Can Coaching Centers Replace Classroom Teachings?

Now before I proceed debating on the topic, Can coaching centers replace classroom teaching, I must confess that I was deeply intrigued when I started the process of thought flow on this very debatable question that arises in the minds of innumerable students.

Although I have mixed reactions to this question but the part of my intellect in favour of Coaching centers scores over the one against it. Admittedly, its school and not the coaching center that forms the crux of the primary identity of a student. But nevertheless in this fiercely competitive world of cut throat competition it is coaching and its various manifestations that prove pivotal in enabling success that would have been unimaginable otherwise.

Core of the class room teaching comprises of classroom teachers and course books, which suffice for us in the early period of our education, however, as the level rises and pressure to perform builds up a student looks out for more grueling and competition oriented help and guidance. It is at this point that coaching centers step in with a dedicated team of teachers and a practice oriented & exhaustive study material.

Now, in order to gain advantage over other students, it is coaching centers one heads to, no surprise some coaching centres have more competition than the actual exam for which they prepare. The reason for this phenomenal success of various coaching can be attributed to their result oriented and adaptive teaching methodologies which are often found missing in the classroom education system. Moreover to make things worse the study material provided in schools though consisting of basics lacks the details and practice material an average student desires in order to get a grasp of things. No wonder large volumes of students are migrating to the coaching centers in a search for respite, and thankfully they seldom disappoint.

I will not be shocked one bit if majority of students including those who disagree with the importance of a good coaching center have themselves subscribed to some coaching or the other, after all we have to change with changing time and its needs, and the fact is that though every student has a school to boast of, it is the study undertaken at a coaching center that a student perceives with utmost sincerity. Whether or not the homework of school is finished, the coaching work has higher priority. And the reason why students have prioritized coaching over school, is because of the simple fact, COACHING DELIVER WHEN NEEDED.

Results speak for themselves and if there was an honest student pole, there is no doubt in my mind, that high majority of students who have had the experience of both systems, coaching and classroom, will be tilted in my favor, that indeed coaching centers can replace classroom study seamlessly.

Now a point that those disagreeing with this concept strongly put forward is that coaching centers have made students dependent and they do as they are asked to do by the coaching. The reply to this question summaries and concludes my post, If unquestioning faith that our detractors call dependence is the price we are asked for in return for success and glory in our respective fields of study, DO WE MIND ?

I hope i have been able to bring forth the facts that we all know but tend to ignore.
