My elder brother is a primary school teacher at my village Kural in Odisha. He was one of the teachers who believe in going to school in time and putting school duty above personal duty. He was respectable among the peer and students. Recently he was manhandled by a group of people for not allowing to cheat in 10th board exam. The group of people manhandled him as he asked to close the window where the people used to send the copy to the classroom.
It hurt me because my brother was manhandled. It hurt me because, we know the culprit and still have not complained about him to police. This pains are nothing, when I compare the pain I get from the charecter degradation.
We have accepted cheating as a means of life. Copying in 10th board is one of them. But it is omni-present. people who cheat are treated as heroes and people who help cheating are role models. And people who asks for fair means are bad boys.
I believe in solving a problem than stating it, but don't know what to do. God save such people.

To add... I know there are colleges openly taking money to help their students in mass copying. And those colleges are run by MLAs and other (respected) political leaders.
ReplyDeleteEven Mulayam Singh Yadav had allowed students to copy in UP some years back when he was the state CM.
With these kind of people and these kind of education in place, how do we expect to compete with the world? We need to find an answer to that question.
