The Role of Boarding Schools in the Life of a Student
by Diana Narang GD Goenka World SchoolA boarding school offers a wide spectrum of
opportunities to a student. And more than a boarding school it is an adventure
for a student as it not necessarily just a learning platform but is a source of
values that help him/her to turn into a much better and a responsible
individual. Following are some points that will help you understand the role of
residential schools in the
life of a student:
·
Academic Opportunities
The teachers appointed at boarding schools
do not take teaching just as their job. They do not merely stick to the
curriculum in order to make the children understand certain concepts but
incorporate several interesting real-life scenarios which can make learning a
lot more fun and easy. Also, as the students spend most of the day with their
teachers at a boarding school, the teachers are able to recognize each
student’s strengths and weaknesses and thus work on them accordingly.
·
Independence
Another great virtue that a student learns
at a boarding school is independence. And this a value that the student learns
without even realizing as this develops in him/her with the daily chores like
setting his/her own bed, giving clothes to laundry, waking up early in the
morning and getting dressed up for school. All these things help him learn to
be an independent individual and even prioritize stuff which is itself an art.
·
Team Spirit
A boarding school houses hundreds of
students of a similar age bracket under one roof. And this plays a major role
in developing a sense of team spirit amongst the students. A lack of team
spirit is observed amongst children who are raised as a sole-child this is
because they are not much exposed to sharing their stuff as they do not have
any siblings. While this is most commonly seen in a child who has no siblings
but is also an extremely important value that each individual much imbibe. Also
being exposed to a range of people will help the student understand human
nature and different cultures in a much better way.
·
Discipline, Hygiene and Time Management
As children in the boarding school
premises are given complete attention by the faculty members, it is made sure
that each student maintains proper hygiene. Also the rules and regulations of a
boarding school and round-the-clock inspection develop a sense of discipline in
the initial years of a child which proves to be a great value for him/her in
the future. And as the houseparent plays an important role in the correct
upbringing of the students, it is made sure that they inculcate the habit of
punctuality and learns the value of time.
We hope the above points were able to help
you understand the role played by a boarding school in the life of a student
and thus will help you realize the kind of impact it has on the child’s
upbringing.
