Srinagar, Aug 2, : Parents of young children are up in arms against the early school timing, citing its detrimental effects on their kids’ physical and mental well-being. They claim that waking up early is ruining their children’s lives and dreams.
The current school timing, which requires children as young as five to wake up before dawn, has been criticized for being unrealistic and harmful. Parents argue that this early start affects their children’s sleep patterns, leading to fatigue, decreased concentration, and a lack of enthusiasm for learning.
“It’s like torturing our children,” said a concerned parent. “They can’t even get proper sleep, let alone enjoy their childhood.”
Experts agree, stating that early school timing can have long-term consequences on children’s health, academic performance, and overall development.
