Children

Children are like clay. Whatever shape you make out of them, they maintain that shape till the end. All children are born alike. So there must be something that happens somewhere down the years that makes high-achievers out of some, violent, confused and disoriented terrorists out of others. It is a very logical thing to attribute the reason for this to the way children are brought up, what they are exposed to, who acts as the child's example, who she chooses to emulate. It is the child that is the most precious resource that we have here on Earth. It is the child that has to be taught right, encouraged and helped to grow intellectually so that it can carry our future well. It is so obvious. But we still continue to ill-treat and ignore children mainly because they are dependent, vulnerable and easily pushed around.
Children should be nourished and cared for. There are three places where a child learns and grows - school, home and at play. While it is difficult to control what the child may learn at play among other children, it is surely possible to educate parents about how they should treat their children. It is an absolute necessity to regulate the way a child is treated and taught in schools.
