Meaning of school: A school is a place where organized learning takes place.
The school is also like a family with different members. Generally, the school consist of five different group of members, they are:
- THE PRINCIPAL
- THE VICE PRINCIPAL (ACADEMICS AND ADMIN)
- THE CLASS TEACHERS.
- THE SCHOOL PREFECTS AND CLASS CAPTAINS.
- STUDENTS.
A good relationship among the children always starts at school when the children are first admitted into the school. They are all individuals from different homes and backgrounds.
They are new to each other because most of them are seeing each other for the first time, so they give them some time, and they will come together, eat together and discuss their problem together.
They know themselves better. They know their names, family background, States, tribes and even nationalities. They know their likes and dislikes.
In school, students form organisations and like Science Club, the debating Society, the Singing group, the Christians Union, cultural society.
The students study together, play friendly matches together. After leaving the school, friendships extend to their adulthood.
FACTORS THAT AID IN CHOOSING FRIENDS IN SCHOOL
The following are the factors that should guide us in choosing friends:
- Common Interest: We should choose friends with who we share the same interests with and the interests should have for positive impact.
- Age: Our friends should be people within our age group so that we can learn and help each other.
- Religion affiliation: Children from the same religion may likely choose each other as friends rather than choose someone from the opposite religion.
- Intellectual talent: Children who can play the same game are likely to be friends. Those who also have similar intellectual abilities and interests, e.g science student, will want to be friends with another science student.
- Sex: Students of the same sex prefer to be friends with each other instead of the opposite sex.
