Commission
Schools Books?
As soon as the new
school session begins, the concerned parents rush towards bookstalls to buy their kids new
books. They are seen here and there with the book-lists given by the schools to complete
the prescribed set. But it is really astonishing to see that the textbook prescription
slip comes with missing details. The slip seems to have been written in highly coded
language, like that of medical practitioners, so that the parents do not go to bookstalls
other than the school authority wants them to. The school mentions only the name and
address of the bookstore and the grade concerned. As they pass the note to the bookseller,
the already packaged set is handed over to them. If they customarily asked for certain
amount of concession and the salesperson would reply that the discount they were supposed
to get has already gone in commission to the school authority. One who pays should have
been entitled to any deduction, but is there any body to check this kind of white
cheating?
