Gandhiji and his thinking

In South Africa Gandhiji set up an ashram at phoenix, where he started a school for children. Gandhiji had an ideas about how children should be taught. it is like the examination system. In his school he wanted to teach the boys true knowledge, knowledge that would improve both their mind and their hearts.

Gandhiji had his own way of judging students. all the students in the class were asked the same question. But often Gandhiji pressed the boy with no marks and school did the one who had high marks.

This puzzled the children. 1 question on his unusual practice, Gandhiji oneday explained I am not trying to show the Sham is cleverer than RAM. So I don't give marks on that basis. I want to see how far is boy has progressed how much he has learnt. If a student competes with the stupid one and begins to think no and of themselves he is likely to grow done. Show off his own cleverness he will stop working. The boy who does his best and works hard will always do well and so I praise him.

Gandhiji kept close watch on the boys who did well. Were they still working hard? 

What would they learn everyday and high marks fill them with conceit? 

Gandhiji continuously stressed this to his students. If a boy who was not very clever work hard and did well, Gandhiji was Full of Praise for him.
