STUDENTS WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS OF PARENTS [SWAP], CBE
Is to conduct
CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL ON 3.3.12 AT GANDHIPURAM
In Memory of two souls who lost their lives to remind us of one truth!
Teacher Uma Maheswari Student Anooj
The murder of Teacher Smt. Uma Maheswari in the class room at Chennai, by a student and the suicide of Master Anooj in the school campus at Udumalpet, alleging torture by his Master, have shocked us all. Incidents of violence in the school premises are on the rise. Various reasons have been given for this sorry state of affairs. Schools which otherwise claim the success of children, put the blame on ‘bad Parenting’ when something like this takes place. Otherwise, the over worked teachers could easily be targeted. One truth underlined by both the above tragedies is that non-availability of proper interaction between the Parents and Teachers in the Schools in the form of proper, democratic, PTA, is taking its toll on both the Teachers and the Students. Eventually the society pays the price. Parents will any way suffer.
In memory of the slain teacher and the student who succumbed,
and to highlight the growing disturbances in School campuses, we are to conduct a
Candle light vigil
on 3.3.2012 (Saturday) at 6 p.m
before Hotel Tamil Nadu, Gandhipuram.
KINDLY ATTEND WITH FAMILY
[Every one attending the programme are requested to bring along a candle stick and a match box and also a small cardboard cut to be inserted into the candlestick so that the melting wax will not harm the hand.]
