Results Vs Reality
Getting 12th standard's state Board results a few days back
myself, I saw today's Facebook filled with statuses about the CBSE board
results. Some had good results and some had great.
There was not a single person who posted that s/he had an awful result. Obviously, who would want to tell the world that they passed 12th with great difficulty. But I realized something today. There are so many students who worked so so hard but still didn't get a good result and now they're being scrutinized by their parents for not being serious about studies.
There is no doubt that our parents' concerns are justified because these days competition is so tough that even students with 97 percent don't get admissions in colleges.
But is it fair to those who really gave their 100 percent and still couldn't score a 98%? I mean, some students have a caliber of a 80% and score that much. How can we blame them? Imagine if the competition is so tough with just few of us being smart, what would the amount of competition be if we all were that smart? It's sad that our results don't show the amount of hard work put in by all of us. Colleges accept students with a 98% even if s/he might never be able to communicate with anyone fluently in English, might not have manners and might not be sophisticated.
I have seen students who have a 99% but as they open their mouth to talk, I feel like running away.
I mean, how do you have a 99% without knowing basic English grammar?
Forget all these aspects. How many of us would actually remember any of the things that we learnt? I have a 95% and I can tell you honestly that except a few maths equations and the English chapters, I remember nothing. We all study just to get those marks to ensure that we get onto a college (a reputed one of course).
What use is the 99% to a student if s/he only mugged up everything and learnt nothing?
The results don't show the reality. It shows the fabricated truth. The truth is we don't learn for ourselves. We learn for our parents, the society, the college professors. So many of us will struggle in our interviews if any one in the panel would ask us something about one of our subjects.
I know I will for sure.
Our results show how good we are at mugging up not how good we are at acquiring knowledge.
Today's education system is hitting pit bottom to be honest. There needs to be a change.
Today we see students studying 12 - 14 hours in a day. What will happen in the future? 18-20 hours? Our kids would die of studying. There will be no sign of cancer but maybe some sign of study-o-mania which would turn our kids into zombies. Sounds hilarious and lame too but you have to admit that the exhaustion is increasing.
