EXAM TIME - a headache for students

      CAN EXAMS BE FUN?


NO, the answer is a laconic and a very big NO! Exams are times when children have to pull up their socks and work harder, no matter how much adversity they may have faced during the entire term or session,and no matter how erudite the child is he or she has to study when exam time comes.Exams for me means an extra bundle of books on your table and thrice the studying hours. Children are not a big concern during exams the most and the only thing that is important is study,study and only study! According to me each and every child in this universe (even if there is life on Mars and there are children there also) is an astute learner. Getting good marks give the children relief from study that too only for a week or so , after that again on the track to study.

  I am not saying that we children shouldn't study or anything but the message want to convey is that there should be some mercy shown to these little people who work so hard.Exams aren't a bit fun! I mean what fun is it studying what our ancestors used to eat or make or even do? , yes there are several reasons but they're nothing more than dogmatics for me.What fun is it reading boring whimsical and specious stories? Okay and on top of everything, what can you even expect from a child who has learnt a whole big fat HISTORY BOOK? The only thing you'll find a child during exams is studying.

 The schools should understand these problems and abridge the books and syllabus both! But they are just doing the opposite , they're exacerbating their problems and are thickening the books more and more and lengthening the syllabus too.Yes, I agree that studying for exams might corroborate our doubts and make us less hypothetical but the editors should print more concise and terse books , because these extraneous and abundant details in the form of -Did you know? and facts , are just confusing children .But this printing of fat big books according to me has become a kind of a ritual in today's time and is immutable,so all these efforts are of no use

 .And no wonder why the books have to be so scrupulous .Children study so much and in so much of depth that what they study has become what they dream!Exams just can't be fun,the only thing they bring us is tension , we're literally supposed to get a hundred upon hundred in each and every subject!Even mothers are so frustrated and perplexed that when they go into a restaurant instead of asking for the menu they might ask for the syllabus!
So exams don't just perplex us but others also,because every book may have a different theory,so what can even our elders do ?
So the straightforward answer to the question is NO.

When Wishes Come True by Rabindranath Tagore

A BOOK REVIEW: This story explains that you always don't get what you wish for, and if you do there can be many complications. It explains one of the most important part of  our life. It tells us that our childhood is something we should enjoy to its fullest, for time never turns back. The story has two protagonists so it isn’t exactly possible to hate anyone. Tagore begins by saying that namesakes aren’t always true- a reference to Subal and Sushi, ad their paradoxical attitudes. As they make their wishes they are granted, too. But as said in the preamble there were too many complications. This book actually was a reconciliation of four stories and I liked this story the best. Its author, Rabindranath Tagore, was a well known poet, laureate, artist and philosopher- he wrote elegant prose and magical poetry. His stories are quite sensitive, fresh and beautiful.

Stages of a Stressful Homework

HOMEWORK- SHOULD IT BE BANNED: PART II After coming to a conclusion that homework can be worthwhile as well as another thing for the students to sweat about, this post illuminates the stages a student goes through when completing a homework- before, during and after. Before receiving a bundle of homework the students, generally, are seen trying to enjoy the last minutes of their freedom and sovereignty. Once having obtained homework from one subject, they try to prepare themselves for the upcoming war. By the end of school, they are already analyzing how much of their play time will be compromised in trying to complete the homework. Even though, some humane teachers don’t ask for the submission of the homework the following day straightaway, but majority of the students prefer completing the homework beforehand due to their own explicit reasons, one of which being the fact that teachers give extra marks to those who submit homework and assignments before the deadline. The s...

The Story of All Parents.

Note to my dearest parents: Happy birthday! I am sorry I cannot give a better gift to you than a mere blog post- but words are the only gifts that can even come close to explain how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. I hope you understand. Parents. They are the only people in the universe who give you every single thing in the world and never ask for it back. They let you dwell on your dreams and keep the problems faced during the course of accomplishing it to themselves. They will always let you think that everything is alright even when they are under more pressure than they can handle. Parents will do anything to shield you from your fears and enemies but yet won’t be afraid to tell you to stop when you walk into the wrong direction. They act like a compass- it shows you the right direction flawlessly unless there is too much of magnetic force. Similarly, parents can tell you what to do and what not to, but once you start to take into account- the...
