not even a basic phone when I was in school. I got my first
phone when I completed my twelfth standard. This never was a great feeling then
but now when I look back into my past and those golden days of school life, I
am fortunate to not have been given phone then. I would not be writing this
piece today commemorating my school days and disgracing the present age in
which I see the kids growing with their head tilted downwards.
The use of Smart Phones these days is a necessity
undoubtedly but is it helping the kids? It is not. It is destroying the growth
of a healthy mind by limiting the children to only virtual world. Virtual
technology is very important as long as it is developing a mind to the expanse
of brain development, if not it is doing no good. The get together these days
is pretty boring as there is no room for fun chat or play time. Everyone is
busy with their gadgets either playing or chatting online. I condemn this way
of socializing; this is no less than anti-socializing. A parent is seen
preventing a child from going out in the sun and play but are happy to bribe
the child a smart phone if he or she does well in exam. Apart from parents and
guardians, even schools and institutions providing primary and secondary
education should influence students in taking up games and sports as a
mandatory physical activity as a healthy body opens the doors of a potentially
healthy mind. The Paras World School has been a follower of this which I have
observed from a student studying there and would like to convey a note of
thanks to this contribution.
Physical
activity versus smart phone
An ideal mind is better than an ideal body. An ideal
body leads to many illnesses; on the other hand an ideal mind is temporary.
Once the body is in action, mind starts working automatically with no effort
from external sources.
Outdoor games and sports are the best ways to
maintain a healthy lifestyle and this should be understood by the parents and
teachers. Academics with Study amalgamate magically to give the best result. Paras
World School ensures that physical education is given equal importance with
academics.
How
sad!
It is really a sad picture of where the kids are heading to at present. Well, one word of comfort is that Paras world School is incorporating academics and sports and games at equal balance to ensure the result is outstanding.
Students are born with a mind elastic and can be
stretched at any direction. It can be molded in any form, why not mold the
right way then?
How sad!
It is really sad to see the students grow with the
use of smart phones that is handicapping their growth in terms of height and
weight. Not just mental fitness, physical fitness is degrading.
