Degrading Grades

Ranks,merits and grades are an intimate tool of the Education system in India.While evaluation of one's capacities is indispensable,the methods employed do more bad than good.

 1)Emotional Dependency:-

              By prizes,honors and disgraces the self esteem of the student becomes a toy in the hands of teachers,parents and everyone except himself.When a student doesnt perform in any examination, he gets a tag of "dumb" or "stupid" and his confidence dives.This low self esteem is to be held responsible for majority of the students suicides that we see today in our society.

2)Intellectual Dependency:-

               Parents often tell their children to seek counsel from rankers.The ones who are perceived to be more "intelligent" then them.They must wait for people better trained than them to make meaning of their lives.As a result they lose their ability to discover things for themselves. 

3)Fear of Failure:-

                  Criticism of failure incites within us a fear of failure.As a result we are afraid to experiment and always prefer to go with the masses.Each and every advancement,be it technological or social,is derived from experimentation and learning from mistakes.

 

By allowing this system to take control of our lives we are preventing our students to flourish fully and and hindering their progress and that of our nation.

Conspiracy called "Education"

Have you ever wondered why the Lectures are so boring??Or why we hate studying??

As children we are inquisitive from birth.Always asking questions and seeking answers.But as we grow old the quest for knowledge wears out and the energy within us extinguishes.The Colleges, schools and teachers hardly care about that and simply impose it upon us.

We as students want to know about everything around us but the educational institutions never care to ask if we want to know what they have to offer.And when we find that whatever we are taught is irrelevant to the world around us our mind loses its luster and everything begins to become boring.

One of the greatest folly of the system is that it assumes everybody to think about the same thing at the same time.Every human being is different and may want to learn different things at different times.Learning cannot take place at the convenience of the institution.

By preempting 50% of our total time,locking us in the classrooms,by grading us just as we grade vegetables, the colleges and schools steal our vitality and replace it with ugly mechanism intended to prevent free thinkers and produce slaves.

This system was purposefully designed to thwart the energy and restrict our thinking.When the british imposed the education system in India they did it with a clear purpose of churning out slaves.But unfortunately even after 63 years of independence our education ministers have been unable to bring necessary reforms in it.Unless we realize this and revolt ,this system will continue to govern our lives and block our prospects to live life fully.
