CBSE affiliated schools to become 'Anger-Free Zones'

CBSE has asked all of its affiliated schools to become ‘anger-free zones’ where everyone - parents, teachers, administration staff etc. will try to control their anger and will set an example for children and teach them how important it is to free from anger.The board says that this will make the students mentally active and emotionally healthy. They will be able to go home charged and happy and will be happy to return the next day to the school.The CBSE has also issued an advisory to the school and said that this initiative is a part of its "joyful education and holistic fitness" thrust.The recommendations mentioned in the advisory include not looking at the cell-phone all the time and breathing exercises by all. The board has also asked the students to record their experience and announce their initiative on social media to become an anger-free zone using the hashtag, "cbsenoanger". "In the anger-free zone, everyone will try to manage his or her anger, whether it is the school educators, parents, school personnel or other stakeholders. The best way to teach children the value of 'freedom from anger' is by setting examples ourselves," CBSE Secretary Anurag Tripathi said in a communication sent to schools. "Making our schools anger-free zones will help our students in developing effective skills and in eradicating emotions like fear, disrespect, humiliation and hurt, which are the by-products of anger," Mr. Tripathi said.The board has also asked the schools to place board messages on strategic locations in their campus -- “This is an Anger-Free Zone”."Children are the harbingers of change. What they learn in the school, they will teach that to their parents. Imagine children going home and telling their parents 'you are not allowed to be angry'."Therefore, as a part of this initiative, schools must also take up exercises with children to help them overcome their anger issues and also empower them with tools so that they can help others overcome their anger issues," Mr. Tripathi added.
