Correct pa ..our schools adopted these type of grandparents day ,Halloween day etc but didn’t adopt few important things from these foreign schools.
In LKG itself , every week 5 kids will be selected ( on a rotation basis) , they will be taught to setup dining table ( they call lunch as dinner, till now don’t know why ) , clean the tables .. This continues every year ( after first class , dining table setup is not there ) ...
Principal will stand in the road during the school starting and ending time. There will be a lady ( lollipop lady ) who will help the students to cross the road. Principal will make sure that all kids thank the lollipop lady ( in initial days , later on it becomes a habit for the kids ) .. my daughter thanks me everyday when I give her the milk. Now it has become a habit for us to thank her if she helps us..
P.E is very important , if a student is not able to participate in swimming class , then a certificate has to be given by the GP .. They teach everything like gym, basketball,hurling,football,swimming from 2nd class and it is compulsory.
P.s ::: sorry for my long post
