Why not to increase the marks of Class 7 Artificially

In the new education system propagated by the HRD ministry for the government schools affiliated to CBSE no student can be retained in any class till 9^th standard. Immediate implication of this system is that students do not care about the studies because they know that nobody can retain them. So there is no use of studies for them.

Can we blame children for not studying?

Children are children after all and they want to play and enjoy. Since most of these students come from the families where nobody is there to educate them about the importance of education. Even if you have the most dedicated teachers in the world to educate these students can they be motivated? How they can be motivated? Since teachers are forbidden to discipline these raw brains so there is no way to discipline these when the atmosphere at home and neighbourhood is not conductive for studies. Now the only incentive was to motivate them to maintain their respect in their peer group by scoring good marks or at least to reach next level with their efforts. Since the policy has taken away that incentive to learn as well by promoting these students to next level so there is no way that these students can learn.

How unethical system is being forced?

So when principles in the schools ask the teachers to solve the questions on their answer sheets to give them better marks it is double crime. First you never let the students know where they really stand. Second you ask teachers to do unethical thing.

Coming to unethical thing, system is designed cleverly. It is responsibility without the resources. Resource is discipline. You have taken that resource away from the teachers. Then question the teachers about the poor performance of students pretending to be unaware of the situation. Fact is that only absolute idiots will not see students knocking the doors in the schools and shouting all the time and making nuisance. But principles believe they are playing smart while every person with common sense knows that they are asking stupid question. May be principles are further under pressure from their superior. While propagating such a stupid system they want sensible citizens of this country that they are being sensitive.

Same thing is being done in 10^th standard as well, but that is subject of another blog. Here at least teachers should be honest and give marks honestly. So that the teachers when they face these students whose future is spoiled by the new system, know that what was the past record of these students who can not divide or multiply in 7^th standard. Who get absolute zeros.

Let somebody tell it to the people who are designing a foolhardy system. We as citizans of this country has this duty towards our future generation. As human beings we have this duty to perform for our progenies.
