Question

What is the reason for scribbling in the wall or class furniture

Answer 1

There can be the following reasons:

1. Just whiling away the time when the studies are not going on.

2. Lack of awareness concerning maintenance of public property.

3. Anger against the school or any teacher.

4. Lack of training and discipline.

You can either use the following discussion for your task 3 or develop your own taking ideas from it:

Student A: Hey this school property disfiguring is another problem in our country.

Student B: I agree with you! Why is it that all the problems of indiscipline are in our country only?

Student A: I think it is because of the poor implementation of rules and regulations. Had there been stricter implementation of rules and regulations, these problems would not exist.

Student B: Almost all the desks, walls, tables, notice boards have been disfigured by students! Everyone says he did not do it! if the same disfigurement is done to their personal things, they make such a hue and cry!

Student A: Why does this happen in our country?

Student B: I think the children are not taught how to respect property in our culture. The entire focus is on hollow things. At schools children are busy learning their subjects; and at home watching TV and with mobiles!

Student A: But something needs to be done! The entire nation is swept over by Swach Bharat Abhiyan. Let’s include anti-property disfigurement drive in this campaign. How can we become Swach when the building walls and furniture of the institutes are disfigured so badly?

Student B: True. I think we should start this drive from our class. We must have a meeting with our class teacher and the Principal.

Student A: A property cleanliness and maintenance committee including some smart and responsible students must be made in each class to ensure no disfigurement of walls and furniture take place. New strict rules and regulations must be informed to the students in the class.

Student B: Each student that uses the desk must be responsible for the cleanliness of it. Similarly, walls should be divided into sections, and each section’s cleanliness responsibility should be given to the students sitting near the wall. If any furniture or wall is disfigured, the responsible students should be held accountable.

Student A: That’s a good idea. Let’s go to our class teacher and have a word with her.

Answer 2

Children who scribble on the wall or destroy furniture are either destructive by nature due to poor upbringing or come from homes where love and care is absent. Rather than punish these children, parents and teachers must make a joint endeavour and counsel them. More love and affection, without being indulgent to their whims and fancies, should be showered on such destructive children; they must also be taught to be creative, which would help them replace their destructive trait with a positive quality. Besides these steps, such children should be encouraged to take part in sports and games, as physical activities would help them unleash their energy on the playing field and in a positive way.
