Dear I.C.S.E, you suck. sincerely, me:)

Yoooooo people!
sorry i've been..... not here.
but here i am!
ok. so. i am ANNOYED right n- hold up!
HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!!! (cue music) so 65 years ago, a bunch of old dudes signed a really long (and convoluted) bunch of papers they'd been busy writing for about... three years. yup. and then the constitution came into force and we became a democratic republic and everything went boom yeeehaaw. actually, they passed the constitution on 26th november 1949 and 'adopted'(no, it wasn't an orphaned baby) it on 26th jan 1950. BECAUSE in 1930, that was the date the congress declared we were an independent nation! (#fail) ah, wikipedia. where would we be without you? has anyone ever wondered why we have two national holidays related to our freedom from le british? (because the government is trying to confuse us beyond our general confusion at life) its because when we got independence from the british, we actually didnt have any kind of constitution. we were like a kindergarten class with no rules. or teacher. so then, because too many kids started getting play doh in their hair or crayons in their mouth or whatever, the oldest, nerdiest kids got up and made a bunch of rules, which we will follow for ever and ever! (yay) (by the way, too bad if you aren't indian. MWAHAHAHA)
so after that indecently informative history lesson, we can move on to what i was talking about before my brain so rudely interrupted me. im anNOYed. as some of you may know, im in the ninth standard. and in india, in the tenth standard, you give the Indian Certificate for Secondary Education examinations,(or the cbse's or ssc's) fondly called the board exams. so in one year, i will be giving these exams and be forever done with school. (yes eleventh counts as college cause we're that awesome) but none of this why im annoyed. no
so you would think that spending six hours studying in school everyday and approximately two to three hours studying at home everyday not to mention more than two whole months before the boards would be enough to pass. but no. some genius somewhere came up with the idea of creating a website called crackicse.com which has online quizzes on our entire physics, maths, chemistry and biology portion, and you need to do one or more of them every day or they tell your parents AND YOUR TEACHERS. and these quizzes actually count for twenty percent of our grade. and obviously, it is extremely easy to cheat on these so i dont even see the point. and i swear, if you tried doing the quizzes you would see what i mean. they contain a collection of the most bizarre, unhelpful, frustrating and unintelligent questions EVER. but it doesn't stop there. whichever genius thought making life harder and more school-centered for teenagers was a good idea, thought it was also a good idea to have distracting PORNOGRAPHIC ads on a webpage which requires students to think about the refractive index of diamond at the same time. do these people even think???? i mean firstly you are ruining kids lives by making them do more painful, HORRIBLE work than they already have to. and no, parents and teachers, i am not going to 'just be happy' because a)it doesn't work that way and b) i have absolutely no interest in this stuff! i do not want to do physics or maths! EVER! so just leave me the heck alone. i just finished another one of those stupid quizzes. and the worst part is that those suckers who came up with this whole thing must be SO proud of themselves. like, oh we're helping a bunch of kids crack their board exams! all the while ignoring the fact the fact that THE EDUCATION SYSTEM SUCKS! we learn nothing! literally, eleven years of schooling, we've become so textbook oriented that we can do nothing without pre written text. its just like that Phineas and Ferb song: they say imagination is mortally wrong.
of course, their brand of conditioned restrained imagination is perfectly fine. but thats all bullshit because two of my current teachers literally do nothing but read from the textbook. i am NOT kidding. she comes into class, opens the textbook and makes a kid read out loud. she never ever deviates. no extra out-of-syllabus info. and then you have these crack icse nutters quizzing us on the same, dead, boring crap. why dont they realize that for a generation of smart people they should make us THINK?? i am so sick of cramming lines of text into my head. and never applying it anywhere. and no one can even tell me why i need to know this stuff. the best answer they can come up with is 'to pass the exam'. wow. slow clap. im sorry but i dont want to spend half my life having my memory tested by unintelligent exams. id rather go exploring or something, and learn about random, amazing stuff that might be useful. YES. i am dropping out of school and going backpacking around the world. oh and crack icse, while you're trying to get kids to passthexampasstheexampasstheexam maybe you should think about trying to inspire kids to do something amazing. not irritate and bore the shit out of them so that they have no hope that their life could ever be fun and they get depressed hate everyone. you could say that kids will get depressed if they fail the exam but i assure you, those kids are not getting helped by your quizzes.
anyway, enough of this. in conclusion, you're unhelpful and you SUCK :|
sorry for a kind of angry/boring post. next time will be more funny, i promise!
