Is joining a coaching center necessary to Qualify an Exam?

"A coaching classes helps students to understand the subject deeply", replied a parent (a housewife, Mumbai) when the above mentioned question was asked. And the working couple replied, "We don't have much time to pay attention to our child's activities, so its better that we know he is at coaching center than worrying about him."

However, when the same was asked to a  tenth grade student the answer was, "I don't listen much in the classroom when I know the same thing would be taught again at the coaching class."

In reality, its a myth that students learn more when taught twice. It really may not be the case with majority of the students. They need to understand their capability and if the school/college teaching is not enough, then coaching classes could be a good idea. Listening to the repeated performance of the same lecture not only wastes double money out of the parents pockets, but it also wastes the student's time which could be used in other productive abilities for the betterment of the student

"I take crash course for the subject I am not good at.", answered a third year engineering student. And this idea is actually appreciated by most of the people. This approach is followed in most of the the competitive exams preparation. So, if its true for some exams, why not for every exam? The students should try to tackle the subject on their own and if the find difficulties, they can take a short duration class. This way, the students can know their positive and negative points. And along with that, they can save a lot of time (and money, ofcourse) by taking selected classes for selected duration. And the confidence which comes by knowing the subject by own instead of some classes is much more.

So guys, get up! Do what you like. Enjoy your hobbies. Don't listen to the things twice. Do them on your own. Your school/college teachers are always with you if you don't understand anything. And if not that (because many students like coaching classes teachers more), you can always ask friends! (or you can Google things up, which is what you always do for most of the other problems.)
