No mingling !!

The modern educators are more concentrating in isolating the genders in college. In fact they use this as a powerful tool as a decoy. Parents especially those staying abroad are easily lured by this criteria, when selecting the colleges where their wards have to start their next phase of life.

Is this a good practice? The management of a few colleges mostly in Chennai assumes that by separating the opposite sexes they can get rid of rarely encountered problems like eve teasing and harassments. So they stop students interacting with their opposite sexes even though they all study in the same class. In some worst cases the management conducts separate classes for men and women. On the contrary they actually land in a lot of problems by doing this. Lest we miss between the lines that the students are loosing their communication skills and tend to become more introverts and this instigates them to develop amoral thoughts in their mind. The management does not understand that all their rules and regulations are mere damp squibs, once the students are out of college for the day and is also not aware of the fact that they are producing the largest number of classmate couple when compared to other colleges where such practices do not take place.

Some colleges have come to an extent of tying ropes in the buses separating men and women sections, separate class rooms, different timings and what not? All these are measures to separate them. Educators should stop this practice and let the students be their own. For a student abroad or in cities like Bombay and Delhi this will be the most idiotic rule a college can impose. This in no means will help develop a better society and will only result in cultivating evil thoughts in their sterling characters. When such things are practiced students have an obvious chance of developing either a greater interest or an aversion and hatred with the opposite sex. This should change.
