Educational Challenge!!!

After many days am into blogging again... Have successfully completed ILP at trivandrum and got posted at my hometown TCS Bangalore.
Now am into stream training.. A long bus journey every mornings and in the evenings. Leaving home at 7. 30 and returning back at 7.30pm. Such tight schedules are new for me as am a lazy bug. Today is friday and hence i was in the weekend spree rite from morning. i boarded the bus as usual. Generally its me, driver and the conductor are the 3 people who travel from starting point to the destination.. Inbetween i meet and get to chat with many new kinda people, who are boarding the bus. I love watching people and hence alwys wish to travel alone.. Today a young gal sat next to me, she boarded the bus along with few other gals of her age, all dressed up in same uniform. She might be around 14 yrs.. She opened a notebook n started studying something. The very look of hers can depict us tat she is very poor.. Her school bag had no zips and it was pined with hook leaving it open, few stiches to cover up the torned uniform of hers were also seen.. i had a great interest to see wat she was studying She was mugging up opposites n using those words to frame sentences. i was shocked to see a 14 yrs old gal studying opposites and sentence formation. 90% of the words were wrong. She said its her teachers who gave these to study n she is from govt school. OMG!! wat the F***!!! was my reaction. Atleast English is secondary lang, i got her other nnotebooks, even in tat science, Maths , everything was wrong.. Infact everything was just basics. It was very difficult for me to accept such realities tat So cald teachers really spoil students life. Thy r many many quality youngsters with stuffs, ready to get into teaching line. But with loops these crap people get jobs and startes digging others.
She said she is very much interested to study n so, she studies in the morning n in d evening she works as a cleaner in a nearby private hospiatls. Thr r many such enthusiactic souls being raped by these government's careleesness towards education system. Wen she grows up with these level o education, obviously she ll not get the rite job n hence no fruits for her work. This is the main reason y the poor parents still deprive their children from education and rather put them into work immediately. Only at tat point I felt happy tat am a volunteer in teach India, afterall this is wat i can do.. She was happy to talk to me as i gave her my address and asked her to drop to my house during weekend so tat i can help her out atleast something in Maths n Science. But i was sad seeing her and my mind started popping out with many questions...............

i knew i don have an answer for any of those, But still.......

Well, It happens right from first standard to final year of engineering. Teachers(NOT all) try to impregnate the thoughts conceived in their "brains",Utter crap. On the first place, curse the education system. Blah! Anyway, the thing which you have done is appreciable, kudos!
And oh, that reminds me of my Compiler design staff who said that the unusual program behavior/unexpected errors in a program are caused due to the interchanging of the Preprocessor statements(#Include) with each other( program must always start with stdio.h)

Brilliant no? :P
