Ability and marks: understand the difference between the two

Recognize real ability, not marks

- 

The issue of children's education has always been an important aspect of society.

Both parents and teachers are concerned about the success of children, but sometimes this concern takes the form of pressure. This pressure, especially in the case of marks or grades, can have a profound impact on the mental health of children. In this article, we will try to get to the root of the issue and how it is important to understand and accept the differ-ence between marks and the actual definition of ability.

Marks vs. Ability: A Basic Difference

Often parents expect their children to score ex-cellent marks in every subject. They believe that good marks are a guarantee of a good fu-ture. But the truth is that marks are only proof of a per-son's bookish knowledge, not his real ability. For example, a child who is interested in art, music, sports, or technical skills may not score as well in math or science, but that does not mean he is less capable. Ability does not mean only bookish knowledge, but the ability to solve problems in life, the passion to learn new things, and the ability to adapt to circumstances.
