How far would you go to help your child pass an exam?

Most parents would do all they can to help their kids improve their exam grades, but would you go as far as scaling a fence to hand your child a cheat sheet? well strange as it may sound that seem to have been the case in an exam centre in Saran in Chhapra district in India.

Most pupils face tremendous pressure during their 10th and 12th grades exam in India because they must pass the exams to be able to continue with their education and in a desperate move to ensure the continuity of their kids education , some parents and guardians were caught on camera scaling school fence and walls to hand over cheat sheets to their kids, although around 600 school students have been suspended for this act.

Well I really don't blame them, you know what they say 'desperate times call for desperate measures'.

I believe these parents are doing this because of high level of failure of this exam and in my opinion, this case should not be treated in isolation by just punishing those caught cheating.

There must be an underlying reason why these kids are not confident they can pass and so have to rely on external help. The exam body should investigate and find ways to help these kids move forward without having to rely on cheating.
