Except fora few changes to the system such as reducing the burden of books I think the Indian system is the best thing around, compared to the so called "American Universal system" A school going kid or for that matter even a college going student doesn't yet know what he want's to become until he grows old enough. If the school going kid doesn't like the courses and takes courses for a car salesman then he becomes a car salesman but when he grows up really to be a car salesman he thinks y he didn't study for being a computer professional of something like that. I too didn't like school at all but i just studied for the sake of studying as i didn;t understand what i wanted to be. but now I am in US working for one of the best company and looking back and now i have the zeal for what i do because i understand it. If i had another option at childhood to become a mechanic, I would have been a mechanic and would have no more options.
