Barasat Indira Gandhi Memorial High School
Barasat Indira Gandhi Memorial High School is an English Medium Co-Educational School at Jessore Road, Barasat. It was founded by Shri Shyam Deo Rai[1] and was inaugurated in late 25 December 1989 at 12.00.00 AM (Indian Standard Time). The current principal of the school is Mrs Sunanda Jaiswal and the vice principal is Mrinal Kanti Mikup .[2] It is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
Location
[edit]The school is located on the busy Jessore Road. It has an area of about 1.08 acre.[3]
Infrastructure
[edit]On the outside, there are three buildings. The left building is of Primary classes (UN to Class 5) and the right one is of Secondary Classes (Classes 6 to 12). Another building has been recently built, the new building. The school has almost all the facilities like Library, Chemistry Lab, Physics Lab, Biology Lab, Computer Lab, Gym Room, Indoor Games Room.[4] The classes are equipped with HCL Technologies' Smart Class Kit. Though the Primary building has comparatively many facilities, the Secondary building has nil. The teachers discourage girl students from getting any physical activity. The teachers discriminate the students based on gender[5]
Gender Issue
[edit]This school is co-ed school only by name. The girl students are made to sit in different rows of benches from boys, called "girls' row". If a boy sits on 'girls row', it is somehow found to be hilarious in this school. The teachers makes naughty boys to sit on 'girls row' as a punishment. The P.E. teacher teaches boys treating them like they are elite, and leaves girls without a ball to kick or throw, treating them like noobs.[6] If a boy comes with long hair, the teacher ties his hair and says "He's so cute!" and laughs at him, along with the whole class. Some students have absorbed this discrimination and laughs at boys who just talks with girls, saying "ishshhhh, meyeder sathe kotha bolchis!"[7] ("ewwww, you are talking with girls!"). When the writer once gave the syllabus paper to the teacher, because no one else was giving, the teacher said "This is the difference between how a girl keeps the syllabus and a boy keeps the syllabus", just because it was crumpled a bit. These all are illogical,[8] the teachers aren't supposed to can support it. Sometimes the teachers make girls play ludo, badminton, kho-kho,etc. and boys play chess, football, cricket,etc.

School campus
[edit]The outer area covered by the school is much little. There is a very small playground which only the primary students—of classes UN to 5—has access to. The secondary students have access only to a concrete ground-which is used as a parking area for school buses most of the time
Education Quality
[edit]Math
[edit]The editor is aware that many people fear mathematics, but that not necessarily be it. The editor is also aware that many people think that math is just the blindly following of an algorithm very fast (like addition, multiplication, etc.). This is not True. Though the blindly following of an algorithm is occasionally useful, it ain't math. Math is an art, which, sadly, isn't taught properly around here. In the Primary section, students learn something about "numbers" that has to do something about "counting". Then they have to copy some figures written on the board, like "22+22=44", "12345+11111=23456", and much more for "completing the syllabus", as they say. No math taught, just taught how the numbers look and taught the students to copy some apparently random numbers written on the board. The editors feel pitiful to all those who will perhaps never like math, because has seen more than the handicapped, contrived results that are taught in school. The editor hopes that one day all schools will have good math teachers, who will teach the art more and contrived things less.
