In many schools today, we find students categorically divided based on their marks/percentage…. The school authorities say that this is to make the students excel in the subjects more… they argue that the world is facing stiff competition and this is the right way to build them for the challenge…
The reason why this factor has started to bug me so much is that recently I heard of a school where students are divided into “clubs”!.... when a child score above 80% means: the child becomes part of the elite club and will be eligible for free snacks/lunch (sponsored by school)…. This is a demeaning, revolting… SKEWED value system: the school is imposing on its students!
Is dividing children on the basis of their capacity to perform / out perform the prescribed content … (an education system based solely on the memory capacity of children)…The right way to shape a child’s attitude or build the child to face life… guess only engineers, doctors, professionals will survive in this planet
I am not sure if I am fighting a lone battle… but I feel we need to give this system an overhaul…
Why should children be divided… children are the only living beings that mix freely without the inhibitions of caste, creed, class whatever… their innocence is the only way to overthrow the numerous evils that surrounds our society….dividing them early in their innocence equals breaking their virtue and incorruptibility.

They see a reality when we turn a blind eye
They listen while we merely hear
They speak out where we would evade
They seek the truth that we conveniently forget
Children dream the most impossible!
