Many state boards have released the board exam 2023 date sheet and CBSE And as CISCE is ready to declare the tentative timetable by this month, students and their parents may be worried. Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor has asked everyone to stop judging their children only on the basis of exam marks. “We put more emphasis on exams in India,” he said.
Sharing a note on social media platform, Twitter, Tharoor said that not taking away the dignity and confidence of a child as he was unable to score high marks in the examination is not the right way to deal with children. Among the students appearing for the exam is an artist who doesn’t need to understand maths, an entrepreneur who doesn’t care about history or English literature, a musician whose chemistry scores don’t matter.
“If your child gets top marks, that’s great! But if he doesn’t… please don’t take away his confidence or dignity from him. Tell him it’s just a test. are cut for things. Tell them whether you love them or not and will not judge them,” the note read.
All parents should read this letter on the occasion of National Education Day, the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (India’s first Education Minister, 1947 to 1958). We lay more emphasis on examinations in India. Let’s stop judging our kids only on the basis of exam scores!” Tharoor tweeted.

Several social media users commented on Tharoor’s post and many agreed with him. “Fantastic! Every human being has an innate talent, but it is the irony of our society that instead of focusing on the talents of the children, we impose our ideas on them, even their talents for the elders. It is important to understand and expand,” tweeted one user. (sic)

While some attributed it to the education system. “Parents are completely swayed by the system their children will have to go through.

India And there is no equal opportunity for everyone to hone their natural skills. Marks are just an issue.” (sic)
