He talks about how exams and the ranking system can negatively affect a child.
The board examinations are on in full swing and one student's take on the whole examination system seems to have struck a chord with many on Facebook. A post shared by Humans of Bombay on the social networking site details a student's thoughts about examinations, literally an hour before he takes one of his finals.
"Exams are just another way to find the next 'Sharmaji ka beta,'" says the unnamed student on Facebook. In his post, he talks about the 2009 blockbuster 3 Idiots, saying that he hoped colleges would work differently post the film given its message. However, that didn't really happen. "We're still in the pressure cooker, and guess what? The dish is already burnt!" he says.
He goes on to talk about how exams, standardization, and the ranking system can negatively affect a child. He ends the post by sharing what he thinks may work as a solution to these problems.
