A mass copying racket has been disclosed in Maharashtra. Now the exam season is in progress....10th standard, 12th standard, engineering and medical entrance tests. I just diverted my mind to this thing and got some insights on it.
Copying as we know it is just doin "control+c" on any topic we are not at all interested about.As applied to Indian education system, students copy here to win in the rat race. The roots of copying lie in the education system itself.To have superficial knowledge we need to rotelearn it. For example to LEARN Newton's first law...say it aloud thousand times till we forget the essence of that law. We just remember the music...the sound...the feeling of our breathing goin in and out. Which leaves us with a useless spiritual experience..:)."Nali funkli sonare ikdun tikdun gele vaare". Because of this the valedictorian students are "Parrots". They can RAP very nicely, let it be history or derivations.The other side of the coin , average IQ students use their mind for inventing various tips and tricks to compete with the parrot race.
We all start copying from the moment we start our education.We copy what is written on board in class into the notebook. And it goes something like this-A for apple, B for........till Z for zebra. Jus lookin at illustration of alphabet, very few can imagine how a zebra looks like. Then we advance to a stage where we "copy" after someone verbally reciting poems, tables, squares, ....All great big people are copycats. Even including me.(I ain't a big person till now..:)). All of us as human beings love imitating other people, be it for the sake of fun or to follow somebody as our role model. Its good in one way or other, as we try to incise our epidermis and do somethings which we will never do in our life.
But there comes a time when we copy it becomes "illegal" and we breach some rules of Indian Penal Code.Specially when done in a heated March classroom while vomiting our empty head out on blue lined board exam paper. If any copy squad on run observes your in-exam adventures you are "under arrest". Geli pariksha tula na mala ghal kutryala...:).
Copying in exam is an art and science in itself. The copylords boot-up their brain in creating a lot of novelty in creating tasks and techniques to help their followers clear the papers. Its very funny to watch how they carryout their tasks...to watch just tune in to any marathi news channel during exam hours....we can see live streaming...:)
This reminds me of a situation...I was writing my 12th standard Maths 1 paper. There is this fat guy sitting across me. This brave lad has brought a guide book with him. The duration is 2.5 hours. Now he starts with finding the 1st prolem in guide. He finds it atlast and writes it down. But....oops it took him 2 hours to search answer for a 5 marks question.....I do not need to tell you the outcome of it.
You can rotelearn anything but not mathemtics....you need to have a good brain for it ,,.,.,.,.If you have it you need not copy...I will call this Zunga paradox.:O lol...:)
