    The document compares the school experiences of grandparents and parents from India and the Netherlands. Some key similarities found between the generations include both attending co-ed schools, enjoying going to school, and having teachers that were generally nice. Differences noted were that the Indian system was stricter, subject options increased over time, and gender roles in schooling changed between grandparents and parents. Overall, while the experiences were generally positive, the school systems of both countries developed significantly across the three generations examined.

    Comparison Between Grandparents-


    Nishka and Amira-
    The grandparents' interviews, when compared, showed us that both the Indian and
    Dutch grandparents had several siblings and joint households. We also observed that,
    similar to the Indians, where most of the parents and grandparents attended co-ed
    schools, the Dutch also had co educational schools. We also noticed how similar the
    educational experiences of our grandparents' generation and those of the Dutch were.
    The Dutch educational system placed a lot of emphasis on extracurricular activities
    and sports while keeping academics in mind and the Indian educational system while
    being more academically oriented still gave sports and other extracurriculars support.
    Compared to the Dutch, where every member participated in sports, whether it was
    tennis, hockey, or soccer, the schools in India, did not have such an open range of
    variety in sports and often had only basketball and soccer as options. Both the schools
    of the Dutch and Indian grandparents began fairly early in the morning at around 8.30
    and there was not much difference in the school timings in both places. The
    Netherlands addressed their teachers as miss/sir and by their last name, whereas in
    India, they were typically addressed as madam/sir and by their first name. The Dutch
    teachers in that time were described as being extremely strict in the interviews, but in
    our interviews, we claimed that the teachers weren't that strict until they really
    needed to be. In conclusion, we believe that in the generation of our grandparents the
    systems of both the Dutch and Indians were quite similar.

    Comparison Between Parents-


    Riya and Choima-
    In India, my mother had to travel a lot to get to school, in order to reach on time she
    had to wake up very early. the school timings were 7am to 1pm. the teachers were very
    strict and weren't as friendly as they are today. Similar to my partners father, my mom
    never felt pressure to excel in school and enjoyed going to school to learn new things.
    In Netherlands, the school timings were a bit more convenient and teachers werent
    very strict with the students but they did punish the students when required. they had
    more variety of subjects like economics, french etc. while my mother only had English
    math and commerce [business].

    Comparison Between Parents and Grandparents-
    Vihaa and Lily-
    There were some similarities between our parents' experience of school life and some differences too.
    In both cases, boys and girls attended co-ed schools. They both found their teachers nice and enjoyed
    attending school, however, they faced the pressure of performing well due to the competitive
    environment. The school system in India at that time seemed to be a lot stricter than the school
    system in the Netherlands. Even the subject choice options were very much different as there were a
    few subjects that were offered in Netherlands but never in India.
    They received approximately 2 hours of homework each day. In India the number of exercises counted
    more. They used to get homework every day from their workbooks, and the teachers were very strict
    about its completion. At times they would get projects and models to make as assignments. In our
    grandparents' case there were many differences, In India, they attended co-ed schools throughout
    their school life (unless the opposed to do so by choice) however in the Netherlands after elementary
    school, girls discontinued their education while the boys continued with Secondary school and
    university. However both enjoyed coming to school.The difference between the parents and
    grandparents answers was that in our parent’s times education was accessible to both genders
    equally. Our parents had more choices of subjects than our grandparents. Other than this the two
    times were pretty much the same, and had one main thing in common, and that was that they all
    enjoyed their school and school life very much.

    Development with regard to the three generations-


    Kartik and Alex-
    Both of Alex's parents had a fondness for their schooling quite like my parents who have
    incredible respect for their schooling journey, since they had a very balanced childhood in
    comparison to us. I also learnt that not only did they have a love for school but Alex's parents
    excelled academically, with her father even being considered one of the top students in his
    class. Additionally, I gleaned that the culture in Romania placed a great emphasis on
    punishment as a means of discipline and that the majority of teachers were highly
    demanding, but now with us, punishments aren't as severe as they were before. This however
    was not the case for my indian parents who had reasonably demanding teachers who were
    not allowed to physically punish the students in any way and this continues to be the current
    situation as well. Fortunately, neither of Alex's parents had ever been on the receiving end of
    such treatment. Even with respect to homework our parents received much less homework
    and assignments than we do today because the educational system then believed in
    providing children with time to do few physical activities as well. i would like to conclude by
    saying that yes, there has been a lot of development over the years and in regards to the sub
    questions. The school system has changed drastically over the past generations with respect
    to our schedules, assignments given then, physical activity, subjects, requirements etc. the
    schooling systems before might be a little light on work but were much more particular
    about everything that was to be done that what the teachers are today.
