I see some post blaming Sayi for home schooling Savi. I don't know how ITV perceives it but it is perfectly normal.

I have seen parents homeschool kids and they have entered prestigious institutions. It is entirely parents choice.

Social skills and peer interaction is what a child may miss out on. Savi seems to be a bright child adapts quickly and is intuitively picking up things socially.

I have headed a prestigious CBSE school for 25 years and can tell you I have not seen anything wrong in Homeschooling . Especially with the social interaction we saw Savi having in Kankavli. She is not molly coddled like Vinu. I would think he is in a worse off social context.

Homeschooling.. I’ve heard of it from my cousins living abroad. I’ve never heard of it in India. 😕


IMO, homeschooling is possible if one of the parents or grandparents are willing to teach the child at home irrespective of the child’ age. In case of teenagers, this route can be preferred provided the learner studies at home and doesn’t waste time watching tv or mobile or computer.


I prefer to send my 6 yo son to school as he’ll get to mingle with other kids, teachers will discipline all kids , he’ll learn to respect elders, gain education, etc. My in-laws and my parents are old and they barely manage to baby sit him on holidays or when he comes home from school at 5 pm as I’m a working mother working in IT Company.

Yes many filmstars also do that in India.


And even Roger Federer didn't that as he was always travelling with family.

Definitely home-schooling is a perfectly workable choice and has its many advantages, as also the usual institutionalized schooling systems have so many problems these days.

Since I had raised this topic in my thread.. let me answer it .. no it is not an offence .. however school is not meant just for studies that is a typical Indian mindset .. these days children look forward to going to school to interact with their peers ..



Since you have worked in a school .. you must have seen children have extra curricular and co curricular activities .. also the best part of the day is having lunch break and snack break where children everyday and learn to play games on their own .. they also have special days every month where they celebrate festivals or even class birthdays


Savi is a very sharp kid .. but she does seem lonely .. and is spending her life vicariously through vinu .. his school race is an important part of her dream .. yes she wants to be a police officer .. abd she spends her day waiting for her dad and writing in trees .. knowing how lonely she is .. one if the easiest ways would have been putting the child in school .. let her get busy with home work , school projects abd school drama ..



There are many kids who have issues and are unable to cope up to school work .. special needs children .. I have interacted with even those kids who say they miss going to school during lockdown .


Creatives will show that they want to ..l just hope Savi starts attending school very soon

Exactly that was what I quoted a post in the morning about the missed opportunity wrt my child. And I truly regret now .

I think according to my knowledge if a parent can opt for home schooling it doesn't mean they are cut off from the world. Now I stay in an apartment and there are many blocks and parks around , There is a sporting complex where cricket, tennis, basketball, karate ,skating ,swimming and many more are taught, also there is a dance school which provides to teach any forms which we opt for and same for music too .And the bonus is my child is infront of me secured and safe. The only thing that is stopping me now from home schooling is my child is in the high school.

Only requirement of home schooling is availability and presence of family members at all times because children should not be left alone .

Does Savi have access to all these facilities.. I did not see .the topic I had raised was for Savi not a generic Merits of homeschool vs school .. . I see her roaming around writing in trees in kankauli and in Nagpur waiting for vinu to come for treatment.. it is all right if she’s shown a kid still in kindergarten.. but vinu is in grade 4 so Savi should be in grade 3 .., anyways it is a moot topic .. to each his own .. I Cannot make more post than this .. as I only get 10 post in a day ..

which is the safest place in the world for a kid ? In today's times even home is not as per crime that are out in the open now. But overall the house is .And regarding interactions parents opting for home schooling are not cutting out the child from the world or confine them to stay indoors 24/7. It means grow like a free bird with out any pressure or tension but provide the school education at home that's it and benefit of seeing your child learn ,grow and do things 24/7. You know my mother was from a village and I loved to be there in my holidays entirely 2 and half months of the year and felt like a free bird. My grandparents never tied me down, I would roam in the fields ,in the garden around my gp's house ,visit temple which was on the hill, go to the canal which flowed some 100 metres distance.The people who spent their small bit of life would understand the pleasure of staying there. The savi being shown here ,for fiction sake they have showed her alone. Is the entire kankavli had only savi as a child or only the children who attended the camp were. A child sees and grows with the environment she is in and the absence of a father was prominent.it is stupidity of the makers that they showed savi like that. If a father is not there then he is not there that's all for the kids, they will only see the family through their mother. but overall questioning starts when they grow .Now when do the kids grow and question ?you answer me.

Regarding savi Homeschooling it was good in kankavli because Sai practiced or had a clinic at home only , according to her nagpur is temporary because she wants to shift after vinu's recovery so home schooling continued but when she shifts or takes up a job , definitely she has to put savi in school . But till date homeschooling was right.

And savi wanting to be a police officer, yes she wants to and therefore she used to go to training ground often and Sai also wants her to be what she wants to.Do the people living in a village or people who passout the boards after homeschooling in childhood are not eligible of being police officers when a useless and criminal man like Virat is hailed as best officer and being promoted from ACP to DCP( and for what protecting his criminal family and himself from law and punishment).Only one thing that I like about vankar is he kept the core character and essence of Sai intact and this saves the show . But as a writer he lacks in providing justice to the character and this will ruin the show.

Kids having issues or wanting to go to school as you mentioned only tells how neglected or alone or abandoned they feel at home . Parents should see to it and do you think they would want home schooling for their children. Of course ,no. Right.

In many countries children start school late. Research has shown that for early years a very interactive home environment provides the most conducive learning opportunity. What one sees is Savi gets to celebrate festivals with the community. A child passes through several stages in play. The child starts with solitary play. Parallel to play, cooperative play. For these to happen one doesn't need great facilities. A child centric milieu sayi has provided.

Savi maybe lonely or may still bein the egocentric stage. The CVs seem confused about that . I have several friends and relatives home schooling and today there are several communities for home schoolers that has made learning fun.

It is a better option than a class of 50with over worked teachers.
