Akruti Bhatia case - School Princiapal being victimised

This is with reference to the death of a student Akruti Bhatia of Modern School, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi. In the moments of grief, sentiments and emotions run high and the anguish of parents is understandable. I offer my sympathies and condolences to the bereaved family, May her soul rest in peace.
In instances like these, parents, quickly pounce on to attack the school authorities and do not want to take the blame on themselves; they want to pass on this onus on the school authorities - this is not fair. Going by the statement of Ms. Goldy Malhotra, the Principal, she has done the best she could for the child. It is announced that an enquiry is being made, till then parents should behave properly and await judgment. However, my point here is that it is easy to say the negligence is on part of school authorities, what about the negligence of the parents?
A point to consider is that Asthma is a long term ailment, and this is not the first attack that Akruti Bhatia has had, there have been many previous instances. On that particular day too, she must have had discomfort from morning, then too she was sent to school. The normal tendency of parents is that however sick a child may be, the parents insist on sending child to school, they feel the child will be better off at school rather than sit at home. The same thing probably applies to this case too. Parents cannot take the school to task, without accepting their own responsibility.
Another point to note is that instances of this nature are very stray and rare, for which no school in the entire country or may be in the world too would be equipped to handle such a situation, and putting the blame grossly on school authorities is not fair. Teachers are not medical professionals.



Parents should consider the future of other asthmatic children and if they become too unruly, then the future is bleak for asthmatic children to get admission into schools. Parents will ask for medical history and the moment, there is a problem child; schools may refrain from admitting such children. It is a probability.
