Well to do Parents in their over enthusiasm to see that their wards score high marks and get admissions in well known colleges, spend a lot of amounts of hard earned money into private coaching and extra classes.
Such children struggle to devote quality time for all such extra classes, leading to good results in some and not so good results in some other exams/courses. Ultimately the objective of the parents and the children, that off, getting admissions in prestigious colleges/professional courses, gets fulfilled only in some cases. In a majority of cases this doesnt happen.
Therefore I feel, a mixture of following shd yield better results: a) Put the child in decent schools, where the atmosphere, ambient, and the teachers are adequately qualified, and the children/students come from decent backgrounds/families.
b) Give coaching in subjects where you feel the child needs extra support. For example, if your child is not scoring 100 out of 100 in Maths, you may give her/him this addition support of private tution. Find out if the teacher is well qualified and his students score well in Maths, and then admit.
c) Discipline must be ensured. Example get up at 5 am in the morning, go to bed at 11 pm every day, playing for an hour, etc. Good habits like brushing two times a day, respect to elders, going to temples once a while, having dinner with all in the family, reading English newspapers, listen to news, etc. must be ensured.
