A ruckus was witnessed at BCM School, Shastri Nagar, today as the school management asked students of primary classes to attend the school physically from today onwards.

A huge rush of students and parents was witnessed in the school during which all Covid norms were thrown to the winds during school hours.

Parents of a student said the school had made it mandatory for primary students to attend physical classes. Not only that, they had stopped the online classes in an abrupt manner.

The students were jostling with each other to reach their classes. The parents looked panicky and many of them condemned the school management for the “mismanagement” as the students looked confused.

Another parent said: ”They have opened physical classes from Class II to V. There should not be any pressure to attend the classes. Moreover, they could have asked students to come to school turn wise or day wise. Look at the rush, how can we feel safe for our kids?”.

Principal Paramjit Kaur, however, said students came to school after over 18 months and the school authorities were helpless as equal number of parents turned up at the school to ensure safety of the children.

“We had to manage both parents and students. But from Monday onwards, we will call students of only a few classes and proper social distancing will be maintained among students. As far as online classes are concerned, these will continue,” the principal said.

“We had to manage both parents and students on Friday. But from Monday onwards, we will call students of only a few classes and proper social distancing will be maintained among students. As far as online classes are concerned, these will continue,” Principal Paramjit Kaur said.
