why scrap what produced world acclaimed intellectualsBy: Neelmani Bhatia | Friday , 6 Nov '09 20:59:53 PM Reply | Forward indians are doing well cause they have intellect and good education. it was hard work put in which showed such good results. by scarpping the 10th board exams we are going to set back our competition edge
what bout expBy: abhishek | Monday , 26 Oct '09 16:12:12 PM Reply | Forward its not the academic pressure but the parental pressure that makes the whole class 10 exp a miserable one. but scrapping boards is no sol.. when a student gives a class 12 boards the torment of pressure that s/he undergoes is heart throbbing. so by scraping the 10 boards ur not lessening the pressure but just handicapping them a leaving them with no similar exp in that cut throat world outside

creativity in educationBy: madhvi sekhri | Friday , 16 Oct '09 18:02:52 PM Reply | Forward yes i guess its a good plan to be worked over...scraping of tenth board examinations would certainly prove an afresh in today's education system or we can say the very first step in re framing the education system.education system now won't be confined to marks and stress but would enhance the mental abilities in the students
Exams Evaluation systemBy: Adarsh Sharma | Thursday , 15 Oct '09 9:24:38 AM Reply | Forward Nice evaluation system taken by Kapil Sibal it is help to remove stress of students.
TAGS US FOR LIFEBy: Rishi Ashish Khatri | Wednesday , 7 Oct '09 20:23:54 PM Reply | Forward According to me the 10th boards should be abolished in both ICSC and CBSE board because this promotes tag system.Tag system means that a child is tagged for the rest of the life with the board results.In case if a child is not well and is not able to do well in the boards due to any mental or physical trauma he/she gets tagged for the rest of the life as average student even if he is capable of scoring excellent marks.It doesn't show the exact aptitude of the child and sometimes doesn't let him/her to take admission in the college of his/her own choice.Hence, I feel that boards for 10th should be abolished.
thats riteBy: madhvi sekhri | Friday , 16 Oct '09 18:42:46 PM Reply | Forward yes....i also strongly feel the same...
if so than remove 12th boards too...By: akanksha chauhan | Thursday , 24 Sep '09 0:11:23 AM Reply | Forward according to me..its going to be a big mistake of removing 10th boards from the education system as 10th board examination not only brings out the knowledge and calibre of the student but also prepare him mentally for 12th boards.if 10th board is being removed because of the stress the child has to suffer from,than 12th boards should also be removed from the education system.if such things are going to continue than their will be a time when there will b no examinations in the country,not even for primary standards thinking about their stress due to exams.
Confused Mr. Kapil SIbal??:-SBy: Angad Singh Wadhwa | Wednesday , 21 Oct '09 22:05:21 PM Reply | Forward How ironic... On one hand he reduces the pressure on students, and on the other, increases it for engineering students preparing for IITJEE....Is he Confused or what???!?
exams-a yardstick to measure knowledge!!By: garima gayatri | Wednesday , 23 Sep '09 15:13:46 PM Reply | Forward i firmly believe that board exams should not be cancelled..examinations create a certain pressure which urges us to prove the best of our potential..accepting it as a challenge will definitely boost our knowledge and calibre.and,if someone even fails in 1 or 2 subjects,it doesn't mean he's nt worth promoting to a higher grade but exams should be held to give them reminders of improvement!!
Moving AheadBy: Rasika Islam | Tuesday , 22 Sep '09 20:16:27 PM Reply | Forward The abolition of the board examination is truly a giant leap towards the new world.Board examinations are an outdated method of judjing a students worth beside they encourage rote learning and lay to much premium on mechanical memmory .Boards have become more speculative in nature there is too much of a chance element in them.....they have become something like a hit or miss game............ Anyways hats of to Mr.kapil Sibal the man of the hour,but sir ,what about ICSE and the other boards we feel left out and neglected .I am 15 and a student of the ICSE board and will be appearing for my boards this year its too late for me but i sincerely hope that my juniors will not have to go through this traumatic examination............
