The 3V1Ls 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!’

Some dumb Question

I saw this question in some fan page in Facebook

Q : Two planes take off at the same exact moment.They are flying across the Atlantic. One leaves New York and is flying to Paris at 500 miles per hour. The other leaves Paris and is flying to New York at just 450 miles per hour. Which one will be closer to Paris when they meet?

A : They will both be the same distance from Paris when they meet!

What a dumb question. Stupid fools~!
