Beyond Marks : What a Classroom Taught Me About Life, People & Learning.
Overview
What does a school really teach you?
Not the syllabus. Not the exam results. The real
stuff - the moments that never make it into any report.
Beyond Marks is a collection of true stories
from real classrooms, told by Shailendra Porwal -
Principal of Vidyashram Public School, Kota-who spent
years observing, listening, and learning what education
is truly made of.
These are stories about:
- A quiet child in Class 7 whose hidden talent nobody
had noticed - until one conversation changed everything - A teacher who broke down in the principal's office
after eleven years of giving everything - An angry parent who came to fight - and left with
something he didn't expect - Thirty-one children who "failed" an exam that was
never fair to begin with - The children of Kota, India's coaching capital -
who carry far more than their schoolbags - A principal who got it wrong, admitted it out loud,
and learned what real leadership costs - This is not a book about how to get better marks.
This is a book about what schools are really for.
Written in warm, conversational English for anyone
who has ever been a student, a parent, or a teacher -
Beyond Marks is an honest, deeply human look at
the moments that shape who we become, long after the
last exam is over.
"Your marks are one chapter. Not the whole book."
