प्रश्न
The school system often curbs individual talents. Discuss.
उत्तर
A model answer has been provided for students' reference.

Thrust on taking exams rather than focussing on increasing the mental and intellectual aptitude of a student;
The irregular student-teacher ratio makes it impossible for the teachers to provide individual attention to each and every student.
One-to-one interaction with the kids have lessened these days.
Quantity matters more than quality.
