No one can deny that we live in a country obsessed with marks, grades, and board percentage. This obsession has reached such a shocking state that many kids tend to end their own life under pressure.
In the era, where suicide rate among school kids is increasing at a rampant rate, this pre-school reveals the ugly reality of our competitive society.
According to a viral tweet, Priya Bharti High School, a school in Hyderabad has put up a billboard of toppers in the nursery, LKG, and UKG.
The billboard had topper’s list for students across the nursery, LKG, and UKG, along with the pictures. It captured 10 students under the nursery topper’s list, 14 under the lower KG list and 11 names under the UKG list.
Nursery toppers…! ????♂️

After looking at these innocent faces, one couldn’t run away from the sad reality of our Indian Education System.
It is so saddening to see that during the pre-school days, when the school needs to encourage learning new things, this particular school is training kids to enter the rat-race.

Killing childhood

Just reducing the little Children to Rats. Preparing for the race where they will fail miserably in life. Taking away their childhood by such displays. It affects the psyche of parents which will be passed on to kids.

With so much focus on marks and grades, we are making our kids scared of failures. So much so that when they face failure in life, they lose hope and self-respect. No wonder many young kids succumb to the pressure of performance and land up taking their own life.
It is high time our society & education system understand that our kids are just more than ranks and numbers. They are ‘humans’ with their own desires, dreams, aspirations, and potential.
