Answer 1

Students these days are only worried about acquiring more and more marks just to keep their parents satisfied and also to maintain a rank among their friends . But I think marks is one of most useless thing for which we students keep worrying about day and night. It is not the marks after which students should run but it is the knowledge after which students should try to run and even the parents should encourage their children to stop worrying about marks and start gaining more and more knowledge. Suppose , now a student of class 10 who is good at maths is given a class seventh maths problem to solve , I gurantee you that he would not be able to solve because he does maths to gain marks not knowledge. I say all of our parents maintain a good position in their offices , now , how many people ask them about their marks but everybody asks them about their qualifications and the quality of knowledge they have. No one would remember your physics marks in class 10 and give you a job according to that , you would be given a job according to your qualifications. Parents too should see about how much knowledge their children are gaining because just by seeing a report card one cannot know how much knowledge a boy has gained. Marks can get you good ranks in schools but to get good ranks in offices and society knowledge is the only key. By just learning notes one can get good marks in exam but learning notes for knowledge will help you to pay in the long run. So , remember this and learn carefully . Its your choice to learn for marks or knowledge.
