The problem with the schools!!




The flaw they say is with the judiciary and the police every one is so damn curropt. All you need is a lot of money and then you can have your way. May be it is true….But then who is to be blamed for this state?Lets face it given the choice how many of us would pay a fine when caught by a traffic cop…most of us would try to worm our way out by paying a bribe…
Hey but this is way ahead…What about the schools where we are suppoused to be taught and made into people who have honour and pride… As far as I remember if you were a teacher ’s pet, a school topper, or the badge wearer you could always threaten the small guys…After all the teacher would 8 outta 10 times listen to the prodigal student…
We blame politics for the state of affairs…that politics doesn’t have people who are capable enough or who are in touch with the needs of the people...But do our schools teach us any different??? As far as I know 99pc of the schools select head boys and girls based on the academic criteria (of course in order to be all round they have participated in a few quizz competitions and sports!!) But is this what being a leader is all about…aren’t leaders suppoused to be men who earn respect and love rather than demanding it. To be fair not all these selected people are bad…not all of them are arrogant…but do the math…In the end as we progress from shcools to colleges how many of the good guys enter the section of politics….they are now very focused on making a career knowing that they are the best at it..but what about the kids in school who could have been great leaders…didn’t some one take away their confidence?
Not just this quite a few of the children never work to become captain etc because they are taught to focus only on studies…no wonder we have an electorate which isn’t too interested in politics!!
Be loyal to the coutry and never ever think of betraying it, remember that you should never walk out on your team, never sell yourself…right that’s the version we hear in moral science…Most teachers in the staff room then coax their students to do the exact opposite when they need to know who did the mischief..Sure they do it in order to know the truth but what does the kid learn??
Kids wanna stay back and watch matches and cheer for their local team or their mates in drama….
The parents tell their chidren that they better come home and study after all you are not in the drama…don’t you have to score in exams…and this is how the seeds are sown…most of these are the one’s who then regard talk of buiding a nation as a humbug and are first to take flight and run to the western wordl..
Oh and how many times in school did all of us keep our mouth shut when the wrong person was being scolded by the teacher….and they say people don’t act as witnesses!! The character of a nation is determined by the character of it’s people…which in turn is made when they are children…but the world inside of schools more often than not teaches the children those very things which the later want to change…what shall we do about it??
