As March approaches, students of city schools adopt various means to deal with stress that precludes examinations. The kids are wary, even though city schools are conducting extra classes where they are educating the children about time management and stress counselling.

While some students deal with their problems at the school itself with the help of their teachers, others feel the need to visit psychiatrists or find time to make a trip to a café or a restaurant with friends in order to divert their minds from exam pressure.

Shaikh Mohammed Shehzad, a student of Class 12, Science,Xavier's Loyola School said, "Sometimes after completion of a few chapters, I do feel the pressure but the teachers in my school are always willing to help me. Our teachers attend to our problems or difficulties whenever we require any guidance."

Savio Prince, a class 10th student says, "I attend tuitions in order to cope with science and in order to prepare for my exams, I quit playing games. My teacher at school helps me whenever I require assistance in any subject."

Jayshree Joshi, principal, Swastik Sattva Vikas School said, "We have an intensive residential programme for the students of class 10th and 12th where students are put up in the school premises for three months starting December. Teachers guide the students round the clock in case of any doubts regarding a particular subject. We have a separate time table prepared for each individual student depending on their weaknesses in a subject and they are given work accordingly."

Sunil Trivedi, principal DPS School, says: "What happens here is that we are professional councillors, and our teachers have given talks on stress management and time management to the students of our school."

Biju Jose, a chemistry teacher at Loyola said, "We try to identify the weak students and personally council them. We also call the parents of these students and suggest solutions to individual problems."

Ranjeeta Gill, principal, secondary and higher secondary of HBK School said, "On Sunday I'm keeping a council session for the students of 10th and 12th. We will be helped by a dietician and yoga expert, councillor and students who have passed out to share their valuable views."  

Dr Prashant Bhimani, consulting psychologist said, “Usually they (children) should chill out by going out for coffee and interact with their friends, otherwise they are bound to sit at one place.

Besides this, they must also practice yoga, listen to music and visit a psychiatrist that teaches self hypnosis — a self relaxation process which they can do within a time span of 5-10 min."c
