 People have been attaching labels to everything since time immemorial because it helps make sense of the world we live in. As such, labeling is often necessary and even serves as an effective way for people living in a society to connect with each other. However, though it’s okay to have a perception and label things or situations, what about doing the same to a young individual? What happens when we end up tagging children as “Good” or “Bad”? We, at Delhi Public School Sushant Lok, recognized among the best CBSE schools in Gurgaon, believe that unlike things or objects, our young individuals have the inherent ability to grow, develop, and change. Thus, narrowing down their talents and abilities in simply two boxes of “good” and “bad” is not only unfair to their potential but also leaves an indelible mark on their psyche for a lifetime. On that note, let us have a closer look today at the long-term repercussions of tagging children. The finality associated with labels is harmful t...

With the global boundaries rapidly shrinking in every sphere, the significance of international exposure among children can never be stressed enough. After all, the global issues, technological improvements, modern-world professional landscape, and lifestyle modifications immensely impact our lives today and will continue to do in the future. In such a scenario, sending your kids to a foreign land for their schooling might not always be a viable option, but it’s understandable if you want your child’s school to provide him/her with the necessary global exposure. At DPS Sushant Lok, we believe that when it comes to bringing that much-needed winning edge in our students, providing international exposure to them is of utmost importance. Let us further elucidate this fact by outlining the factors that have led us to believe in the significance of international exposure for our young geniuses. Bringing the much-needed diversity in the learning experience There is no denying that the system ...

 There’s no denying that the assessment of the academic performance of students is at the heart of education. The test scores are used to gauge the learners’ fortes and weaknesses, and their scores certainly play an important role in the next phase of their academic lives. But this leads to a very crucial question that comes up time and again in the world of modern education: Is academic performance the sole yardstick to measure student capabilities? Should academic performance be the only thing to focus on in ensuring the success and development of children? As one of the  top schools in Gurgaon , we, at DPS Sushant Lok, believe that academic performance is too narrow a measure to be able to solely judge the students’ abilities or skills. Besides, if we take the answer to that first question as yes, we will also have to agree to the next one. And agreeing to that would mean teaching children with the sole purpose of raising their scores, which would simply imply taking away t...

  “Oh, she isn’t particularly bright” or maybe “he is a bit on the duller side”: All of you would agree that such negative labels are really bad for kids, and we should thus refrain from using them. But, what about calling them ‘smart’ or ‘gifted’? Are you sure calling your kids smart each time they do something right is really doing them any good? People naturally assume that there can be no harm done in the use of terms like that. But we, at DPS Sushant Lok, have a different point of view in this context. At DPSSL, positioned among the  Top Schools in Gurgaon , we have had the chance to take a closer look at the impact of such labels on the students, and it has made us come to a few definitive conclusions. The thing about using labels for kids, be it ‘smart’ or otherwise, is that they start believing in the tag a bit too much. Ms Veena Sangar, our esteemed principal, opines that when we begin labelling kids from a young age, they start thinking about themselves as nothing mo...
