No, I'm not talking about myself (I have gone through with this for couple of decades now) but about my two children. Though I'm not the one who took the exams but I think I'm more relief than my 2 children. Well you see my dilemma had started last week, when I prepared reviewer test for the 8 subjects of my 2 children. This simple activity was made harder since some of the teachers gave only the chapters or pages of the book that you should study. Then after making the reviewers, you have to make them study amidst their plea for television and games consoles from evening til early morning before going to school.
After doing this for 4 consecutive days, I'm just glad that it's finally over. I could now sit and relax and enjoy the rest of the week.

I feel like, now a days the syllabus for school children are more and tough the same time. Also parents also should learn everything along with their children to teach the lessons for them. Yes, of course it is big relief for you !!!

Childrens studies are now in parents hand. Mostly the mother plays important role in education of the children. Simply mother is the second teacher for themselves. Mothers also learning something from the child's education. So now a days mother should be educated before to teach her childrens. Mothers also under pressure when their childrens are gone to take exams. I had seen some mothers doing pujas in temples for their 10th standard childrens as they want to get good marks in public exams.

Oh, you have done a good job. I know how you feel now, when the exams week is finally over. Even sounds like you feel more relieved than the children are feeling. And, I am sure they have done well, and you will be very happy with the results !

I think the end of exam weeks are a relieve for all. Parents, children, and teachers a like. Well actually the time of the relief for the teachers does not come until much later. Until they have a chance to really mark the exam up and really get that out of the way. Still there is a great deal of relief that comes for the end of the exam. The build up is killer, as everyone is worrying about how they did, how they'll survive, do they know enough?
After its over, we can all just take a deep breath. It is over. Until the next time that is. But we can at least take a breath or two. It is something that is a relief to all parties and very stressful. Yet it is one of those things where the anticipation is really gong to be building up in your mind but the actual event really is not all that bad. Granted its not the easiest thing in the world but you could have worst fates in the end.
