It is the season of 'marks and school and college admissions'.
Common questions:
What did your son/daughter score?
What are they going to do next?
Answers have been constant :
90% and more!
Every student has been an outstanding performer.
How is this possible? are they all so good and so perfect that they scored perfect numbers even in theoretical papers?
Were their essays and grammar flawless?
This puts pressure on children who sit for their exams the following year.
Score high, score more, A scored so much, B studied so hard she got so much.
The pressure on average students to get 90% is now high.
The expectations on above average students to get 95% and more is now seen in the parent's eye.
College admissions have become more stringent, with top colleges demanding a 95% average for an admit.
What is a child supposed to do?
