WhiteHat Jr.Ads -The Indian Parent Menatlity -Is it really required to code from class 6?




In the past few days, we have seen the ads of white hat jr on television and youtube. We see businessmen fighting among themselves to invest in an app made by a kid(according to the ad). The ad might seem funny to some and ridiculous to the rest of the people...but there is a serious question that comes out of this.

Do children really need coding right from class 6? Is coding really necessary for a kid to survive the competition? Well...In this blog, I would express my views on the topic.

Moreover, the recent National Educational Policy also mentions that coding would be a subject in the curriculum from class 6

Here is my take

"Indian parents are very ambitious.....in this sense I can go a step further and use the word they are "Status driven".They give more importance to the status of their families and their children.

Here comes the major problem with the dangerous trend of compulsory coding. When parents get influenced by seeing the ads and force their child to join the coding classes....this adds an extra burden for a child who is not interested in coding.

Primary school is the age where children need to explore various paths in life....of course, they can explore the coding path...but this should not be with a force.

My problem with the ads like white hat Jr is They directly affect the mentality of Indian parents forcing them to join their kids in their programme.

Many might argue that coding is the future, Yes I do agree.

With the advent of technologies like artificial intelligence and augmented reality coding might be the new mathematics. But there are many other fields that a child can explore other than coding.

Top coders are made only with interest not with force.

Therefore the ads of White Hat Jr are extremely ridiculous and they influence the mentality of an Indian parent.

Create the Interest in the child to code rather than forcing him to code "

What if you aren't allowed to work in Bangalore since you are not from Karnataka ?. This sounds alarming when heard. Because 40% of people working in silicon valley in Bangalore are Outsiders. This is the new idea of reservation for locals. Recently Haryana government passed an ordinance alloting 75 percent of jobs to people hailing Haryana.Previously Andhra Pradesh  was the first government to do this.In this article I would give you a comprehensive analysis on the feasibility and necessity of this types of Ordinance. These governments argue that this would provide the youth in their state with employment  opportunities. WHAT DOES THE PROPOSAL MEAN ? It implies that jobs that will be created in a state will be first offered to only people who belong to that State. It means that some percentage of seats will be reserved for the domiciles of the state and the companies should abide the law .There is different percentages of reservation proposed in different states...

THE DARK TRUTH THIS PANDEMIC HAS EXPOSED

Image
There are two India's according to me.One India is well out the sight of the other.This pandemic has widened the gap between two sections of the Indian society.I am sure you might be trying to guess what are the sections I am referring to.One is the privileged and the other the underprivileged. Let me demystify a little bit.Corona doesn't believe in Nepotism.Every Human being is equally prone to the attack of the virus.But the kind of treatment when a VIP gets affected is  no way in Comparision with that to a common man.For example when Amitabh Bachchan tested positive the concern that the BMC authorities showed  will not be seen when a person in a slum like Dharavi get infected.In this article I would bring to your optics the inequalities which were prevalent in the Indian society are exposed by corona.   HEALTH CARE FOR ALL ......WHEN? Politicians in India often give election speeches and promise for a complete revamp of health infrastructure.They also promise that...

NO BODY CAN STOP AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME -IDEOPLATFORM

Image
Idea is the only asset that a person has.An idea can change the world very drastically.If an idea that was born in a person can influence others in an extreme way it can turn into an ideology and thus turn into a way  of life.For example the religions which can  be  interpreted as way of life are culmination of practices which are formed from an idea that was propagated.every idea need not be accepted by everyone.now let us talk about ideas that can change the lifestyle of people or that can have a direct impact on peoples life.every such idea has a time where the world will be knowing its potential to change.especially when an idea needs to expand beyond its potential,it needs to have constant introspection and constant correction in itself. so as a teenager i feel that there should be a platform for an idea to make sure that it will be showcased to the world in a better way.
