Social Impact
Burn Hall has been a leader in promoting harmony and mutual brotherhood in the Kashmiri society with Mirwaiz Farooq, an alumni, leading from the forefront. Being an English medium, the school lays special emphasis on the usage of English language in student-teacher and student-student interaction. This helps students to get a good hold on English language early on in their career and sets them up nicely to face college and then the real world. Burn Hallins have their own personality and are considered to be very modest and humble with great leadership skills.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or impact:
“As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
