Please stop giving importance to 10th standard board exam: It is not special, it's like any other previous classes of schooling:

Most of us have experienced our life's 'sweet 16'. In this age usually we face our 10th standard board exam.

After the board results are announced the new heroes and heroines appear on TV and newspaper. Is the knowledge so glamorous.

Let's analyse some practical issues.

Have you ever thought why do we give so much importance to performance of 10th standard alone? Is not the learning of the previous years important?

One major cause among the many causes which is creating more importance for 10th standard is, the 'Marks card' of board exam. The reason is, this marks card is considered for higher education, job and few legal/government office procedures. Because of this we focus on 1 year result/marks, ignoring a decade of education happened till 10th.

The other reason is the answer sheet is not evalvated by the teachers who taught them. I e. A third person does board exam paper correction.

5 facts about 10th standard might clear our misconceptions:

1. The 10th standard is just a continuation of 9th standard as we continued from 1st to 2nd or 6th to 7th or 8th to 9th.

2. The education board/experts draw the curriculum plan from 1st standard to 10th standard according to the learning level and age appropriateness of the children. So each grade/class is important.

3. The topics which are taught in 10th standard are all connected to previous grades, it is important for students to know previous class concepts (primary/ higher primary). The students who have not put good efforts in earlier classes will feel the pain to cope up with concepts in 10th. Specially in maths and science.

4. In an effort to get more marks the students often who are not used to routine study habits, feel the pain to get into strict study schedules in 10th. These students become aggressive or depressed.
Advice: Why can't we make students to focus on studies from earlier classes like primary itself, as we try to organize their routine in 10th standard. 
I don't think we plan so deeply for other classes as we do for 10th standard.

5. From grade 1 start preparing and strengthening your child's basics of grammar, writing skills, Comprehension- understanding skills, maths, and science.

To conclude, make your child love to learn, and love the learned.

OUR ROLE AS PARENTS:

- We know that today's children are tomorrow's citizens. How do we develop the young citizens. How can they become the productive contributors for the family as well as the society. The parenting is a multi dimensional approach. It involves emotional, physical, moral, spritual, and cognitive aspects of the child. Good parenting involves a style that considers children's age and stage of development. Good parenting involves a great deal of consistency and routine, which gives children a sense of control. A good parent , often does their best to teach their child how to live life to the fullest. Bad parenting is a series of actions that can seriously harm the child's demeanour and psychology. Bad parenting isn't restricted to a single act; it is a collection of these acts that are usually what contributes to a harmful effect on the child. Thus every intention, and action of a parent impacts children. Below we have brought a collection of day to day child's an

Teacher encourages 6th class dropout, later on that student establishes a successful food company:

  - A boy fails in 6th standard and drops out of school. After being concerned of a student dropping out of school, a teacher encourages that child to join back the school. Later on this boy in his career develops a food business and delivers his success story at Harvard University. Today the company which he developed is know as 'iD fresh food'. As of 2021 the company is valued at ₹2,000 Crore. After failing in Class 6 he joined his father on the farm. He said in one of the interview, "We barely earned ₹10 in daily wages. Eating three meals a day was a distant dream. I'd tell myself, 'Right now, food is more important than education',". Many successful people are those who come out of hardship and struggle in their venture and later on this struggle gives them motivation to achieve in life. These people are ready to take risks in life, as they have already lived 'out of their comfort zone'. This story also highlights the value of a teacher who was

Involve parents, carers and families for school success:

Work with parents/carers and families can add strength and depth, and has been shown to have a significant impact in making approaches and specific interventions more effective, both by helping family life reinforce the messages of the school and through helping parents and carers develop their own parenting skills and attitudes. The school has an important part to play in supporting the kind of parenting and family life that boosts well-being. This can be done informally, through conversation with individual parents and carers, or more formally through presentations at parents’ evenings, printed information, parenting education courses, and designated family link workers. Parents and carers who may not have had a positive experience of parenting themselves may need particular help to respond to their children’s behaviour in emotionally literate ways, to spend quality time with their children, to focus on their children’s strengths, to listen, empathise and understand the causes

5 points - Better teacher collaboration and better school outcomes:

-  Collaboration means collective efforts to achieve shared belief and common outcome.  Collaborative  efforts are essential, particularly when the focus is on progress and development. Below are the 5 points why collaboration is key at school: 1.  The collaboration between the teachers is key for academic development and progress at school. Working together can lead to the exchange of valuable teaching methods and intellectual insights, but these advantages are often overlooked amid busy schedules.  2. Teachers have usually a very packed schedule. Teachers often face challenges when it comes to collaboration due to packed schedules filled with specific duties and fixed periods, making it difficult to find the time for deeper planning and individual student assessments. 3. The education of teachers in teaching techniques and methodologies and child development is very very important. Poor educational backgrounds, particularly among non-B.Ed. teachers in private schools can further hind

CBSE manual for mental health and wellbeing:

  - Children's success in school and life is directly linked to their mental health. Many of us either do not understand the connection or just ignore it. Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.  There is a very crucial need to understand this area of children at school. This is a manual (See at the end) published by CBSE board, which lays down perspectives on MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING. The 21st century emerging challenges have necessitated that the schools also shift the focus to the psychosocial needs of students and take care of the overall wellbeing.  The schools should take actions and adopt strategies for identification and prevention of various mental health and wellbeing needs, which would create safe school environment. The priority in schools should mainly be about early identification at the individual and systemic level. This document attempts to align the role and import

School meal programs are linked with improvements in the classroom:

 - > A  school meal  (whether it is a breakfast, lunch, or evening meal) is a  meal  provided to  students  and sometimes  teachers  at a  school , typically in the middle or beginning of the school day. Countries around the world offer various kinds of  school meal programs , and altogether, these are among the world's largest  social safety nets . > Providing students with breakfast in the classroom is associated with lower rates of tardiness, fewer disciplinary office referrals, improved attendance rates, and improved math and reading achievement test scores. > A considerable body of evidence shows that the school meals programs are profoundly important for students, especially low-income students, with well- documented benefits. > School meals support good nutrition throughout the school day. Program participants are less likely to have nutrient inadequacies and are more likely to consume fruits, vegetables, and milk at breakfast and lunch. “ The exposure to healthi

5 points- Why you need counselling support at school (Part 1.10):

-  Many of us feel that counselling is for people who are weak and incompetent. In reality, many people miss this expert help and guidance because of these misconceptions. There are few myths related to counselling, like it is only for major issues or crazy people, admitting that you need help and going for counselling means you're weak, counselling doesn't help or will make the situation worse, the counsellor doesn't know me - so they can't help me etc. ( https://calgarycounselling.com ). But really if you see at the counselling, these are the professionals who are trained to help humans in their day to day life needs. There are specialized people who are called as ‘school counsellors, who work with school stakeholders for students and school success. Out of all needs, mental health needs are very prime. Mental health affects not only academics but also other areas of life. The problems of children are different in each type of school. One school in my study is day s
