It's almost a cliché that athletes are often taken advantage of due to a lack of basic skills. He is a wonderful human being, but he could also be a wonderfully educated one. There are World Champion boxers, like Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, who hold PhDs. Meanwhile, in India, 7- and 8-year-olds are dropping out of school to chase dreams as improbable as winning the lottery. How is that considered a good thing?
He is earning more than his school education or college education could have earned him hailing from middle class background. If he wins online games his dad said it helps them to participate in international games so he is no more relying on his parents for his expenses even 2 years before. You can check his fathers interview from past. Not everyone can follow this path he is a child prodigy. Very importantly His parents are very very smart and extremely wise people they have excellent foreseeing capabilities towards their child's abiities, ups and downs so they took bold decisions not at all emotional decisions and gukesh seems to be very responsible and matured boy beyond his age. Entire family is a blessing to one another. God bless them.
Its time we take a relook at formal education system where an average person even after toiling for 20 odd years is not able to get confidence to stand on his or her own feet.

@@MisterWalter864 it's fine anyway with democratization of education via TH-cam it doesn't matter if they change their ways or not.

I realized that it happened because i feared maths(as our teacher used to insult and hit us if we couldn't solve problems so maths became like an object of hate to me as a kid) and i used to just cram some questions and similar questions came in exam so i somehow passed but from 9th standard it was about understanding that i lacked as questions were different than textbooks so i had to start from ground up all by myself i remember seeing websites of maths fundamentals, doing things like basic algebra and what not(trust me i was so weak that i didn't know percentage,like terms in algebra as i used to just memorize before exams that divide by 100 but no one taught what it means, so i knew 'how' but not 'why' which is essential while applying concepts in unknown questions, and in my undergrad this one skill of trying to find out why was the single most important thing which i possessed and many lacked so they used to unnecessarily struggle) but i pushed myself to my limits(and 6 months later i was able to cover up pretty much 4-5 years of math education till that point by myself, ofcourse very concrete topics like parallelogram area, polygon and a few others i skipped which i felt were rare topics that i can afford to do later) and i was able to get second highest marks in finals(but it was so much pressure and dark time that i don't even want to remember it ) but from that experience i realized it was about independent thinking, coming up with ideas, brainstorming, failing and realising pitfalls, insights and intuition etc. and my worst subject that i hated became my favourite, i topped calculas, discrete maths ,graph theory, game theory in my college and also helped a friend to pass his supplementary exams(he btw had attitude like "anyway maths is useless for me so just teach me concepts so that i can pass" but he wasn't able to grasp it and failed again but in next sem he somehow passed by taking my advice to focus on fundamentals which he was lacking ) so according to me this beauty that reveals itself once a person tries to do the right thing by himself instead of believing in an authority is what education should be all about and the role of a teacher should be to just guide the curious mind, have patience to allow it to fail & motivate it to grow.
As a fan of Gukesh and Chessbase India, watching this is very very emotional. What a great conversation with Padma Ji. One can always wonder how these parents (including Pragg and others) can be so humble and down to earth. you can see how successfully they have instilled the same in their kids as well. Hope god gives them all the happiness they truly truly deserve. Sagar and Amrutha you both are amazing...❤
Read Rich Dad Poor Dad. @Zehra you are absolutely right...bht what plays out is Childrens social skills, relationship building could be bit impaired but worst of all children at school are the mos safest from predatory happenings.
I know why Gukesh is so humble to everyone, respect everybody, and so many good things just comes from his mother and his father.❤❤ I really want to meet gukesh yaar. 😊 So good to see his mother ❤❤❤❤
His parents clearly love him, but that doesn’t necessarily make this situation a good thing. Prioritizing something like becoming a World Chess Champion should not come at the expense of a proper education, especially when it means stopping at a third-grade level. While the United States has a strong focus on sports, even here, elementary school children are not allowed to abandon their education to pursue athletic or professional careers. There is nothing positive about this approach. Parents should never be placed in such a difficult position. When a society encourages this path, it creates an impossible dilemma for families. And what about the children who don’t achieve professional success? What kind of future will they have without a basic education to fall back on?
dude he just gave exams, of course he is educated it's not like he is illiterate lol, what she means is he never went to school to socialize and study with other kids instead he just went to give exams and studied by himself as he was going to his chess academy for training, playing tournaments outside India etc. This is not uncommon and many famous sports prodigies, pop prodigies etc. also tend to do it. Moreover there are a lot of positives, i went to school, what did i achieve except cramming paragraphs and formulas to pass in exams, wasting my time writing long assignments and learning nothing relevant to the current reality of world. I will give an example- I studied computer science in undergrad and most fundamental concepts were inductive thinking(strong recursion, iteration), concept of memory(memorization, hashmaps) etc. , when i was in 10th standard they were already teaching geometric, functions, trigonometric proofs, induction etc. so of course my mind was capable enough to grasp a concept like recursion but instead what they taught in my computer class was history of computer, made us memorize names and even code!(which again makes no sense and is bizzare, instead teach core ideas like if else, loops etc. using which people can pickup languages by themselves as only syntax changes not factoring in language's inherent capabilities like multi threading support etc.) so school education is pretty useless when it come to specialization, ofcourse the fundamental or basic education like maths & science education was fine but that too was full of remembering formulas, facts etc so yeah, even in non specialization formal education subjects at least 70% of time was wasted coz what they teach is in majority full of crap, so not attending regular classes(as long as u can pass in the exam) can save a lot of time especially if are doing something very specialized like chess.
@@apoorv219 "stop his studies and put him in chess full times" means he has no education besides chess. There are going to be countless other students who quit their education and end up not being professional athletes, what future will they have? Tell me other prodigies in sports or music who left school in 3rd grade?
@@MisterWalter864no bro don't pick up her words😅 that's not what she means, guki's school recently gifted him mercedes benz lol do you think he really dropped out of school? He also mentioned in an interview with sagar that he was easily able to pass 11th grade exams because of his extremely sharp memory (which again exposes nothing but efficiency of such exams lol), He went to vellamal school which is like a dummy school for chess players in tamil nadu, Chennai. pragg and vaishali also went to the same school, of course he is educated.
School education is wayyyy overated. I'm a highly qualified person and i dont care if my children dont follow my path. As long as whatever they do allows them to live, it is more than enough...
