We've transformed education into a numbers game, where grades are more important than minds and scores speak louder than abilities. Today's children are under continual pressure to perform rather than learn. We drive children to achieve good grades not for their own development, but to compete with others, particularly relatives, so that "no one can say anything." We calculate their worth in percentages and compare their report cards to awards. This concern with grades is destroying uniqueness, creativity, and confidence. It is not only unfair, but also dangerous. We are raising nervous children rather than empowered ones. We are shaping a future in which numbers replace values and comparison replaces growth. This fixation with grades has overshadowed education's true purpose: to foster knowledge, curiosity, creativity, and life skills.
Instead of encouraging youngsters to discover their own abilities and passions, we use numbers to determine their worth. This never-ending race not only produces mental stress, but it also diminishes a child's uniqueness, confidence, and love of learning. We are destroying the foundation of our future by turning education into a scoreboard. It's time to shift our emphasis from grades to real learning, competition to development, and judgment to encouragement. True success lies not in scoring higher than others, but in becoming confident, capable, and happy individuals.
