Its quite some time I blogged., mostly because of priority
changes, when there is minimum time. As years go by, the differences between
Abhi and any other kid of his age, seems to be increasing. Though the society
awareness is increasing, Our Indian society has to change a lot still. It is always a concern in parents mind about their
child’s future.
Now Abhi is in 9th grade and which
means lot of studying and writing in Indian education system!. He writes very slow, so he needs my help in
completing his notes/homework. I am very
sure that he has a knowledge to get a score of 70-75%, but manages to get only
55-60. This I feel due to his writing difficulties. When he tries to complete
an answer, he omits punctuations, sometimes grammar in the sentences.
All these have
made me to look for the additional facilities and concessions (like scribe)
given by the government for these children. I feel
I have to start the process by this mid-year so that for the 10th
examination we will be ready. Now I have very little info on the process itself.
Sometimes I have even thought whether I did it right to put Abhi in a normal school.? Am I giving too much pressure on him? Was there any alternative to this education which I didnt look into or aware of?
