Present education system is killing us, literally! (micro blog)

What do you enjoy more?- Sitting on a chair for hours staring at a book or playing outdoors.

Obviously, your answer would be staring at a book for hours. Atleast this is what our educational authorities think.

According to them we get fun in waking up till late night to rote learn all that matters.

Hell no!

We don’t do it for fun. We do it because we have to. It’s a compulsion on us.

We would always prefer and an outdoor game over staring at a syllabus book. But only if you let us the time to do so.

Now, let’s talk some facts.

A teen needs atleast 1 hour of physical activity each day. Here in India, forget physical activity- we spend 2-3 hours a day in coaching classes.

The lack of this minimum required physical activity can hamper proper body and brain growth. But who cares, we just need to crack that 1 competetive exam and we’re done for life.

We have sayings like “Abhi mehnat krlo toh baad me araam kroge” (slog your arse off now so that you can rest your arse later). This saying may have been true 10 yrs back but not now because now everyone is working really hard.

When most most want a bite of a pie, the size of a bite gets small, so small that it won’t even do justice to the hard work you did to earn that pie.

We are not just putting in our hardwork. We are compromising our health for that seat in that college.

So please try and understand this-

Agree the pie is very big but the number of people who want a bite is wayyy bigger.

Don’t compromise your health for that bite.

Most of all don’t let that pie kill you.
