The most disgusting thing is to go through a CV or marriage profile, written for someone with a Graduate/Postgraduate level qualification, which is full of spelling and grammar mistakes. They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
I say the pudding has been poisoned by a bunch of losers that have brought down the standards of CBSE examination system in the country. If a bunch of losers in there teens could not concentrate hard and study enough to even pass high school with a chosen set of subjects, and feel like they don't deserve to live anymore because of it, I believe they are right.
I failed in Mathematics through and through from class 8th onward, but I had my talents in others subjects. Eventually I chose humanities stream, and did okay.
Yes. I was talented and didn't put too much hard work into it, and that is the reason I got 50% in my 12th boards. Do I blame anyone except myself for it?
There are people who should share the blame, for failing to inspire me, for failing to see that I could do more, but needed a push in a certain way, for not being able to understand what I needed to get there. But the primary blame to my fall and my failures remains mine. I knew what was needed to be done, yet did not rise to the occasion to beat my critics with performance then. Their words didn't mean much, as I knew what I was doing.
Nine years down the line now, having stood my ground through tough times and rising back after every fall, tougher and stronger than before, the only bastion left for me now is to make those who hear my name bow down in respect. And now I am pulling all stops to it.
Getting back to the original point, I started writing this post as a rant against the current state of our educational system. It seems that the current state of education in India, to describe it accurately, has become highly diluted.
People are getting certified, but not taught all the things they should be, based on the course they choose. This is from my personal experience over the years.
After my schooling, I got the excellent opportunity to study animation and VFX at MAAC Kamla Nagar, which later changed the franchise and joined the newly created Frameboxx. Back then, the quality of teachers was so much better in the institute. The teachers used to demo everything, we took practice time in the lab, then went home and practiced some more. The students from that batch had a high success rate, and those who actually followed into the industry are in good places now.
The trainers that taught us are also in even better places. From the global recession of 2009 onward, a drastic negative change has been observed in all industries that has led to layoffs of great hardworking people, and openings for beginners(or noobs in gamer lingo). This phenomenon in particular seems to have affected the education 'industry' as a whole very hard. The lack of talent and initiative in the last few batches is absolutely appalling, but not surprising when I connect the dots.
It is so obvious that the teachers of today and tomorrow are not being trained right, prepared right or inspired right, and this is critically dangerous to the future crops of this country. They are challenged when it comes to teaching techniques, child psychology, communication skills and technology, not to mention in inspiring the right value system in students, as well as understanding their social responsibilities.
The young women that take up teaching as an 'easy job' should absolutely quit and take care of their own households, and forget about this idea at all, or find a simpler thing to do, such as running a shop or a tiffin service.
The first responsibility of every teacher is to be the agent of social change, and to inspire students to be their best selves, to lead by example, and it is a huge burden that is rested upon their shoulders. The second responsibility is to be a medium between the student and the subject.
I messed up in Mathematics in 8th class because I was getting distracted (puberty issues, god forbid), but was completely put off from Mathematics because of the hostility of the teacher since 9th class. If the teacher was kind, saw that I was facing some difficulty in the subject and had asked me why I and where I was stuck, The story could have been different. I wouldn't go too far on it, but at least I would have been better at that subject.
But instead, that very factor became the fall in my life. I was in a different phase then, still trying to figure out how to work out being an orphan, and cope with being myself. I faced isolation and hostility from both my peers and family members, and could never fully confide in anyone. Childhood was simply horrible for me.
I was lucky to have some really great teachers in other subjects who gave me both a source of inspiration and moral support, and I will be thankful to them to the end of my days.
If I ever do end up being a father, I will make sure my child never has to go through such trauma, and at the same time, I will never make the mistake of depending on the poor system that certifies them.
