 BLIND and DUMB entities   -2                 

Certainly, it is not my effort to launch insinuation against all stake holders.  Yet, it irks to note that time and energy are devoted to cosmetic peripherals like appearance, dress sense, smart looks while the all-too important element- enrichment of skill and knowledge the two facets of meaningful education seldom appear to be of any reckoning among these stake holders. All are delighted by the inflated scores 200/200 are even a bigger numerator than its denominator on a score card. Does it command any genuine awe or social esteem?

Hefty scores are viewed with skepticism if not with suspicion.   It means simply nothing, in the sense that every agency prefers a ‘screening process’ over that of PUBLIC EXAMINATION SCORES – a sad commentary about the credibility of such scores/ evaluation.

No one is ashamed of this indignation, for, all are aware  [at least inwardly] of the disproportionate distortion of scores with absolute gay abandon –if I may use the term.

What is it that the system achieves by churning out dwarf minds of tall scores –knowing well the fate of these boys and girls elsewhere?            

In plain terms, it is a comprehensive failure –not to have promoted comprehension nor nurtured the skills of comprehension –the most vital component in knowledge building.

Such a lackadaisical approach to learning would prove disastrous at all occasions where and when comprehension matters the most. 

In a nutshell, it appears a happy collapse in that all stakeholders are happy having achieved 100%.

Of them few know of the folly of the pursuit of senseless high scores. Aren’t they happily blind and dumb?
