The parents of today do not bother to find out the ways and means of bringing up their children and keeping them under control. They think that their responsibility is over after admitting them in a primary school or a village school. Home is the first school for children. It is in this school that children should learn to respect their parents; to observe Truth, Righteousness, Peace and Non-violence; how to behave in the school; how to respect the teachers; and how to behave with their fellow students. They must also know how to abide by the rules and regulations of the school and how to observe discipline.

It is by learning these things that the students turn into ideal students.

Wake up from bed,

When the cock crows in the morn;

Brush and bathe,

Eat properly

And moderately,

Go to school

And study diligently.

Earn a good name that

You are an obedient student.

Don’t move

When weather is damp.

And never go near ditches.

Run and play

Have fun and frolic,

If you abide by

All the principles mentioned above

You will enjoy both health and wealth.

But nobody is imparting such a teaching to the children. (SSB 2002, pp. 38-39)
