When it comes to evaluating academic performance, the line between objective metrics and subjective perceptions can often blur, leading to a significant gap between perceived and actual achievement. 📊   Despite parents reporting satisfaction with their children's school achievements, many of these students performed at lower levels in math, language, and science when compared to global standards (TIMSS, 2019). Parents often equate high grades with strong academic understanding, but this perception can be misleading. Several factors contribute to this misjudgment:   📝 Exam Coaching and Training: In many educational systems, students are trained to excel in exams rather than to truly understand the material. This coaching focuses on teaching students how to answer specific types of questions, which can result in high grades without genuine comprehension. 📈 Grade Inflation: Over time, some schools may experience grade inflation, where the average grades increase without a corresponding rise in actual knowledge or skills. This phenomenon can give parents a false sense of their child's academic level, leading them to believe their children are performing better than they actually are. 📚 Curriculum Variability: The difficulty and comprehensiveness of curricula can vary widely between schools and regions. A student who excels in a less rigorous program might struggle in a more challenging one, making direct comparisons difficult. Parents might not be aware of these variations, leading them to overestimate their child's academic standing. 🌍 Global Standards: When comparing students' achievements to global benchmarks, such as those set by TIMSS, the discrepancy becomes even more evident. Although parents can express satisfaction with their children's performance, many students fall short of their international peers. This underscores a significant gap between perceived and actual academic performance. While parents play a crucial role in supporting their children's education, relying solely on grades as a measure of success can be misleading. Grading systems have their limitations, so it's important to seek expert advice to understand where a child truly stands academically. This helps parents support their children's real progress and prepare them better for success on a global scale. 🌟 #education #tutoring #schools #teaching #edtech #MENA #AlGooru

It's probably been a few years since you last sat in a school chair, but we'd like to pick your brain on the below 🧠 An interesting comparison that often arises when discussing private tutoring is "Schools vs Private Tutoring." It seems as though these two are in a battle for a world that can only accommodate one, but not the other. Some even go as far as questioning the necessity of traditional schooling if supplementary educational support is needed. ⚖️ As a former student (and perhaps a current parent), what do you think about this comparison? Do you believe private tutoring threatens traditional schooling, or do you see them as complementary forces working toward a common goal? 🤝 #education #tutoring #schools #teaching #edtech #AlGooru
