studying in shifts
by ravi nettem on Jun 15, 2007 02:10 PM   Permalink

There is nothing new in this. It had been done in Andhra Pradesh since ages. It is just a question of sharing the infrastructure of classrooms at different times. The evening college concept is the same. The classes are held in the evening. My college Andhra Christian College, Guntur had this concept from before Independence. We call them batches u call them shifts - morning shift/ batch afternoon batch / shift. The bonding. sense of belonging, the team spirit is not there. It becomes a conveyor system like in a factory. There are no games, going to the canteen, ogling at the other sex and whatever we do in college. The spirit is not there. All these institutions giving CAT GRE GMAT tutions also use this concept - hiring schools in the off hours so it is a use of empty infrastructure and a killing of the "joi de vivre" the life the spirit of educating oneself. It makes economic sense and a comlete loss of human spirit.A killing of growing up, teenhood. I pity those who have no oppurtunity to enjoy life like the way their parents did.
