questions.....

Why????? Why is it that we r so desperate for marks???  Why is it that our entire world gets reduced to marks and grades especially during the compreesssss???

 Why is it that we assume and expect so many things?? 

It all starts with the pre comprees being put up…. Ek ek mark ke liye jhagda… our section avg is low, he/she has not given us marks, our instructor suxx, he/she is bias, such a ******* , its so unfair… blah blah blah….. a minute analysis of the entire grade sheet follows…………..

“ I lost my grade by a mark, what the ***** is this?”  “This is not done”… How much did u get?? This is soo unfair , blah blah blha….

Its like uhhhhhhh

ENOUGH……………

How much analysis r u gonna put in one excel sheet????? Come on people, its  just the pre compree, u still have time in comprees……

  

 Why is it that we assume so many things?????/ That we expect full marks in all  continuous evaluative components just for being physically present for them????? As if  we r doing a favour to the teachers…

Why do we expect to get ful marks for the report just for submitting it, irrespective of the fact whether we have actually put in an effort or not?

Or why is it that we expect atleast 90% marks in the lab tests just for being present there n doing something, no matter what u have done is rite or wrong???

N when these expectations are not fulfilled, we make a huge hue n cry about it…

Is it fair???

 

Why is it that anyone who cares to put in efforts for a lab report is labeled as dumb, and his/her work as waste and timepass??? Or for that matter, made fun of amongst his/her peers??

Why is it that a person who does good in POM is not considered as intelligent or is not given as much credit as someone who does good in say a technical course? Its not that POm does not require effort on that persons part. If it is so easy then why doesn’t everybody score full marks in it??

 

Why is it that people take  project only under a particular teacher coz the teacher is known for giving easy A grade?? Is only grade that matters in life? Does it not have any importance at all what kind of work u have done, or how much u have learned in the process? Is ur effort, ur sincerity, ur honesty not at all important?? Only what matters in the end is whether u get an A or not, irrespective of whether u have worked or not!!!!!!!!!!!! How sick can people get??

 

Why do people get so desperate for marks that they fall to the levels of cheating in an exam?? Cheating!!!!!!!!!!!!! By students from an institute like BITS!!!!!!! What then is the difference between us and the people from other colleges??? How do we stand out?? Are grades so important that we give up our ethics, our moral values, our conscience for its sake???

 

Someone who starts studying about an hour  before u is called as phodu. We live in constant fear of the other person n how much he or she has studied coz we fear that the average is gonna be high. Friendship doesn’t really matter here, all that matters is marks!!! The irony is a person who has got less marks has to console a person who has got more marks just coz the latter is losing a grade by a couple of marks or sth, or in some cases not even losing the grade, just FEELING that they r gonna loose the grade!!!!!!!!!!

 

We keep saying 10p’s r sick coz they keep studying… well the only difference is, they care for matks as much as u do, just that they start working for it from day one n get them, we work at the last moment and expect to score as much. Well if grades r so important then y not work for them as much??  Why blame others for studying more just coz they care more?? Or they put in more effort??  Why swear at them, instead of working hard ourselves???

 

Are grades more important than knowledge? U say its not ur subject then why should u have its knowledge? Well in that case, why even bother about it grade?? As it is its not gonna affect ur future much, then why bother at all??

 

Why is it that we have lost all sense of morality? That honesty, sincerity, dedication, hardwork,originality are now merely words in the dictionary?? And the person who tries to follow them in real life is mocked at or thought of as impractical??

Why???

Can neone give me an honest satisfactory answer to this epect for I m thinking too idealistic and impractical and ‘when in rome do as the romans do’.?

Anyone??

 

PS- This post is not meant to offend anyone, its just a reflection of my thoughts. If I have offended anyone in the process, its unintentional n I apologise for the same.

I was or rather am also one of the above mentioned persons, and that is one thing I regret. I never thought it was wrong but now I m ashamed to think that I was one of those people and I had reduced myself to such a narrow line of thought. This post is one the first step towards making amends……
