Why do a student's grades define him in India?
I am a 15 year old boy and currently study in 10th ICSE. In my school examinations, I score poor marks in almost all subject except English, Hindi and Commercial Applications. My dad says that it would be okay if I only score 75% in my boards. But after looking at my poor marks, I dont think i can score that much also. This depresses me alot. What should I do?
