This is a trend, in democratic countries around the world, where politicians deliberately do not consult with voters, on implementing new ideas and policies.

Trips for students to the seaside can be every educational. Students do not always have to be escorted to the inside of a concrete building to gape in awe at specimens and artifacts found in nature.

Great write up! Sad to say the kids suffer due to the crazy ideas of people in power. Surely children should not be deprived of their summer holidays.
Your essays are the only way I keep up with what’s happening back home. Thanks a tonne!
Most welcome.
The way things presently are, holding consultations is taken as a sign of weakness.
