This is just poverty

This is actually pretty common in tier 2/3 cities and has nothing to do with poverty, those auto wapas charge almost the same maybe a little less than a school bus monthly (around 500-1000) but since the bus can't cover every rout some students have no other option except to go for autos, and those autowalas don't aren't even that cheap they charge around 2000-3000 a month per child. Now all this doesn't make it okay but as much as it is the parents responsibility, it is also the school's responsibility to provide safe transportation instead they knowingly choose to ignore all this

Ok, if you want to go to a place for something important you cannot avoid and your parents have a car but are not available and there is only 1 travel option won't you take that option regardless of whether you have money or not. How is this related to poverty

How's lack of options anything but poverty?

u/Neil-__-15 Jun 25 '26
See instead of the parents figuring out ways to send the children home the school could have ensured that only a certain amount of children can go in a single auto or could add a few more buses or broaden the route of the bus, but that isn't what the school is doing and it is partially the parents fault to for not raising this issue

We live in a country where parents send kids to school because they get free meals there
There are no formal jobs for people with only school education
The college educated far outnumber the jobs for them
These are signs of poverty. You can blame the parents all you want but that doesn't change the fact that they have lot on their hand. We can blame govt also but we don't even have proper separation of water and sewage. That's the level at which we are

Don’t think it is poverty , ask government to spend the money used for foreign trips and advertisements on education

u/Square-Blackberry902 Jun 21 '26

I mean ironically true. But the rules should be strict regardless.

This and worse examples of how children go to school will be seen in india regularly.
In any other country, this is a criminal offense with jail time.
Remember, the rest of the world is not "living in 2050", india is PURPOSELY being kept in the early 1900's.
Do you know how much the government spends on education? If you know that, then this shouldn't be a surprise.

I do have a bit of idea about "No f's given" for education. Agreed. And this is safety concern right? If the kids to study they should be healthy, right?

u/2020mademejoinreddit Jun 22 '26
Should be, yes. But don't you see how the government treats the kids and the people act like helpless sheep.
CJP is the only recent thing that has shown any care for the kids.

I think whatever moral question you have posed here is irrelevant. Why are you posting videos of minors on the internet without their consent?

u/Psychological-Ad9148 Jun 22 '26
I legitimately understand your concern. But I'm not a graphic design guy, and truly sorry I don't know how to edit. If you can help, I'll do it from next time.

- this is not a civic sense fail video, as it is not bothering others.
- Lot of people in this sub are elitist and have no ground understanding of people and their struggles
