Congratulations, you are at school

Congratulations, you are at school

When I passed by the former school I taught in, I was attracted by the above sentence painted on the cement wall near the school gate. It is a very good way to encourage students to come to school by patting them on the back.

Students of this school like to absent themselves without good reasons. Their act makes the teacher even busier because they have to send the first letter to each student's guardian if he has been absent continuously for three days.

To congratulate a pupil for being at school is really a novel way of encouraging him to come to school daily.
