Arre, bhai, tumi absolutely right kotha bolecho! Oi school er logic toh besh bhalo shunche—tradition er naam e shobai ke same template e dhukano ta ki kaje lage? Oi polio-r mark niye je chhele-ta 100 meter e third hoyechilo, tara kintu physically bhaloi effort diyechilo—ekhon chakki ghotano ba dhol bajano ta ki tader jonno customised benefit anbe, na just burden barabe? Aami nijei dekhechi, notun kichu rule anar age jaate shobar jonno affordable o accessible hoy, tai bhebe dekha uchit—nahole politics er 'pore thik hoye jabe' bole kete dewa jhamela hoye.
Your concern is spot-on, macha. Tradition is good, but if a rule doesn't first ask "will this help the weakest child?" then it's just another way to leave someone behind. My daughter's class once added a 'baagge' to sports day, and a boy with a limp was put on scorekeeping — no one taught him to play, they just moved him aside. That's not connection, that's convenience.
