The academic burden on the upcoming generation is the topic of debate these days. It's not uncommon to see
children
 attending extra classes after school or on weekends. In my ,opinion
this
 curriculum load is taking a toll on the mental and physical health of school kids and education at schools is enough to prepare them for the future. In
this
 essay, I will discuss the reasons for
this
 latest trend in society and what are the consequences of
this
 extra burden. Parents want their kids to succeed in the future and in pursuing so they ,sometimes unintendedly, put their
children
 through hard routes. In urban areas specifically, it is common for parents to send their kids to extra classes.
This
 happens because the success of a child is measured in marks obtained, as admissions for higher studies largely depends upon the score in school. In some of the cities in India, students start preparing for entrance exams from the sixth standard itself.
This
 added pressure stunts the overall development of a child. It's scientifically proven that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Sports and extracurricular activities help
children
 to develop emotional, social and leadership skills that are crucial for a successful career. Organisations too prefer candidates who demonstrate an all-around personality. To conclude, a society can only thrive if it produces healthy individuals. The latest trend adopted by parents to put their
children
 through extreme academic rigour can cause damage in long term.
