Abstract
Assessment has become an integral part of the present school system right from Pre-KG. As a
mother of 3-year old twins, who have had to undergo assessment from the very first month of
joining school, I am unwillingly forced to pressurise my kids in an endeavour to prove their mettle.
Comparisons and constant suggestions from teachers for improvement drive parents towards
putting pressure on their kids even when they do not intend to do so. I have friends who sent
their kids to extra classes after school to hone their skills in storytelling, drawing etc., which I felt
was completely unwarranted at such a young age. We actually end up curbing their curiosity and
innocence because of this undue stress and burden.
