Butter makes Bitter life, Better life!

Schools as they are responsible for the academics they are also in the platform to motivate the students and keep them certain about their successful future. Motivation is one of the toughest aspect where in the factors of attitude and the understanding level matters. Further, facing live positive and understanding the struggles and the feeling of various emotions, perseverance, annoyance, frustration and much more which is touch to explain to with a sense of courage and positive attitude. Here’s a sweetest poem illustrating life by Dr.Anshu Arora

BUTTER

I earnestly want to churn
Fresh and sweet-smelling butter
From the free-flowing cream

It is a simple deed indeed
Then, what do I ponder?
Whipping cream with the blender

Sometimes it’s temperature
Sometimes consistency
That gravitates procedure

But butter is my dream
Buried inside the cream
dollops, I wish to skim

It lies at the core
Wanting patience galore
To show and then roar

Cream is concoction
Mix of life’s moments-
Lazy, waste & precious

Butter is our destination
Centrifuged by determination
It’s our ultimate salvation

Excuses forever delay
And efforts eventually pay
As labour toils each day

If there are chunks of butter
they will manifest and glitter
And slowly get better from bitter

You just sail through the tide
Holding time by your side
Keep trust, it may be the last strife

Butter has to coagulate
Buttermilk will separate
That is the final fate

Neither babble nor rattle
Just show your mettle
Make ‘butter’ & win life’s battle

The concept of cost savings and RoI is positive with School Management Software

Adding technology to your school subtracts expenses to a greater dismay. Here’s the exact list of expenses you can avoid by installing a school management system.

For the list of benefits added here, we have cited PenPencilEraser‘s school management system which the schools are already experiencing it to be to prove the statements highlighted below.

1. Delivers enhanced Resource Management for schools

 

By installing a school management system, Super Admin(usually Principal, VP or Authorized person of the Management) who is in charge of all school administration task monitor and manage all works on the system. This system of control call off the requirement to enroll separate staff to administer different departments of school such as Fee, Payroll, Inventory, HR Finance and so on.

A Super Admin can feed all data into the system and track all money management flow in the school with a few clicks and in software like PenPencilEraser, money management is a distinguished feature in built to streamline the expenses and income of schools. Such system has the facility to create n number of users with different admin privileges to access the system and the super admin can divide the task to different admins who complete prompt on the system.

2. Conveying information through sophisticated channels

 

Personal communication often is required at schools to contact parents and teachers on any important announcement or emergencies through call or message, accounting to the cost to the management. Especially for a school of high strength, it’s time consuming and costlier. A school management software with communication features inbuilt, SMS can be rolled out in no time saving cost, time and energy together.

3. Cutback the running time for future

 

Time is priceless, and when a school management system saves your time, you can utilize it in finding other ways to improve the academics, streamline the management and more on the whole giving more time to focus on strategic task at your school.

4. Paperless Administration as Resultant

 

One exceptional quality of any school management system is it reduces the amount of paperwork and the cost incurred for spending on stationary. In PenPencilEraser, the teachers can apply leave online with their individual login created for every staff at the school wherein the head of departments approve/deny the leave which gets notified to the leave applicant. Such intelligent system get rid of minute paper works which saves money to a greater extent.

5. Multiple Board Management on a composite dashboard

 

The other notable advantage is that when schools follow different board structure combined, managing all boards efficiently together requires accuracy and individual staffs to maintain the activities. This again can be avoided by a school management system since all the board structures can be predefined and school can start working with a single admin to control the activities of school dashboard.

To conclude, Many licensed or subscription based models of school software exist in the market. Considering the total operation cost held to the management, installing a school management system definitely lowers the expenses and also found to be a better return on investment concept for schools. These online software can hold records of any size with their cloud computing technology and is scalable and customizable to meet schools of any size and structure.
