I hate the degree but I love education!

So you found out the value of x, you mastered trigonometry, you learnt Cayley Hamilton Theorem, you understood inertia, you did differential equations in calculus and covalent bonds, so there you worked hard and got those marks your dad would be proud of, you got the degree! Congratulations.

I used to wonder, why I had to learn all this crap which I am never going to use in real life! They said, you study well, you get good marks and thats the only thing that can fetch you a good job.
And that was Bullshit.
Its the first true theory about controlling a society. Right at the level of granular psychology. A society that is made to think that only a good degree from a branded school/college/university can earn a better livelihood. A society is thus controlled by a lie which everyone almost magically believes to be true!

I partially agree. But, I still ask, where are you using your algebra now? what happened to matrices? where did trigonometry go? Worst of it all, we let some so called 'learned' guy set up a question paper, about someone else's findings, inventions and discovery, and we spent a whole goddamn year's effort in 3 hours, and someone else corrected those answers and decided our life in terms of Marks! Are you worth only numbers? Is your future only worth some numbers at the hands guy who does not know you, who rated your answer paper you wrote at the final exam?

This is the part I always wondered, from childhood days! and I still don't see a point why and how sheep like we are! I know, many reading this blog will still find the system right, and they'll have their own validations. It shows how closed we are and how pathetic and ignorant our society is. We are made to believe that this is how it works, this is what we should study! Because someone had to make money, someone needed to create a reputation, someone had to become a brand, someone had to call it a market! If Education was meant for a job, like what our elders say, then is our education system effectively producing enough job ready candidates?
Survey says 85% of Indian engineers and graduates are un-hirable! unemployable! This is as per the 2012 CAGR report on Indian Employment market.

Still every year school and college fees are increasing, education is getting costlier by the day, competition is growing worse, a race that has become a burden, the sharpest kid in the class is not the one who is going to become a socially impacting person who will help the lives of many! no, no way! why? because he is too ruthless, he is too selfish, he is too brutal, he is too competitive and he is too stupid!

Wake up to truth you all! I am not blaming education, I want education, I love education and we have to embrace it. I just hate the system. Cant you see, we are made to choicelessly go through subjects which we dont use or we are not interested in! Isnt that changing the real capability of a person that's inherent in him. Note that every individual has something very special about him, we are all equally special and talented but have different interests and skills. Thats how we are all not the same. Yet, the number system, the grading, the ranking is measuring everyone in the same way! in one exam, in one test! in one sitting!
Its like you have put a monkey and a fish in a tree climbing competition and the fish has no choice but to score less marks compared to a monkey!

And to top it all there is Reservation system! oh man this society sucks!

A school could never teach me, neither did anything important or useful did my graduation offered to me! What I know of, what I have learnt is what situations have taught me! My resume is filled with skillsets, and not even a single one came out of a textbook!

Wake up to truth, dont enroll your kids just because your neighbour said its an international techno school that charges 2 lakh rupees a year and has a swimming pool or take your kids to a foreign trip! what your kid needs is real education, that comes from real life! Let them learn music, arts, programming, about plants, animals, about being human, about humanity, about what they really are passionate and interested in.

Exams dont teach survival! A Final exam is not final, a Test is not testing how good a student is, its not creating an innovator or encouraging the creative side. Its measuring everyone in the same line and thats wrong! who got us these tests and exams, who set us up with this system? See below

If you got time, please check out the below video, an Eye opener! Dont let those marks decide the fate of our next generation!


Let them choose! Dont let the system choose them! We should know to make our own fate, not let some unknown guy scoring the answer sheet! or a bunch of papers!

Remember, Society is wrong! You have the chance to be right!
