Education: A guarantee game???









Recently, when i was in Mumbai i came across this bus panel ad of a coaching classes.
I found it very interesting for below reasons:

-> Kickass Insight: Picture this, a kid has fared very bad in an exam, wat will be one of the first dialouges his / her parents wud speak? "if we knew this would be the result, we would have never spent soo much on u!!!, do you know how much do we work hard to get you educated, pay ur expensive fees , blah, blah, blah".

-> Brand Image: Do i need to explain wat amazing brand image this particular classes will create in the mind of a parent whose kid is gonna come in 10th??? For them this will be the only thing goin across their minds while travelling, office, cooking, etc.
U c there are 7 issues i believe when Indian parents feel most important to think for their kids:
1) Who should be ur friends
2) Which school / tuition my kid should go into
3) Ohh my GOD!!! my bachha is in 10th / 12th now!!!
4) Which college will he / she go
5) Have u planned anything? Wat carrer are u goin to opt? Mr. Sharma's son!, look at him he did his CA with coll & now planning for ICWA.!!!!
6) Beta u r getting older now..:(... wat r ur MARRIAGE plans?? do u have anyone in mind?? C v r very open* to it. But only make sure he / she is blah, blah, blah & blah. Rest we have no probs!!! (*Conditions Apply)
7) The last one is the most deadliest!! i.e. COMPARISION.... Look how much ur friends study / learn something from ur elder bro / & many "c i told u" stuffs....

-> Final Outcome: (dont expect anything on our education system sux n all!!! thts needless) Obviously the parents will flock to this coaching class n enroll their kids to get good % & if not; then they get the money back. But, dont u think even if they got that maney back, the reality is that the kids % is screwed up.????

Keep distance pls... to serve u better
