That's right Suny cut off these days is going so high kids having low score don't get admissions in the colleges so parents if expect high scores from their kids is not a wrong thing but they just not expect they should also work on it so that their kid may score high in the exams. :)

Parents are going out of their limit to improve their children to stay in competition, the vote hungry politicians have left no choice for ordinary children/parents to go for extra efforts than needed otherwise. They have not enough opportunities therefore this ratrace.

I can understand the parental anxiety to see their children on a high pedestal. In this process, they ignore to know if their kid is a 'Bullock Cart' or a 'Rolls Royce.'

But that's not abnormal if parents don't want their kids to be Bullock cart. :woohoo:

True. No parents want to see their children as a bullock cart, but parents must see what their children want to become. They must see if their children have the potential to become what they want to become.

I think children are confused themselves. they want to become whatever they see in their journey. It's duty of parents to guide them properly keeping their interest in mind. However you cannot leave everything on children themselves because very few know what is good or bad for them, they certainly need your guidance and proper counselling.

Forcing children to score good marks is not a good thing. Any parent should encourage and giving boosting to their children to perform well, but it should be like a burden on them. They have to make them understand that how good it is if one is a topper. After trying from all the ends, if the child is not getting good marks, nothing can be done, but just try and try again.

It would be better if the parents identify the niche in the child and encourage the child to fortify the inherent qualities.

Personally speaking, parents should concentrate on developing an all round personality instead of making their children into book worms or muggers...They should encourage them to take part in sports , debates and other extra curricular activities which would help them much more in the future rather than just scoring marks...

I agree with this. But most of the parents don't understand it and want their kid to be better in studies. I remember when I was a kid I was never inspired to take part in other activities but now in schools the education system is changed now schools also give more attention towards other activities than studies. I know this becuase every month I have to prepare my kids for competitions held in their school. Moreover I see some change in them unlike me in childhood as I can see they are not shy like I used to be in childhood as debates in school has made them outspoken. :)

Most of the members in this topic discussing about parents pressure.But look at the children,if suppose we won't give pressure means,many children could not get marks.So,pressure is needed to some extent.
