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.
