Yes most of the parents do that but that's really sad. I was never forced by my parents but still I was one of the toppers in the class. So I don't think one has to force kids to be a topper proper guidance can make him/her as they want. :)

Hai everybody,in today's competitive world each and every parent force their child to score high marks in Board Exams.They think "My child should be a topper in results" .It is somewhat bad,why parents are thinking like this? In addition to this,teachers and school managements also forces the their students to score more marks.Because they have to show a good result and make money on it.I am asking Is it Good to force a child to score high marks? without understanding the child's capacity and ability..Is it right ?

Yes Kalyani Madam,even when we look in to a normal urban family,parents won't ask their children about the aim of study and interested field.When this fate will change? and when will this rate race come to an end?

I have come across this terrible piece of conduct on the part of parents whose academic records are pitiable. They mercilessly exploit their wards to achieve what they themselves failed miserably in their own lives.

Yes.This is another tragedy happening in the life of children.What is the solution of this problem?

Yes,as you said the way parent and school handles is important on children.At this stage, i would like to say many parents are determining the aims of their children rather they don't insist the pros and cons of the life in future.Also,i think comparison with other child is a main problem in the student's society.Really, this should be avoided.Is their children's marks giving any social status for parents?

By comparing the children with other children, parents are committing gravest mistake. This leads to low self esteem and inferiority complex in the children.

In spite of knowing this many parents tend to do this, even the highly educated ones.This is one of the worst possible things to do for a child since he or she feels inferior and tends to become a loner in later life if he or she does not perfprm well in studies. What parents dont realise is that an individual needs to develop an all round personality rather than nbecome a book worm alone..

Sadly, since the British left India , we have not been able to free ourselves from their education system which was designed in the first place to create a generation of clerks who would work for them cheaply. Now the system we have is not at all far from that, we are busy creating a generation of such glorified clerks who will work for Europeans and Americans and earn money in huge packages. We are not trying to be original and authentic and neither are we allowing our children to be original. Hence the ridiculous rat race for scoring high marks! :blink: But no one gives a thought to what the scenario will be 10 years from now! :blink:
