I could not agree more with your o...Respected Sir,<br /><br />I could not agree more with your observations.<br /><br />Many of us, including myself, take our school education very seriously and with pride.<br /><br />My last two years have been pure turmoil, as I tried to balance out the near insane requirements of IIT JEE classes & my class 12 education. There was always a disconnect between the two.<br /><br />I believe in the end I lost out in both, because I was never completely into one or the other.<br /><br />To my disadvantage, I realized that many of my peers were totally oblivious of their class 12 curriculum & gave their 110% to JEE.<br /><br />At some level I envy them, because I was never able to completely let go of my class 12 education.<br /><br />I look back at these two years with a lot of dissatisfaction & feel that this duality took away a lot of the joy of studying.<br /><br />It is a real pity that the class 12 results cannot be the single requirement for college admissions & utilized at face value. It is also a pity that the country cannot have a single unified board. If the top board cannot be relied upon for its integrity & evaluation systems, then it is definitely high time that a single credible unified authority take charge of this critical phase of a student’s life.<br /><br />Class 12 board marks have to stand for something. Best of PCM marks.........should get you engineering, best of PCB marks.....should get you medicine, and so on.......<br /><br />Being in a position of some power, perhaps you can bring about a change.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Raghav AnandRaghav Anandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134227220374714617noreply@blogger.com
