We all have a school life didn't we? Doesn't we all are said "You are reading in the best school........."
but there we are tortured at the point to lose our Self-Confidence by just being Grade as fool's?
Is School to make us a Good personality or grade us?
If a school's said to be a place to worship,a temple so why does that temple cost's us?
It's practical why Does only big people with big money are successful?
why poor people are even not let in the school?

| I am want to tell you about Schools to make us or Grade us.|
I think it 19912 is partially right that school is to grade us but in some schools or For some teachers curiosity is important but the system is like that grades is important.

@19912, should I assume that you received a poor grade and are now trying to console yourself by pinning the blame on the education system?

I'm thinking he is blaming the culture of studying, of cramming, of endless hours spent on preparations, burning the midnight oil, etc. It's pretty prevalent and well known in many Asian societies (China, India, Korea, Singapore, etc), and could be down to our cultural roots (Such as Confucianism, and the emphasis on diligence, we even have temples to pray for good grades, good grief). If that is what 19912 is referring to, then I can't help but empathize, because I've been there before. Horror stories of students in China buying pure oxygen tanks in order not to pass out, parents buying pills for their daughters so their cycles don't mess up their exams, countless ''roven'' brain foods being shoved down our throats, students planning well ahead in their years the exact steps to be taken to enter the top universities in the world (Hey, don't you wonder why there're so many of us in the Ivys/Oxbridge?!) etc.

Then I think to myself, who is to be blamed for this? Aren't we all part of the system itself, and the constant fuel that pushes this insane rat race to get the highest grades?

Anyway, I guess introducing a movie reflecting on such educational stress/systems isn't going to do any harm. Three Idiots is a funny and touching movie of college life in India. Of course, being film, you'll have to sift the grains of truth from the falsehoods.

If it wasn't against the rules, I would suggest that he just write his response in Hindi. Then, at least, I could find a passable translation online.

If we're not part of the race, then why the great upset over the gaping holes in the education system? On the contrary, we have quite a bit of vested interest in a process that shapes us and plays a large part in our life paths.
