Exam: How I Am Exploited - Page 8

There are roadblocks in every country. Economy , demographics, culture, prevailing competition all affect policy decisions about any system including education. I agree that too much focus on the exams esp theory based exams is not desirable. But I think considering the huge population of India that is the best that can be managed at present. As for kicking out the low performers its the opposite thats happening these days! To lower down the stress level level faced by some students the exam pattern has been changed, objective type questions have been increased, teachers are to adopt a very tolerant attitude to weaker students., marks attained are not to be disclosed before the class lest those who scored less feel uneasy. Where is the incentive or encouragement that a bright student deserves to perform even better! An interactive session in the class would make learning more fun and effective. This gets done at the college level but seldom in the schools. The teachers are hardpressed to complete their syllabus on time along with the mandatory cultural and extracurricular activities. A class of about 40 students isnt the ideal T-S ratio in any case. But till the time a better system is put in place we need to face the situation as it prsents itself. Its not as if there not options for kids not going into particular professinal courses . There are many viable and well paying options these days. It is the parents who fail to recognise their children's aptitudes and abilities and keep pushing them in an insane manner which I do not like. It has led to disastrous consequences for some. Trying to motivate a child is something acceptable but driving him to desperation is crazy!

It is rightly said that experience is the best teacher. No amount of sermonising ever helps. Each has to follow his own chosen path. So be it 😆

Educated and literate people are who will make a difference.

Maths is something that needs regular practice. Studying just before the exams doesnt help much. If time is limited then the focus would be on clearing the exams. But if the student has been regular i dont see why he cannot pay attention to the specifics. And I dont understand how the student can fail to notice the lack of speed or confidence that he has or has not gained while he solves the papers! The pvt tutor does conduct mock tests which are timed and get back to the students with the marks scored , doesnt he? The weekly class tests too should give an idea of where one stands vis a vis his preparedness for the exams. It really does not matter which book one follows at least not as far as MATHS is concerned. If a student has grasped the lessons well then he would be able to solve any problem concerned with those particular set of formulas. If not then he probably hasnt understood that particular chapter.
