I am puzzled about the purpose of having regular assemblies

The school assembly

school students

The students generally assemble in the forecourts of their schools on certain days, every week. They have to wear proper uniforms. Like a military regiment, regiment, they have to form queues and stand straight. The ritual invariably includes singing of the national anthem and address by the principal to the students. There is also presentation of a wards and some announcements, sermons and warnings. It is often argued that an assembly is a wonderful occasion to know each other and exchange information. Frankly, I hardly find it a place of communication and interaction. On the contrary, it makes one feel like a petty worker among thousands in the assembly line of a factory.

More relevant and interesting

I am puzzled about the purpose of having regular assemblies. In fact, most of the students find it boring, except on some special occasions, like some entertainment shows and magic shows. I would suggest the school authorities to think whether frequent assemblies serve any goal or it just wears out the tender students in the morning for no purpose. Perhaps, some alternative and innovative method of assembly could be evolved that be less cumbersome, more relevant and interesting.
