The Mugg N Vomit Syndrome

This is a bloody endemic which has deeply inflicted and crippled the Indian education system. India’s youth is said 2 b 1 of d most intelligent, hardworking and academically inclined one in d world but thanx 2 d above disease which has gripped d mind of d Indian youth their potential is not being completely sapped. I m an ICSE student n thanx 2 dat atleast my ability 2 understand , contemplate n criticize was encouraged 2 a certain extent but 4 my 11 th std I shifted 2 d state board and was appalled by their system of education here let alone encouraging a student’s ability 2 understand , here d phenomenon of understandin is completely discouraged. Here d students r provided wid typed notes n r asked 2 completely learn it by-heart,n during d exam d student is asked 2 reproduce d same without missin a comma or a question mark. Here d question as 2 whether d student has an understandin of d subject does not even arise n is treated as irrelevant. If any student has any doubt regardin d subject he/she is asked 2 read d notes thoroughly again n if he/she further questions d teacher , he/she is made a mockery of or is shouted at for askin unnecessary questions……….hence in conclusion I’d like to say dat 1 has 2 take some sort of step 2 change how things work here because in today’s world where things knowledge keeps widenin its boundaries by d second 1 cannot continue 2 live in this ignorant n knaive fashon. Thus I’d also like 2 add by sayin dat after knowing how things work here it does not shock me when India inspite of being d home 2 d largest no. of docs n engineers in d world is not home 2 dat many scientists since even though d ppl here may b remarkably gifted, very rarely r they encouraged 2 use their brains.
