This post is just about that massively cruel CBSE move of MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions).
There was one good thing about it, it was a way to analyze the student's brain....every square mm of it. But from my previous post you must have gotten an understanding of how the board works. An understanding of their ability to take every good idea and effortlessly turn it into a flawless masterpiece of disaster.
So they took this brainstorm (of probably some 25 year old visionary who wanted to revolutionize the Indian education system) and implemented it in their way. The CBSE way. The Sucky way. The
They used their excellent sense of bizarre timing and put the final MCQ(20 marks) exams after the theory of all subjects(roundabout 420 marks) so that the students can get only a partial but not complete relaxation and are forced to take on 30 experiments in 1 day. They know that this relief that we students experience on the day the theory gets over, will rid us of the enthusiasm to study for the 20 mark paper...and we'll either not do it well or not do it at all.
However...their plan backfired last year when the kids did exceedingly well...so to rectify their error and to make sure the we people don't pass with flying colors, they changed the format! Not of the question paper(If they made it any tougher, someone would sue them)..they made the answer sheet sooo irritating, That a kid would shoot himself rather than colour a thousand little circles making sure that each one is dark enough to be accepted as an answer by a computer! They think its 'cool' to fail students...they think it makes them look like they care for the progress of the nation, but these undying efforts of theirs do nothing other than make them look like big elephantic Yokozunas!
Strangely enough...they havent made the MCQ system anymore weird or torturous yet...but rest assured, theyre scheming. And they wont stop, they wont tire and they wont get bored of terrorizing poor lil defenseless kids. So all thats left for us to do is to pray to god to knock some sense into their hollow skulls and hope that they will realize the fact that education is not just informing students about raw facts, but teaching them how to penalize these facts and exploit these to their advantage.
But well i guess CBSE is one of those things that takes a long time to change, like animal testing, or George Bush, or the economy.
P.S. Read the first para again (pretty please :-P )
