Modern Education System - The latest social evil

Today, the education system of our schools are radically changing. We have seen a

lot of changes from beating the students until they bleed to forbidding the use of cane.
It is true that there had been a lot of improvements from the earlier system, now-a-days.

But is the changes good enough? Are we sufficient with the system now?
Do we not need to improve any more? IS TODAY'S SYSTEM PERFECT??
Unfortunately We the students say "NO". So will the teachers had they been given the permission.
Today's system has really improved but we are still a long way from creating perfect schools.

Why? Because of a number of faults I would like to highlight below.

1) Examinations are not at all a way of finding out who is better and who is not. Just because
someone has a lot of marks, it doesn't necessarily mean he is better. If you are asking for proof,
I have it. Well, we give out reservations in our country don't we? It means that even though
if one score less marks, if he\she belongs to Sc\st\Obc, we give the seats\jobs anyway.
When we do this, as the person on reservation scored less marks, he\she should do the
job less efficiently. But obviously, this is not the case. The people who gets on reservation
sometime does the job even more efficiently than who got in with high marks. Isn't this
simple fact enough to prove that marks doesn't mean anything? Then why are we still judging
people on marks? Shouldn't the criteria be something else? We have to change the present system.

2) Today's system is violating the fundamental rights that must reach every one.
Our constitution gives out the right to equality. But it is denied to most of the students.
It is a well accepted fact that abilities are divided to students at different rates.
while some has to work for many hours to study even a single paragraph, the same amount
can be done in a few minutes by a student who is good at mucking-up. This means that
the person who is not so good at by-hearting has to work really hard to score even an
average mark while some one else who has god given power to study can have more free
time. How can this be equality? If we are humane enough to give out reservation to socially
backward groups, do we not have enough of it to do something to people who are born
with no special power to study? And the most of the discrimination occurs as the so called
"weak students" are not at all weak when it comes to doing things practically. Most often
the "weak students" does work more efficiently once they are out of the school campus.
What kind of equality is this? Scoring more marks means that the person is talented in
the Field of writing exams not in the field of the subject of exam. Jobs are being denied
to people who can do the job much more efficiently and they being given are give to
people who are good in some other field. This is INSANE. There is no other world for
this.

3) Another one fault of this system comes with Home Works. Giving out Homework
is completely unscientific. HWs are given out to make sure that students study or at least attempt
their lessons at home. And what does students do at home most of them Deon's do the work on
time.They hurry up and complete the work at the last moment in a hurry for a formality.
Of course there are some students who does the works regularly, but they are very, very
limited. The HWs are good for them but not at all good for the majority.
Now one could obviously say that if the students doesn't do their work properly, it is their fault
and not the system's. But come on! its like 'going up a building, getting out to the terrace,
pouring down a glass of water to the street and when it falls on top of some one's head,
saying, "I only tilted the glass, I didn't ask the water to fall down!"' If the date of submission
of a work is given the students wont be able to fight the temptation of extending the work.
Then how you might ask, that some people does manage to do the work properly?
The answer is simple- "they love the subject". They are lucky enough to have the like for the subject.
Its like the water drops that still wets the bottom of the glass even if it is tilted.
they are lucky enough to have the chance to fight the gravity.
Like this, some students manages to hang them-selves to the work-load regularly.
For the rest of the students, the system does horrors.

The Flashback...A poem I wrote

Into the depths of the death I sink,
Getting the glimpse of my life at a wink.
Born I was as an infant child,
Dong nothing but to feel so mild
Having nothing of the thoughts so wild.
I cried, I puked I did it all,
I fed in love which came to no wall.
I wept, I slept, I wept, I slept,
Did nothing but to sleep and weep
Then one day I began to speak
That’s when they said ‘he just spoke’
I then began to learn, learn and learn
My bond with the heaven began to burn
What I gain from the first five years?
Nothing, as I learn as the mist starts to clear.

Into the depths of the death I sink,
Getting the glimpse of my life at a wink.
Then the took me to a place called school
Said I wont grow up to be a fool
Said I will have some money to buy some wool
When the nature is all but so cool
Teacher is the one whom I met there
Who taught me about the world as it were
I the n began to play all day
Studying sometimes in the midst of its way
Going to school, whinning like a dog
Playing even with a piece of log
What I gain from the second eleven years?
Nothing, as I learn as the mist starts to clear.

Into the depths of the death I sink,
Getting the glimpse of my life at a wink.
When I first met her it was in a rain
Her sprit so pure white as a crane
Without my knowing in love I was
A dreadful bond within me and her
Kept thinking of her was all I could
Seeing her face even in a wood
She was in my air, water and food
Gazing at her long I stood
Saw her beauty all the time
Nay did I know it was a crime
For ripped off from her was I one day
Both of us choose our own different way
What I gain from the third five years?
Nothing, as I learn as the mist starts to clear.

