(80-85) Read the following passage.
Each family these days has fewer children than before. And all of us, parents and teachers, want our children to be better than us. Academic studies have become the focus of life for a child. All parents feel that their child should perform well, get good grades to ensure a brilliant future. All other matters are of secondary importance.Teachers put pressure on the child when the child tails to perform well. Parents blame the teachers for the poor grades of their words. The child is at the receiving end from both sides, and starts showing behavior problems. Matters seem to go downhill on all fronts.Research has revealed that all children do not learn at the same place or by the same method. Some are quick on the up take but bad at reproducing on paper. Some seem to learn tast and forget equally quickly. Others seem to have a mental block that prevents them from learning. Unfortunately our education system tries to equalize all of them. This results in some children getting left behind much to the anguish of parents and the irritation of teachers.
