Schools in Ramadan
Ramadan is the holy month for the Muslims all over the world and it has lots of other significance too. In this month the Muslims usually live a regular and pious life than that of others. But a real worry arises during this period, and that is the schedule of children's school. They tend to be open even two or three days before Eid, which causes enormous problem to the respective parents. Parents especially the mothers, have to prepare thesehriand get up again to drop their children in the school in time. I do respect the feelings of the school authority but they do have to care about the religious importance of the month as well.
My daughter is very young and she wants to fast but thinking about her school, I discourage her (which I should not be doing). I would like to make a request to the respected school authorities that it would be very convenient if they remain closed from the second week of the holy month of Ramadan, which might give the parents a little bit of respite.
