But due to such discussions I am surely motivated..My personal experience is something that I would also like to share..At school level till grade 10 I was A grader but same as Seema told I became the victim of the tuition system in my grade 11 & 12..I scored less but got into engg..there also I did not excel...I was average..sometimes below average also...than I got married after graduation. I had my two kids..than suddenly one fine morning I decided to sit for the state civil services examination..n I cracked it at the first shot..(which is very difficult) and today I serve as class1 Officer to Government of Gujarat. So success can come at any age..not necesssry thst as a kid if u excel than only u succeed...<br />Nice yaar...I felt so good to share this to u all..hope u all will also not b bored to read so long comment...<br />Thanks anyway Shil...for making me feel good through your blog...bhakti shamalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202528372180798617.post-56535797679833848202013-05-02T20:57:52.335-07:002013-05-02T20:57:52.335-07:00Thus reminds me of an my real life incindence.in i...Thus reminds me of an my real life incindence.in india we have tution system(that i dont like or believe in). i was an ok student though very mischievious. managed to get distinction however seldom found with books. during my 10th std. my parents forced me for tuitions as i hardly read at home. the tuition teacher wud teach but i cannot understand his complicated ways...others in clasd where toppers from other schools who never had any qyestions to be asked!!! teacher was bored of me not being smart enough. n wud express the same during the class.<br />as such i fidnt like tuition concept. i knew what had to do n so one day just answered the teacher: Teaching Smart students Is easy but the real teacher is the one who can make a student Smart!!!. n i left tuitions. my parents welcomed my decision. even in school teachers doubted whether i wud clear 12th n get in some gud stream.<br />but well today am an engineer doing wat i like in a way i always wanted to do!!!!<br />am not blaming education ststem just a simple message to the srudents out there...we all know wat we are capable of...just give it a shot (unstressed) n leave it.. u wud surely excel!!!1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00767482930017347561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202528372180798617.post-21433705773053748502013-05-02T15:36:40.381-07:002013-05-02T15:36:40.381-07:00Ver true Alka.

Not looking forward to it. <br /><br />US with its common core is hoping to meet international standards without realizing that the tools given to the teachers are very different as compared to teachers in US. <br /><br />Case in point this article on Finland and its education system: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/people-places/Why-Are-Finlands-Schools-Successful.html<br /><br />I think the comparison is between apples and oranges. Time will tell what this brings. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.

That is what our tax dollars left over from prisons and war can afford.<br />The alternate thinkers, the questioners, the non test takers are grouped with the 'not smart' sections, where a single teacher is forced to leave no child behind among 30 not motivated very individual kids. The best she can do is bring them up to average, reinforcing the status quo. <br />As a parent, I can try to be creative with teaching, but am undermined by the current High Gate, medium gate and low gate grouping in our school.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635865278629160540noreply@blogger.com
