even if the same school,the same textbook,the same teacher,etc.some children get more poor score than their classmates,and some of the poor-score children also study hard,Each parents have different reaction about their poor-score child.a fact could not but acknowledge is that not all of us be university student,people live all kinds of way of life,a child who get poor score is not sure to be a poor ability people after growing up.so,it is not a dizaster when your child get a poor score. so,how about you when you have a poor-score children?

Poor scoring can be because of several reasons such a) The child may not be paying attention in the class b) The teacher may not be explaining it in the way that my child understands c) My child has too many diversions to concentrate on studies d) possibility of attention deficit syndrome e) possibility of not being able to understand for reasons other than the teacher's failure. We must all remember that all children are not something that come out of a factory with their brains growing at uniform speed. They are learning and each has different experiences, with smaller memory capacity which may or may not be able to accommodate the information being fed. Even we cannot remember several things that we learnt so why expect the child to be superior to us just because somebody else's child is scoring better. If natural intelligence is there, it will surface at the right time and the child will make a grade. It is not necessary that everybody who scores well in school does well in future as well. It is just that at that point of time, their brain grew in that dimension. I would definitely not feel bad about it.

As long as the child follows the system, it does not bother me much when the child gets a lower than expected score. I have been exposed to a different education system, where the stress was on developing the self in a holistic manner. My batch was chosen not based on academic performance alone. This system managed to produce results way beyond general public expectations. The current system in my country is exam oriented. It does not suit everybody. I encourage my children to study well. If they fail to meet the mark after doing the best that they can, then there is no reason to be upset.

Students learn differently, and if they're taught in a way which doesn't suit their learning styles, they'd not get a good score. Parents fail to see this, and always label their children as "stupid". Getting a low score is an indication that a student needs help. Maybe he doesn't want to study but prefers to do something else which makes him happier. People have succeeded after dropping out of school, though not everyone falls into this category. So, if your children get a low score, you need to find out why and help them instead of reprimanding them.

I think what you have said is reasonable and scientific,children vary differently from each other,they need an education fit for him then they could get high score or good result.there are many high score and low ability children.
