CBSE sent a document which presented a very complicated system of making the result. I thought over it. It was difficult. It was extremely cumbersome especially because of my lack of knowledge about computers and complicated mathematical calculations. But I didn't give up. I chose to face the challenge. 

I spent two sleepless nights and came up with a solution. I made a software based on Microsoft Excel to calculate the Class 10 Result for the students of session 2020-21 as per CBSE guidelines. The software made the job very easy for then the excel file did all the complicated calculations and that also correctly. My hard-work made the job easy for the other teachers. Although the making of the software was exhausting, yet in the end it felt good for through it I was able to help other teachers.  Now as I write this, the result is getting ready to be uploaded in the CBSE website. The final uploading again has to be done by me. 

After the process of Class 10 Result uploading is complete, I have to initiate the process of Class 12 Result uploading. The pandemic has definitely increased by workload exponentially but then at the same time it has provided an invaluable opportunity to learn new skills. 

I love writing and I find it soothing. So, however busy I may be, I always find some time to write. Since the last few months, I was working on a book on human relationships.  Finally, I completed the book and soon it will be available as a Kindle e-book at amazon.in. Kindle Direct Publishing is a great way to publish your writings as an e-book. The best part of the deal is that it doesn't cost you anything.  You can check out the books published by two students of the school in the following LINK .

The next thing that I did was to delete my GoDaddy website for it was costing me a lot of money and the service was not good. I did a little research and relaunched my new website through sites.google.com . The google service is completely free. I just had to buy a domain for about Rs 1000 for one year. The domain has to be renewed every year. My new domain address is eng-e-classroom.com. 

In the mean time there was a constant stream of work being assigned to me by the school administration. In one such assignment, I helped collate the examination related data for the Vidyalaya Plan 21-22. In case you are wondering as to what exactly is a Vidyalaya Plan, then let me tell you that every year a stock of performance and resources of the Vidyalaya is planned in order to make the school more productive. All the schools have to submit a plan of many pages to the concerned Regional Office.

I also helped organise the pending Practical Exam for Class 12. The schedule is fixed. Hopefully the online viva voice will be a hassle free experience. My past experience has taught me that it is easier to hold an offline exam than an online exam. Many students often come up with many excuses for not attending the exam. Lack of device access and network connectivity issue is a hot favourite among the students. May be this time they won't give any excuse and attend the viva voice without any issues.

In the doing of the daily household chores, it was my responsibility to clean and wash the utensils after my wife had cooked and after we had our food. I don't mind doing that. In a strange way it feels good to wash utensils under running water. The only trouble was with the 5 liter pressure cooker. It is heavy and becomes rather slippery after the application of the dishwashing gel. I don't like washing the pressure cooker and there is nothing soothing about it.

I loved taking out the dog for a walk. Since there was no school, therefore I got time to spend with my dog. My dog loves to go for a walk. The walk is not that important but the smells in the neighborhood definitely are. That is true for all dogs because they know their world through their nose. I also took the dog to the vet a few times for vaccination and for a skin infection to be treated. One day I even went to school to give two bags of dog food for the stray dog at school. Earlier I had made an arrangement with one of the school staff to provide the dog food daily during the vacation. 

The pandemic has ruined by visit to a cinema hall to watch a movie. So, I explored Netflix. After an extensive search, I found a series to my liking. I completed watching all the episodes (about 100) of that web series through Netflix. The title is 'The 100'. It is an intriguing post apocalyptic story of human survival on Earth, in space and in other planets. 

I am also planning to celebrate my wife's birthday. It will be a low key celebration for the pandemic protocol doesn't allow a social gathering. Then my paternal aunt died and I took part in the funeral rite and rituals. A birthday and a funeral. It is a strange combination but then that's how life is.

I also read a few story books and lots of online news articles especially at BBC website. I listened to a few podcasts of Hidden Brain and finished listening to a retelling of the stories of Mahabharata available online through Google Podcast. 

Well, there are many other day-to-day activities that I did to continue with life as best as I could during the pandemic. I couldn't travel to any place far for the curfew except an occasional drive to the market to get the essentials. I also talked a lot with my parents over the phone as I couldn't travel to my home because of the pandemic. I then clicked a lot of photos with my cellphone and shared those with my friends and family. 

I got my second dose of the COVID19 vaccine and also got my wife vaccinated (the first jab). 

A few more days are left to the vacation. Hopefully I will be able to do a few more constructive things and find contentment through creativity.

Now, tell me how was your vacation?"

This is an update to what I did during the Summer Vacation. I succeeded in fulfilling a long cherished dream. I made and launched a new website dedicated to the dog-human relationship.

A well rounded development of individual knowledge happens not only from textbooks and formal education but more from the learner’s personal experiences, individual inquisitive nature and social surroundings. Homework is an area of importance and to make it more relevant for the NCERT Books classes 6th, 7th and 8th, appropriate strategies and meaningful activities may be suggested to the schools that give more time to child to explore the environment to develop creative thinking.

These activities (like OTBA for class 9 & 11 ) would be so framed that they keep the child interested in subjects and therefore would also help in enhancing the learning power. Homework is one of the areas that need urgent attention. As the students of class VI, VII and VIII develop a certain learning style and want to know and find more and more. Efforts should be made to make homework more creative and interesting so that the students do not feel burdensome while doing the same and the ultimate purpose of providing homework is served.

