Don't Even Get Me Started On The Ranga's Marriage Wala Chapter - Tumblr Posts

I hate how our education system keeps on failing us, save for a few good teachers everyone else is in just for fulfilling the obligation to get the paycheck and students too have gotten so used to the shitty teaching methods that majority never really questions it. I have the English boards tomorrow and here i am ranting about how it disappoints me to see how chapters like 'Should Wizard Hit Mommy?'(this is one hell of a chapter and WE NEED TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT IN CLASS because it has so many layers and issues depicted in it) 'Aunt Jennifer's Tigers', 'The Rattrap', 'On The Face of It' and many more that are such great source to stir up very important conversations about male chauvinism, generational gaps, parent-child relations, normalised misogyny, miscommunications, human nature/psychology, grey morals, abelism, bullying, self identity etc etc etc etc being ridiculed and hated by numerous of students just because they have been treated like some silly stories and poems that need to be crammed for the sake of marks. I hate how teachers never try to stir up conversations about the impact these chapters have in our daily lives & thinking and make us question and have discussions about these stories and characters and their dialogues. The literature of our syllabus isn't only for entertainment and cramming, it's for provoking our thoughts and questioning things but alas they waste such great opportunities. (Seeing how most of our teachers aren't equipped with the skills to make use of these chapters in the right way, it's better to remove these chapters because if we don't have discussions about the issues depicted in them, it's just promoting and normalising those issues which isn't a good thing.)

Anyways, all the best for tomorrow guys!!! Hoping CBSE doesn't mess this up again for us :)
