Dear Readers


This is the knowledge society where the only valuable thing is knowledge. If you have knowledge you have everything, or you will become competent enough to get everything. So, the very aim of should be knowledge acquisition. When the students are taught to cram any text and repeat the same in exams with the sole purpose of qualifying that exam, the resultant is not knowledge but some crammed up facts and texts which the child tends to forget because he never tried to understand the concepts and find its relevance and application in his/her own life. Instead children should be taught by parents and teachers, to understand the real meaning of concepts. This understanding will not only be everlasting, it will also lead the child on the path of knowledge generation, which is the most important pursuit of the knowledge industry to get success. Success should not be defined by marks rather it should be defined by knowledge of the child. But in today’s competitive world, the marks of the child are taken as the proof of his/her intelligence. This creates an undue pressure on the child to run after marks, whether through cramming or rote memorization. Learning is equated with the performance of the child in the exams and this fosters the culture of producing the texts written in the ‘prescribed’ textbooks, with or without it’s understanding. This culture is making the children see themselves as the consumers of knowledge which over time curb their ability to think out of the box and become the producers of knowledge, which is of utmost importance in the knowledge society. So, if we want our children to be successful and knowledgeable at the same time, we should encourage them to have a quest for knowledge instead of forcing just upon securing high marks in examination.

Motivation is necessary at crucial time

Dear Readers

This is the most crucial time for the students who are appearing in the board exams as well as for their parents and teachers who are expecting them to give their best performance in the exams and move ahead for a bright future. But we forget that the most important thing that can help a child to perform better is motivation and social and emotional support. Students have a dual pressure for good academic performance, pressure created by the high expectations of parents and teachers and the pressure of an inner urge to prove oneself. This pressure can adversely affect the performance of the child, if not dealt with properly. So, the best thing that parents and teachers can do is to motivate the child to give his/her best instead of comparing them other children or their elder siblings and cousins. They should encourage them to study so as to learn something that will help them live a better life. Gaining knowledge should be the aim of studying and securing high marks to secure a position in this competitive world. When we aim to learn today so as to make ourselves better than what we were yesterday, the future will automatically be bright. These values should be inculcated in the child by the parents and teachers so as to prepare them not just for any exam, but for their life.
