Encourage The Children

Parents ,students and teachers , all are unhappy.I look at them and wonder why?But then it dawns upon me that the chief cause of their unhappiness is their marks.How silly I feel when a child scoring above 90% is also sad.Going back to our young days I remember , how happy each one used to be with whatever they scored.For we knew only fools don't put in their best during their boards.It is not that people don't know it today but it is a way of life to keep on adding stress not only in their life but also on one around them.As a teacher if my students gets poor marks I should be more responsible than him . For he came to learn but I was not capable of teaching him.Stop uselessly harassing the children .Let them bloom.There is a lot to learn in life and marks are just one of them and not everything.Before you scold your child analyse whether you are just in scolding him.Giving money for tution and sending them to the best school is not the only duty that one has to perform as a parent.There is a lot more to it.Be there for them when they need you most .Hear what they have to say.Be their friend not just their mentor.Don't let them wilt before their age.I have found from my analysis there is always an increase in the % of a child's performance in boards than what it was at school level.Sometimes even weak students put in their best and get almost 30% more marks than what they did in school exams.If you reflect and think I am sure you will agree a child getting 80% at school can't jump by 30% in boards. So dear readers I request all of you to be rational. Encourage the children do not demoralize them.
