I have two daughters studying in an ICSE based school. I feel that education in schools these days is just to introduce the chapter (read as quickly reading the chapter once in the class), and then leaving everything (from understanding to memmorising) to the parents. This is so because the course is lengthy and there are a lot of exams. Practically there is one exam every 1.5 months!
Due to this, even when the exams are approaching from month end, the teachers are going ahead with the course of the next term! So, for the kids, they have to prepare for this term's exams, do the homework for subjects covering things which would come only in the next term, do projects, and what not!
I feel, teachers and specifically the principal should understand and properly pace the studies, so that the kids have a better life! Atleast, they should be able to manage some time to play in the evenings!
My experience to this was that when I took this point with the principal, the answer I got from her was that why am I raising Invalid points! I had only one option - to bear with this and let the system go on! I hope someday we all also understand about the kids.
