5 keys to not fail in any examination

1. Make a time table and stick to it. Our body releases necessary enzymes in set times to perform different tasks. You will perform better in set hours.
2. Do not bunk classes. Attend every lecture. Even if the professor not interests you, then to be in class. How much boring a professor is but he / she always has mastery in certain topics. Wait for the D-day.
3. Make notes in the classroom. Two reasons; 1. you will have important points handy, 2. when you write it leaves an impression in your mind. You are tend to remember better. Also when you have notes you can help a friend next day who was absent in class.
4. Rewrite. You have short notes made from the classrooms. Rewrite a fresh copy in detail. You will remember better.
5. Revise. We are tend to forget. That is human nature. Revise as often as you can.

How many hours to study for success

The big question every school student faces is how many hours he /she should study for success.
This is also worry point for many parents and educators.
I have seen parents pushing children to study more more and more. But how much is too much???
There is no quick fix formula, how much one should study depends on many things. Studying for more hours never applies directly for acquiring good grades.
You study to score better but how much?
Let's do a simple math here.
1. 1 day equal 24 hours.
2. 1 school day equal 8 hours.
3. Traveling to school equal 2 hours.
4. Time for a good night sleep equal 7 hours an average.
5. Time for sports equal 2 hours.
6. Time for other activities equal 1 hours.
7. Sum total of point 2 to 6 equal 20 hours.
8. Hours, remain in a day equal 4 hours.

No. Of hours may vary depending on for example may be distance traveled to school.
An average a student has 4 - 5 hours in hand.
So in my opinion a student should study 4 to 5 hours a day.
Success depends on how much you learn from studies and not on how much you remember.

Why hawkers are not restricted from nearby schools

Is eating healthy not part of school curriculum

Kids are national asset.
Do we leave our personal assets on open streets? No!
Then how come we can leave our national asset unguarded; if we do, that's cruel.
See any school building in India, outside its gates you will found hawkers selling food items.
I have nothing against hawkers, they are (perhaps) poor people and make both ends meet by selling eatables to hungry kids. But but wait a moment, Kids are national asset, hawkers are menace. So what we need to protect truly, national asset or menace?
Certainly our answer will be previous one. And if that is the case we need to protect our kids from bad food. Whether hawkers earn or not by selling eatables but certainly we loss huge sum owing to bad health of our kids.
Food sold on open streets is not a thing to eat. But our kids eat the same food everyday. What about their well being? How can we expect our kids to be champions when we cannot teach them good eating habits.
Kids are kids you cannot restrict them. But hawkers are grown up, they must be deflected away from nearby school premises. We cannot let our kids eat a food full of flies.

Kids need food too

After a six to eight hour of school any kids stomach will want food. They will eat whatever they will get. Some schools may have canteen but those eateries are also in pathetic conditions. The conditions of eateries must need to be improved. In addition, outside schools government require to set op Kiosks selling healthy foods. This way on one hand some people will get organized work while our kids will get something good to eat when in hunger.

Health is Wealth is not only good in books, its good on real grounds too. Let's take the first step in nation building. Let's teach them to eat healthy, play heartily and be a winner.
