Learn from us

When i say "learn from us" i dont mean just from the city of vizag, but the state of andhra pradesh as a whole. Unlike popular perception, we the people of Andhra Pradesh lead every state and for that matter every country in the world in the area of Business. We have the uncanny ability to convert even the smallest thing which you wouldnt consider as a "product to sell" and convert it a big business industry.

Take a look at our education system for example. We sell education. Sell it to such an extent that if you stay in this state for a period of 1 year, you would also begin to take it as a commodity to do business with. This is against the popular principle that education is something godly and it should enlighten the student not be rubbed in (as some of the other coutries subscribe to). It only shows your prehistoric thinking. Sell the bloody thing and show me the money : thats how we do business.

Lets break down the study system.

Pre-school :
Others: The chidlren be given freedom to understand what they and what they dislike. They should be allowed to be free in their expression and they should be not harassed.
We : How can we teach the children alphabets in 1 month?

Schooling:
Others: The system should be based on what the student has interest in. He should be given the choice to choose his optionals, and he should be given as much freedom as possible.
We: One curriculum, one pattern, and a fixed time to complete the syllabus.

Others: Education with visual aids helps.
We : That is expense.

Others: Learning through experimentation.
We : Labs are an expense

Others : Extracurricular activities are important. Sports are an essential part of student life.
We : We have a BIIIIIG 1400 sq feet area. The entire school of 1500 can play there easily. 1 person per square feet.

That is how the education system is here. The teachers are compassionate - about receiving their salary, and the students learn - by cramming, and the government keeps a check on the schools - by taking more bribes.

In India life is hell. You are born and then your thrown into a jail (read: school) and then you are competing against every other person. Comparisons made by the parents help too. And the competition among students is only in the field of "education". The student doesnt play any sport and by the time they are out of school, each one of them is a belly boy. Then comes career.

Career is life here. It is what your living for and it is worth dying for. Work hours include the entire day and fun for an office goer is an office party. The home is a lodge (not even a boarding room), the people come there only occasionally.

All of these above factors are being hard-coded into the person, with every generation forcing the next to cram more and earn more. This is leading to a robot like lifestyle with no friends and only aquaintances. God bless america you say? God save India.
