School or Board? What comes first..

   When you are a young parent and dream about giving good education to your child, you always end up thinking about choosing different boards like CBSE, ICSE, or for instance Cambridge or IGCSE. But little do we think about the schools, their culture and in what environment is the child going to spend the major part of their time away from home.
   According to me, selecting a good board is important, but not to the extent that you end up selecting a school which has all the pomp and show to exhibit infront of your relatives and friends but which lacks to inculcate good behaviour, culture and values into the child.
   As a private tutor, who is teaching children of different classes, schools and boards, I don't find much difference in the lessons or the syllabus. I do find the difference in the teaching methodologies of different schools. So, it becomes our utmost concern to check the culture of the schools and their environment.
   My message through this post to all the parents is that please choose the future of your kids very carefully. At the end of the day, it is the value and culture what they carry from school that is going to get them success in all walks of life. So, choose the first step of your precious gems well and give them a beautiful journey of childhood to cherish forever.
