Que 1. What kind of prizes do students get?
Apart from topping the exams there are also prizes for competitions like debate, quiz, science fair, dance, and sports competitions.
Que 2. Should students get the same prize in sports and academics?
No, they shouldn’t because sport and academics are 2 different aspects.

People should be awarded to motivate them to do more and also to show recognition of their effort at something.

Awarded are good for winners to motivate them as I said earlier but some people have superiority complex which makes them feel they are better than others but keep forgetting that the sky is wide enough for everyone to fly and that those they think are better than can certainly do better if they will to do it.

Que 1. What bad behaviour do children usually have ?
The bad behavior associated with children are creating noise, breaking things, disrespecting elders, scribbling on the walls and stealing small things like pencils, erasers and bullying other children. Some even cry for unnecessary reasons.
Que 2. How should parents stop their children from behaving badly in public?
I think parents should stop their children from doing bad things at home. It is said that charity begins at home. I think parents should not just stop children from doing something bad but also tell them why it is bad to do it. And teach them the right way to behave.
Que 3. Are parents these days stricter than in the past?
On the contrary, I think parents are more lenient these days. It is mainly due to two reasons, first being the strict laws against physical punishment and the second reason is the influence of western culture.
Que 4. Whose influence on children is more? Parents or their Friends?
I think in the early years, the parents’ influence is second to none, as children spend the majority of their time with their parents. But as children grow older, they spend considerably more time with their friends, and I think during these years, it is their friends that influence their behavior and thinking the most.
