Indore: After a vacation of nearly one and a half months, the parents, teachers, and students buckled down for the new academic session (2018-19) since most of the schools across the city reopened on Monday.While students were excited to be back to school in a new class and meet their friends, parents too had to make sure that their ward reaches their school on time.Homemaker Ashwini Thakur, who had come to pick her daughter from St Arnold’s HS School said, “It’s her first day at school since she is in Class KG1. We were skeptical about her behaviour so we had come to drop her and pick her up before time.”Thakur was happy to know that her daughter didn’t cry and made friends on the first day itself.With several parents coming to pick and drop their kids mostly before time, the roads were much occupied causing jam outside the schools for some time. Nitu Maheshwari, who had come to pick her ward jokingly said, “Finally we got a relief from these little monsters.”While tiny tots were witnessed shedding tears as it was their first day, the ones in higher standard were excited to be back to school.“I looked forward for nothing today, I like uncertainties and my day went super good,” said Abhyansh Patil, a Class X student of Emerald Heights, when asked how his day went.Class XII students were both excited and nostalgic about the fact that this will be the end of their school life.“The first day of school in a new class is precious, every moment about it is beautiful. You make mistakes, but at the same time you learn. Compete but help others too. The journey from the first to the last day of school is very special,” said 17-year-old Manvi Raheja, a student of NDPS.
