Municipal schools in Mumbai....Ive a lot to say about them....but will be brief...
yesterday I had been to one of them for some work......
the plight of the kids and teachers is pathetic.....
no safe drinking water, dirty smelly toilets...( i almost vomited)
teachers who dont knw their subjects....
teachers are mere clerks, they are expected to take admissions, do the paper work, file documents,and also manage 4 classes!
the rains have made the water room into a stagnant mess.....
the students are mostly first generation school goers....
i saw that many students were suffering from scabies...
during break time...the students sit in the corridors and eat their lunch...in their haste to eat, they spill their food and make a mess of the place...
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
WHY DONT WE GET ANGRY ANYMORE?
WHY DONT WE PROTEST?
HAVE BECOME SO INSENSITIVE?
This blog has been witness to my journey, I`ve cried, I`ve laughed, but, mostly I`ve LIVED through this blog.

de-sensitized, is more like it. this city has de-sensitized us. funding is one hurdle that many municipal / government organizations face, and overcome -but deep dirty pockets benefit while the public doesn't. you should see andheri court! revenue? plenty. but the stench of urine strongly overshadows the occasional whiff of justice!
This happens becoz the people who send thier children to these schools are already living the lifestyle they live in their locality.being experince this kind of thing i can say tht yes i do feel sad for sum students residing there as becoz they deserve a lot more than jst dirty toilets and idiotic.thts the reason i always think tht i would not like to go abroad and complain abt it.i would rather bring abt changes in my small way.
