The Evils of CBSE (PART 2)

Last time i ended...i said it was not over...and it really isn't, it never will be. CBSE has just too many flaws and i wont be able to fit em in an INFINITE pages...so there'll be a part 3 and a part 4 and so on...until the end of time or the end of me.

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 ed up way.Not only was it evil.....It was evil genius! It was a carefully planned diabolic effort of ruining the lives of their students.

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 )

Ill tell you about the fascinating way in which i spent my valentine's day. I went out early in the morning, to tuition :-s , I came back gome and slept for a while, youtubed a bit and went thfought a bit of physics for my exams (which are still 3 weeks away and dont really matter, but its the CBSE BOARD EXAM!!! and everyone is frightened althought i dont know why) Then i did a lil bit of math and here i am to tell you about one of the most uninteresting days of my life........

Contemporary insults

Contemporary insuts are a waste. The insults we use these days are so monotonous and repititive that a good argument is no longer possible.

Now days insults are of 2 types:

1. Those which dont make sense: Telling someone that they're lame is like saying'You walk with a limp in one leg', how(HOW???)is that an insult??

2.Insults used by people tho think theyre cool: These include the words that im not supposed to use in my blog and a few others like like; nerd, loser, etc.

A modern argument would go like this:

'Thats my apple!'
'No! It's mine.'
'Youre lame'
'Screw you'
'Damn you'
'Dude, You SUCK!'
'Dum**s theif!!!!'
Then it heads onto more provocative insults and insults to the family members of either party...consequently followed by an amplified version of the entire conversation.

This kind of an argument is immature and uninteresting and the people listening soon lose interest and wander off looking for more fun things to do rather than listen to arguments that they know are going to end in physical expression of outrage.

A good verbal fight is not one which uses the big bad words(words condemned by society, abuses) but which uses the not so bad words in an intelligent way. A fight actually gets interesting when words that shouldnt be used as curses(like banana, Britney Spears, George Bush, etc.) are used as slangs along with type 1 insults or when type 2 insults are modified and used in a lol way.I wish i could give a few examples but sadly, I cant. However i promise that it works and encourage you to Try it ;D !

Random explanation

I havent been writing much lately. Im not bored of blogging and the enthusiasm hasnt died out. Its just that I havent been able to find the time. Ive had exams! and im still having them and ill keep having them until the end of March... so the initial frequency is gonna drop down big time!

You know of that excitment, fear and enthusiasm that you have during exams? Well... Ive written so many exams lately that Its all died out. Ive become fearless, bored and uninterested.

Exams, I personally think are useless, especially the ones conducted by CBSE. They simply encourage you to cram stuff up in your head for a day, spit it out the next day. I dont think we should have exams at all.

Did you know: Did you know that CBSE charges money to examine you? Yes! you have to pay them to get tested. WTF?

The evils of CBSE

For the Record CBSE stands for Central Board of Secondary Education and it truly SUCKS! Its the education board I study in.

The fact that it sucks doesnt mean that it leaves me illiterate but it means that it stresses on teaching me just about every thing I don't need to know. Things that are irrelevant, unimportant, ancient, unpleasant and not cool. Of course, once in a while they do teach something that is vital to man but the stuff that precedes it is the ultimate SHIT!
If they teach you about the modern peiodic table..theyll first tell you about three failures, theyll tell you how its not done and then get to the real thing. If you ask me i'd rather just do a detailed study on the modern one.

The ultimate problem is not that they teach the history of all the modern science and maths(because it can help you get an idea of what youre going to do and why). The worst thing is that they ask this history in exams!! Informing is one thing...Making you waste your precious time and energy doing things that have been long surpassed by modernity is definitely another.

Another disparity is rote. In the preface of every text book these words are present- 'we attempt to discourage rote' -Gimme an effing break. That is smashing the limit of guilt conscience. Its the same as a madman saying ' I'm not mad '. Even the maths they teach involves rote.They strive to tell you that 'it happens' rather than why it happens, and when you ask why it happens, they say 'It just happens'.They think that by doing it again and again we can get it over with. But we can get it over with the moment we start it if yuo tell us whay it happens!! Whats the end result? They produce mindless and idiotic memorizers who have lost(or rather, never developed) their capacity to understand and their desire to know whats outside that text book.

Then of course there is the board's ruthless, unorganized and unpredictable behaviour. They do everything possible to make the lives of the students miserable. They think that by making our lives miserable, they can make us better indivisuals. 'Well..BZZZZ....wake up! when in the history that you have been making us memorize have you heard of people who earn success from torture?' They try to create regulations for the betterment of the system but their timing is bizzarre,cruel and unfair.
Just last year, at the time my batch was beginning 10th grade and the previous batch was going to give their board exams, their externals, their so-called life deciding exams....the board conveniently decided to ruin it for them and announced officially that the questions that year in all papers were going to consist of 'HOTS'(High Order Thinking Skills questions).Not that anyone was scared at first but the hype they created would have been enought to blow your mind!! What happened next? A scuicide! 'Congrats CBSE... you murdered an adolecent. Woohoo!'

Before trying to teach, why dont you try to learn?

According to me, What CBSE imparts isnt education, Its the Art of Cramming

P.S. This isnt over!

The most dangerous drug

The most dangerous drug would be.....Procrastination. Its a drug because it gives short term pleasure but ultimately results in pain.

We have so many things to do that it is extremely easy to procrastinate. Its something we can do at any time and for any amount of time. we can procrastinate on anything(dunno if thats gramatically correct...but you get my point).We start doing something and end up getting carried away with something else.

We dont want to do whats difficult and so we procrastinate, finding ourselves time to locate an escape route from this hideous task that has been alloted to us. Its the easiest way out but the end results are disastrous. In most cases we conveniently forget about that task and end up doing it in the last minute, just before the deadline while saying' Crap! I should've finished this before'

Its something that is very tempting and easy and its human nature to give into temptations...so we do...and we taste the drug of procrastination. Of course we suffer the consequences of our first dose...but that doesnt stop us from tasting it again and again and again.
And we become addicted to it.

The reason why I have called it the most dangerous is that unlike alcohol, caffaine, nicotine, marijuana, coke and the like It doesnt put us in a state of semi consciousness or unconsciousness but keeps us completely conscious. The problem with that is- we are aware of the fact that we have some unfinished business and that haunts us as we sleep, as we play, as we read, even as we blog but still cant get to the job cause its too darn tough or uninteresting.

It doesnt harm our brain or heart but has a direct impact on our life, future and development.

No one has been able to discover a cure to this drug or its effects because its effects are permanant but the best solution any one could come up with is- 'Just Do It'.
