A mother of a 7-year-old girl questions the media exposure given to students who achieve top marks, the so-called 20 values (top grades). The listener expresses concern about the way these grades are highlighted in the media.
The mother observes that, even at the primary school level, she already feels there is competition among children. This race for the best grades seems to start at a very early age, generating pressure on students from an early age.
The question raised concerns the impact that this excessive value placed on grades can have on children's development and the way they view school and learning. The mother questions when this competition became established in primary schools.
