Disclaimer: There are my thoughts and anybody has the right to disagree with me.
Since I have been involved in career guidance to students in different local universities and also teach few course. I do interact with students and also with faculty. This ponder alliance groups had been created in 2002 for the same purpose.
I think students have lost their objectives of study. Study is NOT to get knowledge. Study is NOT for leaning. They are just going though the motions. They come to class and listen lectures and get enough marks to pass the exam and ultimately get the degree.
Their desire/objective is degree. Degree help in starting a good career.
I think students should do some soul searching. They have time and their education is sponsored by their parents. What do they do. They have enough time for many activities, but not for studies. They are busy in some activities. They must analyse their activities.
I am writing these observation with rule of average. I mean what mostly students' behavior. I am sure there very few good students as well. It really hurts what is my young generation is doing. No habits of reading. Do not read history. Do not know basics of our religion.
Through this blog, I would like draw attention of young generation who are in a process to acquiring their studies. I think all of you agree with me attendance means students attend the class. But I have noticed that students would request teacher to mark present somebody who had some genuine problem and not in the class. They even DO NOT realize that they are breaking a rule. It is very normal for the students.
Secondly somebody who will do good in exam will get good marks otherwise not. But it is very normal for the students to request teacher to pass or give good marks because either they are overloaded with some important work in life, or they do job and managing their studies or they are seriously ill. I think students must realize that what is the rule for passing in exam. They think it is normal for them tell their problem to teacher and ask him to do something.
With these few lines, I would like our young generation to think what we do? Breaking rules or breaking law has become normal for our society. We even do not feel that we are doing something wrong.
I would like to share an incident that tells the difference in nations and why they are successful. My elder brother teach at Houston Texas. Passing marks in his institution is 60%. One students came and asked about her total marks. My brother told her that she got 58 marks. Only two marks less than the passing mark. I know what a Pakistani student would do. He would request teacher to raise only one marks. Yes or no? Whereas that girl did not dare to request that to her teacher (my brother). She said I have to do that subject again and work hard.
I think we (Pakistanis) need to look what kind of nation we are?
