What is wrong with the Indian education system?
Thinking.Science for intelligent ones.Commerce for “good in maths” students.Arts for weak students.Question papers.Bihar boards’ open cheating.Repeating the same questions from past papers. Leading to proliferation of “guidebooks” business.Clash of views.If your views don’t match with the teachers’, you won’t get desired marks.Long hauls.11000 UPSC aspirants on an average don’t make it in the interview. 2000 of them don’t find their place in the merit list. They have to go through the process again. They could have had easily filled any group B job.Mugging over understanding.“Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.”People writing XII boards mostly remember the solution of the question asked in their exam.Stickiness in thought process.Reforms are envisaged in 10 years. It takes 10 years to implement them.K. Kasturirangan to head panel on National Education Policy. He will suggest some fresh reforms. But alas, all those reforms will bite the dust.TSR Subramanian’s recommendations on Higher education are yet to be implemented.Last day hauls.“Ma’am told us these important topics. Learn these by heart. You will get good marks.”Sad part is that these persons really do top the exams.It leads to “Yes men” around teachers and professors.Vicious cycles.Intelligent—- Science—-Send to Kota—-Depressed—-Suicide.Commerce — Prepare for CA — Feels like not interested — ends up wasting precious time.Arts --Prepare for UPSC—not interested—- ends up wasting many years.Extraordinary delays.CBSE did some serious mistakes in this year’s results. Now, many students' marks are increasing. But college cut off won’t count those increased marks. These students miss the cutoffs of their favourite colleges.UPSC exams takes an year to complete the process. Many young years are drained into it.Things are beaten into the head.My friend’s sibling had started writing sentences. I asked him to write something. I asked him to write something in 5 different ways.He wrote the word “something” in five different fonts!When after few months, the teacher asked him to write something, he did the same. He was scolded by the teacher. He came to home crying.AImage: Don't Let Perfect Get In the Way of Progress.

Why is gerrymandering in the US unfair?
Gerrymandering is unfair for a number of reasons.It can cause minorities to have less of a say in the areas in which they vote for an official. This is because gerrymandering often disproportionately represents one class/political leaning to ensure a certain candidate or party will win the election.It unfairly separates people from their representatives. Often times the areas that are carved out by gerrymandering are very odd in shape, they don't don't make sense in the way that they are, this could cause an individual to be represented by someone based many, many miles from where they live/operate.It tips the political scale of favorability. The entire point of gerrymandering is cutting up the number of voter types in such a way that benefits the incumbent or certain political party, so as to keep control of the legislature in an area. The inherent point of ensuring one side’s victory is, in itself, unfair.Several examples of unfairness in gerrymandering can be found with a quick Google search, there are even games to play that expose one to the evils of gerrymandering.
How did the partition, the division of Northen Ireland and Southern Ireland?
I appreciate the difference in phrasing, but I believe my response to your previous question serves to answer this one as well. I think that nonpartisan websites will be few, while I did attempt to be impartial.
If you were to reform the Indian education system, what would you do and why?
If you compare the Indian education system and foreign education system, India focuses more on theory . Practicals are taken lightly. I am a student who can't mug up or remember theory. When i perform practical experiments along with studying theory , i get a very profound grasp of the topic. When i work in the college lab with my fellow classmates, I find that they are more concerned in getting the expected values and work in a way to adhere to a specific procedure. They lack the interest to reason and experimenting new techniques. They are more worried about getting marks , not learning something new. This is why we are technologically backward. We have good theoretical innovation but we are zero when we come to practical innovation.First of all i would like to bring about the following changes to our educational system-1) Make everyone realize that scoring marks are not the ultimate goal. Learning new things and implementing what ever they have learnt in a positive way should be the main goal. In India - Good marks > College name will increase > Demand increases > Fees and hence profit increases. I don't want collage to train and educate students for money.2) Open more schools and develop them so as to accommodate students all over India. With this we can stop the reservation system but continue to provide scholarships for poor students.3) Kicking a practical sense of approach and arousing curiosity in students.4) Collage admission should be based on skills and not based on marks. To get a seat in top university in USA , we have to clear GRE,TOEFL etc which are skill testing exams. They don't test the students knowledge as it does not give appropriate results in distinguishing between an Einstein and mug head.
Please describe yourself as a reader and how you came to be one?
1. I read anything and everything, even road signs. My parents can't leave letters lying around or i'll read them! I'm not being nosey, they know i'll read everything. I started reading properly in year one. I really struggled, so much so they put me on book with no words were you have to make up the story for the pictures to help my fluency- i vividly remember one about a wedding that i choose as i was going to be a bridesmaid. Because i had a wonderful teacher, i overcame it and now i'm in top set GCSE english, predicted a A 2. My favourite book at the moment is The Declaration by Gemma Malley. Beautifully written, its about now man cures death and how children are banned. Told from the point of view of Anna, one of the 'surplus' children living in Grange Hall, a prison for surpluses, it was incredibly deep and really conveyed how children are the future. 3. I think it was the teacher i had in year one- Miss Walker, the one who helped me read, that has inspired me to become a teacher. She really was one of the kindest people i have ever met.
Should there be mandatory paternity tests at birth to prevent men from denying paternity and to prevent women from intentionally naming the wrong men as the fathers of their children/lying about the paternities of their children?
When I was in high-school, I was dating a man who cheated on me. The woman he cheated on me with got pregnant. We all knew it wasn't his baby because the timeline didn't add up. He's confessed what he did and begged me to give him another chance, but a few weeks later she crawled to him crying about how she was pregnant with his child.He didn't know what to do. He wanted to do right by his child, but didn't want to hurt me. I didn't want to be the person who kept a father from having a family with his children so I backed off, but I had a long conversation with him about how this just didn't add up.We stayed friend—not friends who hang out and talk everyday but we were friends on Facebook—and through the years I watched this proud father live his entire life for his daughter. Thousands of pictures were displayed proudly on Facebook, and he was beaming in every single one.She cheated on him throughout the entire relationship but he dealt with it because he didn't want to tear his family apart and hurt his daughter.Guess what …She ended up reconnecting with the actual father of the baby. She and the real father got a test done behind his back and when they got the results they tore his daughter away from him and he never saw her again.Can you fucking imagine?All of that could have been prevented by a DNA test being done the moment the baby was born, and then both parties could have decided what to do. Even though he had raised this little girl as his own, he had zero rights to her after the mother left him because he was not biologically her father. Had he known this, he could have insisted on adopting her early on and prevented that from ever happening.There are situations when this could be necessary. He had no reason to believe that kid was not his. He believed whole-heartedly that she was so he never thought about getting a test.I think woman who have nothing to hide wouldn't mind doing this anyway, and those who do should have to face the music of their choices. Fathers should have the right to arm themselves with information so situations like the one above stop happening, because they happen a lot. Women have the security of knowing for sure without a doubt that child is ours but men don't. This would give them that security that we already have.I honestly cannot think of an argument against it besides it being cost effective …
