For My Students and Their Parents

Day before, I attended the morning assembly and addressed the students and the staff. The issue was cleanliness. In fact, the previous day the school sweeper in charge came to me after the school hours to plead that a lot many students spoil the classrooms and corridors with foil papers and eatables. He questioned me whether their parents never teach them the value of cleanliness at home.

In my address to them I highlighted the issue and quoted the remark given by the sweeper. I personally felt ashamed on behalf of the students. I asked students whether the person was right or wrong. On the occasion, I took a promise from the students to behave like a mature and sensible person and keep up their self esteem. When we do something wrong, our parents get bad name. So we should not let down our parents. It is rightly said that cleanliness is next to Godliness. Next day, there was a tremendous improvement. The corridors and classrooms were clean having no sign of any foil paper or paper balls in the campus. The school sweeper came to me as an effective source of inspiration for my students.