A survey was conducted through questionnaire prepared by CBSE to collect feedback from parents, teachers, students and other educationists on “Alternatives to Homework at Upper Primary Level” for Class Sixth, Seventh and Eighth so that appropriate strategies and meaningful activities can be designed and suggested to schools. The questions were directed to know the ideal quantity and purpose of the homework, whether homework should be assigned in all the subjects, internet usage should be a part of the homework or not, how homework helps in teaching.

Keeping in view emerging issues, there is a need to think about giving quality homework emphasizing on acquiring applied learning skills. Few points can be kept in mind while designing a quality homework by teachers: 1, Provide students capacity building activities which are followed up and acknowledged like drawing, creative writing, making puzzles, stories, plays, online games, reading online books and craft.

2. Provide them assignment sheets which improve their reading & writing abilities. Homework must enable the student to practice a skill independently. 3. A possible discussion can be held with different children on what they would like to do at home to improve in which ever area they deem necessary. Homework must be designed in a way that maximizes the chances of its completion by the students.

4. Parents should be able to understand the child’s needs and schools suggestions on how to learn mathematics, logical reasoning, etc. by doing puzzles, writing letters, reading to elders from the newspapers, making household lists, recipe making and cooking. 5. Learners who have dyslexia or number difficulty should have practice assignments overcoming their problems.

The child in middle school have a keenness to discover more and prepare for the examination. Learning is about developing new faculties, which become useful as an adult. The years 12 to 15 are years when rules become important, and doing well, excelling are given importance both at home and in the class. As the child grows chronically his/her emotional maturity also grows and there are interests which are beyond just what lessons can give.

The homework assigned should: 1. enhance study habits and practice skills (which learners are able to perform independently) 2. reinforce necessary skills both scholastic and co-scholastic among the learners. 3. enable learners to become independent learners and thinkers and develop among them 21st century skills so that they can participate in Make in India in future. 4. lead to the improvement in the academic achievement of the learner.

5. expand on the existing knowledge of the learners and be a part of the already acquired competencies in the classroom. 6. not put unneeded pressure or stress by including new learning material or difficult material to be worked upon by learners themselves. 7. be CBSE Syllabus based and as per developmental needs of the learners. 8. not require specific resources or technology which is not accessible to all learners. 9. have clearly defined, purposeful, creative and engaging activities.

It is also advised that teachers can refer to Life Skills Manuals, Health Manuals and Environmental Education Manuals which contain age appropriate and interesting activities which can be taken up by the learners individually. These activities can be assigned to learners so as to enhance their life skills, values and make them health conscious.

Homework is needed, and necessary for a teacher to be able to follow up with each child.

How to Design Holiday Homework- 5 Tips

World-renowned clinical child psychologist and best-selling author, Dr. Ross Greene said that No kid should be getting three or four hours of homework a night. There's no breathing time, there's no family time, there are just extracurriculars and homework, and then, going to bed.

Holiday homework is intended to make students independent and enhance their skills and capabilities. Holiday homework helps to keep students on track and keep their brains ticking. While holiday homework ensures that the students don’t lose touch with what they have learned, it is important to give them enough space to enjoy the holidays. To ensure the same, you have got to analyze the feasibility of the work that you are assigning them and the gravity. Without further ado, let us take a look at five important things that teachers should keep in mind while assigning holiday homework to their students.

1. Understand Your Students

The first and most important thing that you have to take into consideration is your students. Understanding your students is the first step. The holiday homework should be on par with their capacity and ability. Of course, there’s no harm in making it challenging and pushing their limits a little but make sure to strike a balance. There’s no point in talking Latin when your students don’t understand the language. Assigning holiday homework that is way beyond their intellectual capacity or way below their capacity will not do them any good and that’s why you have got to understand them. There might be students who like challenges and to address this population of the classroom you can create an additional section on the assignment sheet and make it optional. Make sure not to discriminate against your students based on this optional section.

2. Define the Objectives

What do you want your students to accomplish through the holiday homework? For example, if the holiday homework is to write a poem, what are the learning objectives? That the students should understand the structure of the poetry, poetic figures, and poetic justice? The teacher must have a clear sense of the same. In addition to this, the teacher must be able to articulate the learning objectives to the students so that they can do complete justice to the holiday homework.

3. Make it Interesting

More often than not, students find holiday homework boring and drab. While designing the holiday work, teachers should put in the effort to make it challenging and interesting. If it is a simple coloring exercise, you can give tiny riddles about the colors and they have to figure out what the color is. Similarly, you can make all the work interesting so that the students would ill feel like doing it.

4. Keep Parent Involvement to a Minimum

Let’s face it. More than 90% of homework is done by parents. If you ask second graders to make the model of the Taj Mahal, of course, the parents would do it. This is why we mentioned in the first step that the teachers should understand the students and give them a mountain that they can climb. As mentioned, articulate the learning objectives and while interacting with the parents, let them know that you are expecting minimum involvement from them. If you are assigning holiday homework to high school students and students in higher grades, this step can be skipped.

5. Clarify the Criteria

On what basis are you going to grade the holiday homework? The criteria and the grading pattern must be transparent so that the students have a clear understanding of what to focus on. When you are designing the holiday homework, create a proper framework that you want to stick by and share with your students.

Holiday homework is an amazing way to let your students stand close to what they have learned. As mentioned, it is important to strike a balance and help your students have a good holiday while learning new skills and polishing the existing ones. It is up to the teacher to make homework dull or interesting and the tips that we have discussed are sure to make it the latter. Go ahead and create homework that the students would enjoy doing!
