“RIGHT THINGS AT A RIGHT TIME WILL LEAD YOU TO WRITE YOUR JOURNEY OF SUCCESS.”

                Looking at the current battle about Skill vs. Score, it becomes very puzzling where to lead your child. And a key problem that we have is leaning towards one among these two. But it is very important to understand the significance of both and to nurture your child accordingly. 

Analyzing the fact, it is the base of academic knowledge which makes us aware of the various skills required in the different sectors. And, here academic knowledge becomes the prime objective. Apart from this, when it comes to certain examinations like JEE, NEET, UPSC, GPSC, and other Government exams, score definitely matters in the cut-throat competition among the youth of today’s world, which is also an entry card to the professional life which can not be ignored completely.

While looking at the other element, skill development also plays a vital role in one’s success. Starting from the planning to implementation, time management to data management, learning to leadership, stress management to soft skills, each skill will decide your future growth and sustainability anywhere. It is an essential duty of the teachers from the day one to involve the students equally in various skills too because it can’t be developed by reading a book and in a limited period of time; it takes time to understand, practice and to implement over the period of time.

             It is advisable to parents not to pressurize children from Play House to till 9^th Grade for scoring excellent marks in the academics, and should focus more on the development of practical skills in a child. It is okay if the child is getting good results instead of excellent and is more focused in other curricular activities. While, from Grade 10^th to 12^th it becomes very necessary to make them involve in study because these years act as an entry card for their future. In these years skill activities shouldn’t be stop completely but here the time management definitely plays a great role. As a parent, if you will just analyze these facts accurately, surely it will make you ‘Proud Parents’ in future.
