Question

The syllabus is too vast,isn't it?And its no use of reading 8 or 9 subjects and then choosing just a few in intemidiate.[for instance]What are we going to gain reading about different landforms in geography?Are we going to check the different landforms and weather throughout the world in future.When your ambition is something else?

Answer 1

THE BURDEN IS ONLY BOARD EXAMINATIONS THOUGH THESE ARE NOT TO TOUGH BUT THE TEACHERS AND PARENTS ALWAYS USE TO SAY THIS TIME IS YOUR BOARD. THAT SENTENCE PUT BURDEN ON THE STUDENTS.

Answer 2

I don't think so. Studies are not a burden to students, they are a learning, no doubt you do nothing with landforms and weather around the world, but becuase of that little info given in the books, atleast u are aware that there is something called geography or what ever. Studies are just a foundation of certain things that one intend to know or one should know about. So, never take studies as a burden, these days many concept schools also have come upon, where studies are more of practical teaching than being oral. I can only conclude saying that how u take things to be, don't become so very serious about studies, and at the same time dont let it go lose, one need to manage between things, and that is what is exactly required. Studies can never ever be a burden !!!

Studies, particularly homework, are a burden, in one sense of the word, as they can often interfere with other aspects of student life. I am a high school student and personally, I'm disinclined to do homework that does not fulfill its function (though I don't mind -- and sometimes even like -- things that engage me, i.e. essays on an interesting topic). I think homework is meant to reinforce a concept and challenge a student to think, but oftentimes the homework that I receive is repetitive, boring, and generally useless to me.

It can also take time away from more interesting leisure activities, however, I do complete my homework in order to maintain my grades. For students with part-time jobs, familial commitments, etc., homework can pose an even greater difficulty, as they might not have the time to do it. In my experience, though, most students simply prefer spending time doing something entertaining (watching TV, chatting with friends, playing videogames, shopping, etc.) to writing essays, solving math problems, researching events, etc.

As to compulsory subjects, the purpose is, more often than not, to give students a chance to explore their options and gain a sense of their interests, because often they don't know what direction they want to take in future, and it's a difficult choice to make when you're thirteen or fourteen and going into high school. Neither students nor government officials have enough foresight to say what you'll need to know and what you won't need to know to be successful in future. Perhaps, I wouldn't have known that I liked history, if I hadn't taken it, or that I didn't like geography. Furthermore, general knowledge and awarenes is very important in our ever-changing society, and mandatory subjects lend themselves to that. Some students would never learn anything outside their subjects of interest, if they didn't take compulsory courses, and they would, as a result, remain completely oblivious to literature, geography, history, etc., which can come in handy, even in other subjects (or on Jeopardy xD). For example, if I didn't have to take science, then I might not be as well-versed in Darwin's Theory of Evolution as I am, and my performance in my History class might be compromised.

Taking mandatory subjects can be a burden; I personally hated Geography and I didn't do very well in it, because I wasn't that interested. Moreover, I know that I'll probably never use some things (like algebra) again after I finish my math course(s), but there is another side and it offers strong, logical support to the burden of compulsory courses.

I am, by the way, Canadian and I've had a lot of choice in terms of course selection, especially in grades eleven and twelve. I don't know how it might differ in other countries, but suffice it to say that the arguments are not that different elsewhere in the world, though it's more difficult to justify having mandatory courses throughout high school.

Answer 4

anything thats forced up is a burder. like a bag of goods is a burden for donkey.. sameway when studies are forced on students they are burden.

but after all they will be beficial for them, if the donkey doesnt carry the burder then who will feed him, of course his master wont. so when the child takes the burder to study life will feed him.

not a serious topic to discuss its just generally dont put your mind much in this

Answer 5

studies are not burden for any student who enjoys school etc

but the books really became burden as to take loads of books to the school with the small hands

Answer 6

yes.compared to other countries India provides higher studies at small level.at the age of 3 itself children are sent to schools and they are brought under pressure.and as they grow up they will be under tremendous compaction.in addition to this are the co-curricular activities.but these are equally important,so a small request is to reduce the syllabus of students and provide some free time to students.

Answer 7

It is a matter of prioritzing academic activities over extra -curricular ones. It is quite a burden when these two do not exist in consonance with each other.

Answer 8

I don't think it's burden i just think it's too much if added with extracirricular's like sororities, clubs, sports, theater, etc. STudents just need to learn their limits and only take on the amt that won't be a burden! :)

Answer 9

HI MY FRIEND it is burden for me i think so it is burden for you also.
