@Shrinidhi: The same thing with tutions also. They take only brilliant students and then when those students pass out with good % they start publishing about their tuts in papers and stuff… I seriously hate those kind of people. They only tend to make money nothing else…!

Most of these so called top and popular schools are not adding much value to education system-They take already intelligent students and claim their success rate is high…

They can stake a claim only if they can take non performing students and ensure that they pass in first class…

@Binny
If the most responsible person is the kid himself. Then why do we need schools ? Why do we pay the teachers ? Why do we issue degrees ? The system has to provide a decent enough situation and should take a little bit of responsibility. Its not upto the individual totally.

If the society imposes restrictions then it must undertake the responsibility also.

The system is responsible. ”Mattuvin chattangale..allenkil swayamathukalee mattumee ningale than”..human beings will not change themselves. Father, teacher and all human beings.. Let the system do that job.

> Who is responsible for a students education?
You forgot the most important person – the kid himself/herself.

Well if you think broadly, the system of education in India is not that well. In India, education = mugging.
Yes! Students just mug, not for the sake of knowledge but for the sake of marks. Indian system of education mainly depends on making a student learn theoretically but not practically. This is where most of the students who are weak don’t tempt to get good grades.

The present system of education must change. This is the only answer that could be valid. We cannot blame anyone. Neither the school, the student nor the parents or anybody else…

There are schools which do provide mentorship, and i have seen that happening, but along with the school its the responsibility of the parent and the student himself to make sure that the learning process is smooth…but ofcourse the school cannot wash its hands off that responsibility…learning after all is a collective process…

An immediate comment:
In our current eduction system students learn how to answer quetsions and not how to question answers.
For private schools, education is a business and ’100%’ is a way to attract more customers. They produce, apolitical, socially inert snobs.
Govt. schools, in most cases, are breeding grounds for tomorrow’s anti-social. politically inflammable ‘leaders’(?!)
