Online examinations are easy to clear, you can score well in them; this is the most common sentence we say to students. But we forget the pressure of online classes they are going through. They have to deal with the screen all day. And sometimes they are not even able to clear their doubts. Even before online classes, they used to go through a lot of stress and tension of scoring in their exams and doing better. Rather than understanding their mental state we focus on the competition and pressurize them to do better than everyone, especially in finals. Not just about studies, we give them stress about their future which is way far like their college and their jobs.

Parents usually play a significant role in the character and personality building of their children. Their child should be comfortable sharing his fears, stress, and weaknesses with them without any hesitation. But some parents expect more from their children, which unintentionally creates a burden on their shoulders. In a study of 190 students from grades 11 and 12 in Kolkata by researchgate.in , two-thirds of students stated that they experience academic stress and pressure from their parents for better performance. They start keeping secrets and take unbearable pressure which usually leads to low scores. Parents should make their child understand the tough competition and suggest ways to deal with it with his speed. The child should be assured that running slow does not make him a loser. He can catch the speed one day by practicing and it is okay to be like this.

Teachers are the ones to show us the way and teach us the method to walk on that way. The teaching profession is one of the most crucial professions in the industry. Teachers should be patient with the student. Any harsh move can not only affect his student’s scores but also their mental health. He should make them aware that there is a world of knowledge beyond books which can be acquired only by experience. Failures should be normalized by them, but the motivation to achieve goals should be constant. As Bill Gates said, “Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.”

In situations, parents and teachers should walk hand in hand to help their child in choosing the correct path and walking over it. Career counseling by both of them can show major changes in a child’s mental development. They can coordinate together to free him from burden and study at ease, as parents are well aware of their child’s traits and interests, and teachers know their capabilities.

They should be taught out of the book, about the society and complications they will face in the real world. Alone books cannot build their career but their mindset and determination play an equally important role.
