No school should maintain sluggishness

Any school worthy of the name should relentlessly strive to get better than yesterday. No school should maintain a state of inertia.

There should be continuing movement towards achieving greater success. What should be borne in mind is that a school is synonymous with hope and that its purpose is to discharge more and improved teaching and learning experiences. Failing students, if it has to happen, should be a rare and accidental occurrence rather than a permanent characteristic feature of any school.

By their own efforts, where possible, some brave parents try to avoid like plague schools associated with the stigma of failing students. When opportunities exist where it is highly possible for their children to succeed, some very parents are devising means and ways of diverting their children away from schools with a dubious distinction of under serving students. This is the reason why some schools are overpopulated while others are under populated. On account of limited opportunities in thriving schools, not all parents are successful in their endeavour to save their children from falling into the hands of schools where they are most likely to face some uncertain future. This is the more reason why all schools should strive to do better.
