Moral Policing

Whaddaya mean im not allowed to copy???

An NDTV report that i caught last night,really caught my attention.
Close to 15lakh,thats 60% of students writing the UP state board exam have cupped(tamil slang:flunked). Now a result that bad always calls for a serious overview of the educational process, and an indepth analysis of the psychi of the stuent body to find the underlying root cause.
And this is what they came up with.
They believe that the students werent allowed to copy enough!!(wtf rite? i is knowing )
This year, the Mayawati govt decided to rid the state of its ''SMS the answers to me during the exams" image, deploying strict monitoring policies.
The result?Half the junta decided they had enough even before the halfway period and decided om-shanti-om was more worth their time.And half of the half that did sit throughout the exam failed anyways.
First,in 1991, the BJP employed strict no cheating measures.The pass percentage dropped by 30 to 40 per cent.Then came the Mulayam government that relaxed the rules and thus the number of students passing the class ten boards again went up to almost 75 per cent.
Now with Mayawati in power, people will have to start studying again.
My heart goes out to these students.
(ps bitcha's from UP na? the 9 pointing secrets are coming out...)
