Coach
I am Ratna Pathak.
*I am a teacher of English in Kendriya Vidyalaya,No.1 AFS, Jodhpur. I teach children of the age-group 11-16 years. I have a team of enthusiastic students who love to work on Think.com. We decided to participate in this contest because my students wanted to learn something new. This topic was chosen as Child Labor is a burning issue in the Indian sub-continent. To stop child labor in future, it is essential that today's generation becomes sensitive towards them.
About the Site
The name of the site was inspired by a Dorsey Dixon song- 'Babies in the Mill' written in 1960s. This song is on child labor in the mills of America. The lyrics of the song go like this:
I used to be a factory hand when things was moving slow,
When children worked in cotton mills, each morning had to go.
Every morning just at five the whistle blew on time
To call them babies out of bed at the age of eight and nine.
Come out of bed, little sleepy head,
And get you a bite to eat.
The factory whistle's calling you,
There's no more time to sleep.
To their jobs those little ones was strictly forced to go.
Those babies had to be on time through rain and sleet and snow.
Many times when things went wrong their bosses often frowned.
Many times those little ones was kicked and shoved around.
Those babies all grew up unlearned, they never went to school.
They never learned to read or. write. They learned to spin and spool.
Every time I close my eyes, I see that picture still
When textile work was carried on by babies in the mill.
