Why Play?
By Anjum Jaffer,
Head of Curriculum and Education
In my field of work I often come across individuals who think playing, for a child, is a waste of time. On many occasions we have heard, ‘Please do not let my child waste his time playing, he should only be working in school.’
‘Work’ often means deskwork, where the student sits at his place and reads, writes or completes worksheets after worksheets. While deskwork is important for a student, I feel, it is necessary to clear a few misconceptions about ‘play’. I am not trying to promote unsupervised, meaningless or violent play but the advantages of organised and planned play activities. |
