My daughter is in 10th ICSE and giving her board exams. She wants to pursue Arts. She seems to be using it because it's easy. I would like her to pursue Science for 2 more years and keep her options open till 12th.What do you suggest?

Hello Sir/Madam,

What you seem to be doing is not wrong, I won't condemn it because this worked out for me. I wasn't so sure what I should take after my 10th Board exams. I was just good enough to take science, had no interest in Arts at that time and Commerce was never an option. So, I took Science because I knew that would keep my options open and I could lane if I wasn't comfortable. This is not so in the Arts stream because once you have opted for Arts, there's no turning back.

Later, after my 12th I realised I was interested in English and pursued my career in English hons (both BA and MA). I would say you are doing the right thing but not all the way. Talk to your daughter first, ask her what's the real deal and you probably would realise that she hates Science. Don't push her, because there is a fat chance that later, she might despise you for forcing her into taking Science. I know a lot of my friends who hate their parents because they forced them to take Science.

Talk to your daughter and come to a decision together, because at the end of the day, she has to study her chosen subject, not you.

Hope this helps
