"Today education has become business." This is one
of the most common quotes that I keep consistently hearing from most of the
parents. They are bowled over by the amount that gets spent on their children's
education. They don't even have an option of not doing it. If they don't spend,
the children don't get the required education. Peer pressure has made students
demand more out of their parents and, unfortunately, parents are made to yield
for the same. While we accept that the normal school education is essential
from an authorized body, what about those tutorials which re-teach the same
lessons? How are students fighting the tuition fever? Let's discuss more on
this.
I have been to tuitions for my under-graduation. Until my
tenth grade I used to find that tuition was just waste of time. Post my
under-graduation I felt the same as well. But it had become quite crucial for
me during the under-graduation time. As I observe the present generation
juggling between too many classes it just makes me wonder if they are opting
the right decisions. What is tuition? It's a place similar to a class
atmosphere where one goes to learn his subjects. Who goes to tutorials?
Students who are unable to cope up with the classroom education provided at
school/college go to tuitions. This was the earlier definition. Today, students
go to tutorials because there are no good and capable teachers available in
school/college because the good ones have opened tutorials rather than working
for a meagre monthly salary in institutions. With more and more tutorials
opening people's mindsets also have got tuned towards tuitions, both that of
parents and students (needless to say). Education is not about marks until you
enter your competitive exams. It's about understanding the world around.
Textbooks have been comprehensively prepared to make sure that students are
able understand in the simplest manner. All it takes is good amount of patience
and hard work to invest time on reading them. Since students are unable to
input these two voluntarily a force is required to enforce the same. That is
where tuitions have come into picture and the students have caught the tuition
fever.
Today's generation plays with smartphones in its primary
standards. In fact, there is no tuition to teach how to use a smartphone. Still
kids are able to do it because of the curiosity. It means that kids are able to
understand the automated guiding machines like phones, comprehend the
instructions and use them. The same needs to be applied to text books. This
requires commitment towards studies by the student. He must be ready to read
until he understands and practise until he remembers. If the student is able to
do this then there is no requirement of tuitions. Time investment coupled with
serious commitment is the perfect medication for the tuitions fever which is
affecting not the just the child but the parents too.
