Girls Worshipped as Durga but Rejected as Children

Education and World

An adoring memory of the Dasara festival is that a north Indian family invited me along with my sisters Kanya Puja when I was a young girl. We were served with sumptuous lunch and given a Dakshina of a rupee or two. I still remember the way I flinched and dragged my feet back when the lady of the house touched my feet. At the age of ten, I was amused by this tradition, which made me feel important. Now, I ponder the logic behind the Pooja where people worship Durga in the form of girls and wonder!

Discovering Grammar

Montessori View

Generally, people think Grammar is difficult. This is because grammar is seen as a separate entity that should be learnt in the classroom and should be forgotten after writing exams. We often hear students and even adults saying grammar was “the toughest” in school. Many even feel that grammar is difficult and of no use for the students, and has to be removed from the school curriculum, or make as simple as possible. All this is because of the way and time grammar has been taught.

Difference Between Montessori and Traditional Schools

Let's talk Montessori, Montessori View

traditional schools. To answer this question in simple terms – in Montessori schools, children learn through play[1]. The children in Montessori schools are free to move around the classroom and choose the activities they want to play with. In contrast, the children in traditional classrooms, sit in one place and copy from the blackboard. Even the best traditional preschools have a limited amount of games or play periods.
