"What! No tuition for 10th board! Are you kidding?" This is the response which I got from my friends when I told them about me not going for tuition.
Going to tuition in 10th and 12th has become something necessary. It is inculcated in today's young generation's minds as an integral part of life. Just like how they know that they should start schooling when they are four years and start their college when they complete school, it is imbibed in their minds that they must go for tuition when they go to 10th. Kapil Sibal was right when he told that students are getting over-stressed in 10th. But that does not mean we need not write the 10th board at all. Only if we write the 10th boards, we can have an idea how the boards will be, for otherwise we'll suffer in 12th which is more important. Its the 12th board which decides our future.
What is the purpose of school if it is necessary to go to tuition in tenth? Tuition teachers teach the same thing that is taught in school. You may tell we ought to go at least for the tests they keep. Well, don't they keep tests in school? If we understand the concept properly, then we can handle any sort of question. The only condition is we must understand the concept thoroughly and apply our brain. Tuition is meant only for weak students. In older days it was an insult if people went to tuition. But today it is vice versa. We need to concentrate in the class and do the daily portions as soon as possible. I know that it is impossible to complete the daily portions on the same day. But we should put in our best effort. I know a student who had Maths tuition from 6A.M to 7.45A.M, school from 8.30A.M to 4P.M, test in school from 4P.M to 5P.M. From there she would go directly to Physics tuition at 5.30P.M and Chemistry tuition at 7P.M. She would return home at 8.45P.M, have dinner and study for the next day's tuition and school tests till midnight. She would again wake up at four in the morning. As a result her marks in the first terminal exam reduced to 80% from 90%. She might have done better if not for this tight schedule.
Also the use of cell phones and internet. Why do school going students need mobile? If they have to have some doubts cleared they can use the land line and if it is not available, their parent's cell. They need not have a mobile of their own. They will be tempted to SMS their friends. In some cases, they will be tempted to sneak it into school, just for the fun of it. The parents must see to that they do not misuse it. Also the use of internet must be controlled.
For implementing all this lots of self control is needed. If these methods are followed, we can excel in our studies, without our knowledge and without any extra coaching.
