 - The purpose of a teacher and education system is to, 'motivate the weak, to address the average, and challenge the gifted'. Every teacher and parent has to continuosly understand the child's holistic development and performance at school and at home, that's where assessment is a useful thing. Currently there is very less awareness of assessment method, and most of them are  using evaluation method at school/classroom. What is assessment? Assessment can be defined as, a methodical way of acquiring, reviewing and using information about someone or something, so as to make improvement where necessary.

 If you are a Parent... Please don't ever make your Child feel depressed like this.  During my School Days, I came home with the Mark Sheet showing 90 marks scored by me in an exam, hoping to get compliments from my Dad.  However, once my Dad took a glance of it, he said I added the 0 on the Mark Sheet to make it 90 and beat me a lot.  I told him honestly that I didn't add the 0 but he wouldn't believe me.  I felt so depressed that my Dad did not believe me that I did not add the 0 .... and till date don't know why my Dad kept saying I added the 0.
