More than 1.4 million 10th graders are taking the tests at more than 1,200 high schools across the state. They face tremendous pressure because they must pass the exams to continue their education. Teachers and state education department officials supervising the examination caught hundreds of students who had smuggled in text books or scraps of paper for cheating. "It's virtually impossible to conduct fair examinations without the cooperation of parents," said P.K. Shahi, Bihar's education minister. He said it was not possible to monitor the 6 million parents and others who accompany the students to the examination centers. State authorities posted police at all schools where examinations were being held, "but we can't use force to drive away the parents," he said. Nearly two dozen parents were detained after they were caught helping their children, but were released after several hours.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/03/20/600-indian-students-expelled-after-footage-shows-parents-scaling-walls-to-pass/[/url] Holy shit.
I don't even, what, how does that happen? just, that's incredible :v:
Getting expelled is a little more than a fuck given.
They either REALLY want their children to pass or they want them to get the fuck out of their house into some other living place asap. Beyond that I lack words.
Thats the most beautiful thing i've ever seen in my entire life.
This is like something out of a fucking cartoon
now we know how zone became a doctor
really puts a new touch on "reaching the top"
Aren't you supposed to be inconspicuous when it comes to cheating? I can't imagine someone's parent breaking through a window in the middle of an exam and handing their child a textbook would be hard to miss.
this is what life is like where the stakes are highest and life to some extent rests on these things, if anything it's the broader context that's ridiculous
Have to admire those parents who climbed 3-4 stories up on the wall to help their children. But what the fuck were they thinking, climing up, clear as sky and NOT getting catch.
Did they think they wouldn't get caught? I mean surely someone would notice the mob of parents circling the school and go check out what the fuck is going on.
I've been told that the Indian education system is incredibly brutal. Putting too much pressure on students to succeed, especially based on a few tests, just incites cheating like this.
I really wish they'd gotten away with it. The real insane thing is the way the systemized examinations work, unfortunately there's no real alternative though.

I saw that on television. Apparently the invigilators and the police who worked there at that time are corrupt as fuck and accepted money from the parents so they would look away when they throw the answers through the window. It seems like they only started to act when cameras were involved.

Holy fucking stupid. If they wanted their children to pass they just wouldn't have cheated and made such a big scene while doing it. Now they fucked their children over. Good job.
talk about going overkill on the whole helicopter parent thing
Probably what's worse is I'm sure there were students in there who weren't cheating who got completely fucked out of their hard work because of these retards.
the only guy on the fourth floor is clearly the best parent

Holy shit. :v:[/QUOTE] Well 10th grade marks determine what subjects you can apply for in the final two years of education, and unless you get a required percentage here you'll have to settle for whatever the school lets you to study. So this often means that medicine or engineering can be right out at once, not that they're easy to get into either way. Entrance examinations for the colleges are rigged worse, and the competitive examinations, there's not a year goes by without some major scandal being unearthed and canned, usually to do with stealing of exam papers or forging transcripts. Last year they blew open a scandal in one of the entrance exams for the railway recruitment services; a bunch of folks were arrested for question paper theft, and that included the students who benefited. Even despite this, there's much in the way of scandals that go unremarked or unnoticed. [editline]22nd March 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Toy_Soldier;47371372]Holy fucking stupid.

Good job.[/QUOTE] except just passing is never enough, hell reasonably high grades arent enough either, it has to be A+ or A++ or honors by the end of the year and damn anything that gets in the way. Unfortunately it's become that cut-throat because there are simply too few college seats available for people to get them on merit, and this also encourages corruption when those are doled out; you can buy a seat in a college for varying (always high) prices under a so-called management quota. This also screws over the middle class and poorer families, who if their children happen to get not enough marks to make it on the basis of merit (almost always the case) they'll often get into frightful debt buying up seats on top of exorbitant college fees.
When schools put so much emphasis on testing that scenes like this happen, there's a fundamental problem.

When it comes to people paying bribes to get into a good [i]kindergarten[/i], just because they want a good head start, it's already crossed full retard and headed into absurdia.

It's nowhere near as unfair and pressuring but tests determining so much, colleges putting the future work force in debt.... It's crazy how society has created this weird sense of standardized merit that everyone need meet to be successful/happy. Education should be about understanding and knowing information useful to those that are uneducated, not focused on the end result of having been educated at all.

It's horrible and always leads only to regrets, save for those few callous individuals who praise their children for killing themselves as a sacrifice to their principles.

[QUOTE=proch;47374347]Isn't this like that everywhere?[/QUOTE] Not to this extreme, although other places, like china and I believe south korea are also rigerous
[QUOTE=proch;47374347]Isn't this like that everywhere?[/QUOTE] not really, schools here don't tell you what you can and can't study
