Question

You have observed that most of the students in your class are only worried about marks and do not think about acquiring knowledge. Parents are also satisfied as long as their children are scoring good marks in their report cards. You feel this is encouraging rate learning. Discuss with your parn how do you think the student would react to your suggestions

Answer 1

Our system of system of education is of such type that students care more about their marks rather than to lay stress on knowledge.They try to gain maximum marks and cram the syllabus which they forget later on.Moreover they are supported by the parents who enclurage them to do so.But this affects the internal knowledge of student as he is not able to perform well later in competetive exams.This practise should be discouraged so that the students study well and their later studies do not get affected.Awareness,for me is the solution to all problems.Whenever necessary we should aware the people about the effects of craming.Parents too should not force the children to get marks rather they should encourage them to gain knowledge.students may be adiviced not to do so by giving examples of some great personalities like Thomas edison,Albert Einstein who were not gaining marks in their class but later proved to be famous.

Answer 2

Some students think that exam marks are important than knowledge. They memorise anything without understanding it (rote learning). Students should only acuire knowledge. Parents also thinks that their children's are scoring good in exam but these scores don't have any value. When their exams come, they memorise everything but after few days they forget everything. We can convince them that don't worry about marks, marks don't have any value. If they memorise today and forget tomorrow then what is the value of those marks if u don't have any knowledge. Knowledge have no limit, everyone in future see your knowledge they rarely see marks. Our friends may be scold us but we should never give up.
