Education System

from my experience in school

"No more questions",
says the teacher,
her only focus is,
to finish syllabus on time.

Incharge provides solutions,
in the middle of the test.
He cares about his school's reputation,
and forgets the rest.

Money gives the admission test,
money gives the exam,
Teachers come to photoshoot,
with their fancy big smiles.

Students pass the school's test,
but when put on life's test,
'poor performance' or 'failure',
is all they ever get.

Author's Note

i hate the word limit. last para
"Where teacher teaches cheating,
and money prefers over talent,
dont blame the failed students,
its fault of the bloody education system"
hope you like it.
my classmate even named the newly introduced CCE( continous and comprehensive evaluation system ) as COPY CAT EVALUATION.

maybe it was you school.............
and secondly the system is built that way.........
coz those who really want to learn and gain knowledge, nothing stops them.
i too make fun of it the way you do.......but it was never meant to impart knowledge.......
well written.......i can feel that frustration in you.....
i liked it!!!

That is why I never paid attention to what they taught in schools. I knew they were fooling us :P

[ayesha gupta]

I remember feeling this way when I was in school.
It's sad that not much has changed.
Great poem! Unfortunately relatable. ;)

[ayesha gupta]

thankyou so much for writing review.

[Luximir]

Hey wow! I really liked this poem. It really shows a great rhythm and is very visual. Love the smile from the teacher!

Hay ! Ayesha
What are you doing ? Have anybody exposed someone in this way? More precisely saying it a theft of the lazy teachers. They do not accomplish their course and duty in time. They are when unemployed talk about the patriotic service making the profession "godfather" take oath to serve with dedication but as soon as they are appointed they forget their duties altogether. If I am not wrong all teachers and institutions are not the same. Still there are a few teachers and tip-counted institutions which perform their duty honestly. Yes. I do confess the old teacher instigate the newly appointed teachers not to work hard, thus he become a centre of attraction in the city or village and it will not be suitable for them.Being a teacher for 22 years I have found some and other such actions as you have mentions yet I strongly oppoesd that and I am still against those ill practices.
As for as the poem is concerned it a nice ptrotype product that exposes the real content if our faulty nature and one and the other somewhere in our educational system that spoils the future life of the students.
Thanks sharing so contentful or bulky matter.

Welcome ayesha..

What's up with the word limit? I have never run across this. As for the rest, there are a few minor grammar errors, just a couple apostrophes missing, and "money prefers over talent" doesn't quite make sense. "money's preferred over talent" would be more correct, but as always, poetic license is yours.

[ayesha gupta]

i face the word-limit problem. the characters to enter is fixed, not even a letter i can add after this limit. maybe browsing on phone add this problem.
thanks for review

its nice but,,,,,,,,,,i don't agree with last stanza whats the education system is need to do with life? U need to learn from outside world,,,,,,,...........

[ayesha gupta]

ok. i will explain this. when you have 98%in boards and cant qualify the competitive exams, means you are not talented, but you thought you were when you see your grading as 98%. if u were having 70%grades(real one), you would have practised more instead of being over-confident.

[ayesha gupta]

also if you know cheating yeilds better result, would you ever work hard for your goals?

[Kuldeep desai]

cheating,learning without understanding is not taught by our education system it's up to you what you adapt........

[Kuldeep desai]

And one more thing is competitive exams are not the life tests.....

[ayesha gupta]

when teachers do so, is there any choice for student.
being successful is life's test. everyone want success in relation, career..who wants failure? and competitive exams are a part. we dont live in a world where work accomplishes just after wishing. it takes effort.
