| "Are you saying my child need not go
to school anymore?" |
Absolutely not.
 |
Schools enable students to interact with
each other, and this is an important element
in growing up, learning and becoming socially
responsible citizens. |
 |
Schools also furnish structure and can
provide a means for ensuring that students
devote time to necessary studies. |
 |
Under proper circumstances, schools can
foster peer pressure to aid learning. |
If schools were eliminated, the probable
alternative would be to have education take
place in homes of students. Although home
schooling is advantageous for some children,
conditions in the homes of others would impede
learning.
We want to supplement school learning,
not substitute it. We can ensure that
the learning of one individual will never
be hindered by the abilities or weaknesses
of others. Each student will move at his or
her own pace, unaffected by the rate of learning
of any other student.
And although, theoretically, any student
in a class can ask questions, in reality,
those who are confused are often embarrassed
and don't wish to reveal their ignorance.
Frequently, only the most intelligent students
dare to ask questions because they know that
if they don't understand, neither does anybody
else.

| "Are you trying to replace coaching
classes?" |

| "Do parents have to be involved all
the time?" |
|
Parents who are progressive prefer to be involved in
their child's education. It is common knowledge
that children whose parents participate are
generally more successful and happy. Although
it is debatable just how much involvement is
correct and appropriate, most schools insist
on some participation by parents. In fact, with
our products you know exactly what and when
your child is studying, and can share his learning
experience. To sum up, yes, we fully recommend
parents' involvement in their child's education. |

| "If the child sits in front of the computer
screen for two or three hours continuously,
won't it spoil his eyes?" |
There are actually two concerns here. One
is to shield the child from leakage of radiation
from computer screens. Even if modern computer
screens emanate very little radiation, you
may want to buy and attach a shield, especially
if you think that your child sits too close
to the monitor. Our intent is to deliver and
hence use 30 - 40 minutes of focussed lessons
per session.
The second concern is that your child may
strain his or her eyes from reading the computer
screen. Actually, modern colour monitors,
with properly adjusted brightness and contrast,
make reading less tiring than the old black
and white screens. In fact, tests have shown
that reading from computer monitors does not
seem to be any more dangerous to eyesight
than reading from books and watching television.

| "My child does not have any self-discipline.
His mind wanders. How can I trust him to study
on his own?" |
Students fritter away time while their
tutor stands before them in classrooms. They
become masters at tuning out boring lessons
from their minds and daydreaming about more
interesting topics. They sit silently and
passively, paying no attention and learning
nothing. The situation is no different in
a large coaching class. Since such students
cause no disturbance, most tutors don't bother.
On the contrary our pages are designed
to stimulate and excite. Pupils are not likely
to wander off into daydreams when they are
being kept busy and interested. The interactive
features will be a powerful force to keep
such students working and enjoying his lessons.

|
| "The basic question is, will it help
my child get better marks in the final exam?"
|
|
"He knows enough who knows how to learn." We believe
that when a student understands and practices
what he understands, he is well on his way
to topping any examination,as opposed to memorizing
empty words and reproducing it in an exam. |
