I don’t pretend to be an expert in Bangladesh history, but the birth of any nation never comes easily. There will always be two sides to statehood, those who want it and those who don’t. The difference lies in the actions of those who don’t. In general, I don’t support capital punishment, not saying that everyone can be reformed or deserves that option. Usually, I stay out of Politics all-together.
I imagine when there is a hartel/shut-down/strike after a long period the kids take just like a snow day in the northeast of the USA. It’s an unexpected break from school. However, when you have day after day hartels happening regularly it is a whole other situation. As an educator and a parent I feel outraged that these shutdowns are allowed to continue. I do understand protest, but where and when will the government and law enforcement draw the line.
Schools have now adopted different policies to ensure the students complete the school year with the adequate number of school days, but there are still interruptions depending on the severity of the hartel.
Of course, more important is the effect on the the economy of the country and the impact on the livelihood of businesses.