Into the depths of the death I sink,
Getting the glimpse of my life at a wink.
And before I knew it a family I had
Never I imaginer how it could be sad
I thought it even couldn’t be bad
For soon I became what they call dad
And eager was I to see a grown up lad
My problems and worries never it would fit in a pad
Then a second child I had
My worries she always used to add
Seemed both of them wouldn’t fit in my yard
Gone were the days of all day fun
Had to look my home just like the sun
What I gain from the forth thirty three years?
Nothing, as I learn as the mist starts to clear.

Into the depths of the death I sink,
Getting the glimpse of my life at a wink.
Telling my good days bye-bye
Welcoming a boring life hi-hi
Got some grandchildren I
Watching my good health die and die
Doing nothing but to sigh and sigh
Unable even to tie my tie
Nothing left of me but a big fat lie
What I gain from the fifth ten years?
Nothing, as I learn as the mist starts to clear.

Into the depths of the death I sink,
Getting the glimpse of my life at a wink.
One day I saw all but white-white hair
So pure white just as a hare
Left with nothing but a chest so bare
Get a small walk I did not dare
The world is now no longer fair
Keeping myself to my own lair
A small walk now became so rare
All I could was to stare at the stair
What I gain from the sixth fifteen years?
Nothing, as I learn as the mist starts to clear.

Myself now I ask and ask
As I lift my show-off mask
Failed was I in my life with a task
For empty was my good deed of flask
At last I learn my life was a waste
No use of it to make it haste
What I gain from the entire of my life?
NOTHING, as I learn as the mist is all but clear

God

Since the beginning of human history, man always believed in a power greater than his own. Take every civilization, Indus valley, Mesopotamian, Mayan every one of them believed in God. There had been senseless holy wars to capture holy relics and monasteries. We can find many killings, deaths and sacrifices all on the name of a god.
Did our ancestors perform all these on the name of someone who didn’t even exist?
Then after these deaths within the religion, there had been deaths due to the endless debates of “my god is better than yours.” There was a time when a war of religion vs. religion proceeded. Our own home land was divided into India and Pakistan after such a war. Many had to suffer due to the fact that their belief was different than that of the others.
All of these deaths and sufferings were due to the customs within the religion and the wars between the religions. Were they on the name of someone who didn’t exist?

Then in the European continents, when the Catholic Church was at its highest power came some revolutionary thinkers, the men of science. The men who searched for a greater truth.

In this case also we can see nothing but more deaths and sufferings. Socrates was killed after weeks of torture. Copernicus was excluded from society for saying that the earth was round.
That was another period of lots of deaths and killings. A battle between science and religion. Science had a reason for almost everything. Science and religion had different views, because of different views, more deaths.
All of these deaths due to the doubt in the existence of god. There exists and endless battle even today. The only difference of battles of yesterday and today is that, today the battle fields had been reduced to black boards and swords to chalks.
From all we can conclude that people of different religion and people of religion and people of science are fighting each other. (Though the war between science and religion is not so active now, it exists. The debates between religious people and rationalist in an example.)
So does god exists? If so is he Shiva, Christ or Allah?

WHAT IS GOD???
To understand god we must first understand that science does not undermine the existence of god, but rather reinforce it. Both science and religion are two different languages telling the same story. A story of perfect balance and symmetry. (Galileo)
Balance and symmetry, that is god. It is a mystic energy present all around us.
Science is not telling that the god does not exist. Science and religion are seeking the same truth.
God does exist. But he is not someone who can pull out the spine from one and create another. He is not sitting on the top of any mountain.
God is nothing but a connection, a bond, a matrix that connects us with each other, with the nature, and with the very fabric of the time-space continuum. There in no heaven and hell, but there exits an energy that connects us in a million ways, we can never even begin to understand. All the religions are telling the same thing in different ways. In the philosophy of Hindu mythology, it says that god is present everywhere. Science is also telling the same thing when it comes to the flow of time and space. To understand the concept that the god is everywhere, consider this – in our body there are many cells. Imagine that the cells can talk with each other. For them we are the god all mighty. Wouldn’t they say that the god (we) are present everywhere? That, we are there in the top most of the brain cell to the down most of the foot cell. The individual ‘I’ am present in every single part of the every single cell in my body. All the cells are in a perfect harmony to keep me breathing. This is the same case of the god. All of us are the part of one single big system. We are struggling to keep the system (the time space continuum) in a harmony. That system, that harmony is nothing but the god. See how we can connect an ancient philosophical idea from the Vedas to the latest idea of Stephen hawking? The thing is that philosophy has emerged from physics (here physics is meant as the most modern ideas of the universe NOT dynamics or electronics) and physics is going back to philosophy. Instead of realizing that we HATE each other in the name of god. This is leading us away from god rather than towards it.
