It’s that time of the year. Examinations and stress abound. It’s absolutely normal for students who are appearing for their boards. We may cherish it or detest it, but its a phase of our lives we must go through. One is never able to forget the day they appeared for the Board exams, anxiety coursing through their veins.
Students would be hearing two sentences now on: ‘how much marks did you get?’ And, ‘marks don’t matter’.
It is absurd to hear the second, as marks do matter – however only for a short span of time. Because these marks just measure how well the teachers have been able to teach us English, Science, or Maths. In school, they hardly try to cultivate our talents or foster our self-actualisation. We tend to give so much importance to these marks as if our life depends on it.
