## Why Students Silently Drop Out of Coaching Batches
Students rarely drop out because the teacher's lecture was bad. They drop out because **they fall behind on homework for 2 consecutive weeks**, feel overwhelmed, and become too embarrassed to return to class.
By the time the monthly exam arrives and the student fails, it is too late to intervene.

## The 10-Point Daily Feedback Mechanism
Instead of binary pass/fail grading, DocentBase introduces the **10-Point Micro-Evaluation Metric**:
- **0–3 Points**: Critical backlog intervention required (Automated SMS to parent with topic checklist).
- **4–7 Points**: Satisfactory progress (Student receives positive reinforcement).
- **8–10 Points**: Mastery level (Eligible for monthly batch leaderboard recognition).
Teachers or teaching assistants can evaluate an entire batch of 60 students in under **90 seconds** on the Teacher Cockpit by selecting batch scores. Parents receive a weekly summary visual chart on the Student Portal.
