Parents Speak
“We have no words to thank you all for taking such good care of our kids and keeping them in high spirits while I was recovering from covid.. Not having seen me for 20 days meant a lot to both emotionally and though we as a family tried to keep them in good spirits, efforts put in by all of you hold immense value for us and the kids. Something we will always remember.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Hoping to see healthier times soon.
Stay well and healthy.
Sending good wishes to all of you.”

“Thank you all working selflessly behind the scenes for the wonderful planning & execution of the classes. A phenomenal & commendable job indeed! Truly appreciate.
Would like to share here a small appreciation piece for all of you. Do share with everybody at Shikshantar including the Sports didis & bhaiyya's who have shared such wonderful exercises (some of which we parents are also doing!)
With the whole COVID-19 situation, a lot of teachers are facing a very unique challenge.
No, it's not the saree challenge, nor its the motherhood challenge.
The challenge demanded that they go through digital transformation overnight.
Teachers said: Challenge accepted
(They hid their tech-fears behind a simple smile because children’s learning is at stake)
My appreciation grew leaps and bounds
The challenge demanded that they have to open their house for public viewing
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(They suppressed their inhibitions, foregone their privacy because children’s learning is at stake)
My appreciation grew even stronger
The challenge demanded that they have to make do with limited or no resources.
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(They started working overtime to plan for teaching without any resources because children’s learning is at stake)
My heart is filled with appreciation, ready to burst.
The challenge demanded that they may not be paid their salaries.
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(They started worrying deep in their heart about their own families. But, they were undeterred because children’s learning is at stake)
The challenge demanded that they may need to teach while 30-odd parents are watching over their shoulder judging them for their every little move including but not limited to their voice modulation, pronunciation, grammar, knowledge, love & warmth.
Teachers said: Challenge accepted.
(It didn’t matter because the children’s learning is at stake)
I am speechless!
My appreciation and respect for these relentless fighters can’t be expressed in words. I want to salute all the gurus across the world who continued to take on the challenges that were piled upon them because children’s learning is at stake and they care!
Thank you all at Shikshantar for 'you care'.”
