curtail wings and expect to fly

I was seating in school’s admission office, reading a book on education. A Parent came in to inquire about admission. I took them around, shown them school, gave them details and they took admission form. While leaving school Father said, “Sir, my daughter is very hyper. She can’t seat even for a minute. Do discipline her. I want to see her flying one day!”

I stood frozen with fake smile on face. I can’t kill expectation of parent, who wants to see their kids flying high in the sky and asks us (teacher) to curtail their developing wings. Why I can’t kill those desires?

Do I practice non-violence? Or I don’t have power? ….

I am here.. Still, mind keeps going back there…

Above incident took place somewhere in early 2018.
I still wonder! What has happen? Are we crushing or caring? Shall I teach Parent or Kids?
Who requires education?

So many questions...
