During this exam & entrance season all parents are so worked up, some of them even more than their kids.
I feel so sad for these kids who are pressurized to perform beyond their capabilities.
Mere marks and entrances decide how intelligent or bright a kid is?
Most parents expect their kids to be the topper.
My question is if every kid tops the class and clears the entrance then how will the system work? Come on someone has to come last for someone to come first.
Parents should really sit back and think what are they doing to their kid by forcing them to study so hard & what do they finally want from their kid?
I am sure they have an answer to that, something like “We don’t want anything, we are simply securing their future”, ya right – in the pursuit of securing their future, their present is being ruined.
Kids are living under constant fear of letting down their parents if they don’t fair well, if they don't enter a so called "respectable profession".
Half the kids are living & fulfilling their parents dream; what about their dream, their life & their childhood – it’s all lost in the expectations awaiting them!

J; you are rite..i see my colleagues behaving in the same manner and actually if u have a child who is not concerned with entrance exams etc. then that parent is considered to be bad parent.all the time i hear words like control, security,money,competition,and it goes on and on...the intensity with which they feel the need to get good marks...has to be seen to be believed...the aim in life is to get good marks get into engg or medicine and then struggle and become pasionless docs or engg and screw up an entire nation...
