r u more than a mediocre statistic?

In today's hyper-selling universe that we live in ... you are all a part of the captialist casualities... instituitionalized thru your so called education... you have lost your voice to be somebody... to be a contender... u wouldn't step up against an injustice in school, college or on your neighbourhood .... coz it doesnt bother you.. it's not a matter of concern to you.... in the capitalist's world... Recession is when your friend loses his job.. Depression is when you lose your job...

The cultural dilemma of yesterday's tradition and tommorow's technology throws u in one of the greatest juxtapositions of all time...do i go home to make microwaveable sambhar and pressure cooked instant idlis... or do i see success in life coming from having to try making my Yuppie existance urn into ur averages DINS household..

Is being mediocre what life is all abt ... and is conformity the end of the rainbow... why on earth can u stand up for what is right... why are ppl so obssessed with your senior officer might see that as insubordination... why are students so freaking scraed of reporting to a higher authority their prof/teacher sucks... why do they just keep sucking up to him/her.. and not just lose it and tell somebody this absolute moron in real life who cant get a real job has taken to teaching!!!

It's my honest anaylsis on the whole teaching proffession.. in a demographic of 100 students in a school class room environment ... 3-5 might be brilliant ...and should mostly like be stalwarts in the profession of their choice... then there 10-15 real bright kids... they are passionate abt certain things ... but undue pressures from parents abt making em follow a career they are least interested will turn these ppl into chornic depressed individuals.. who's true potential was always down played... and they were only made to see their flaws and follies... then there's the 20-25 ppl whose lives started out with not many great expectations and they are cool with what they have ... then there's the crowd that brings out teacher's ... ppl who actually dont have the grey matter to come out at the top .. whose ego's wont let them take a menial ok paying job in the blue collar work force.. these ppl are so frustrated that they didnt turn into those super heroes with dream jobs that they once dreamt abt ...

they take a look at the students they teach .. see the passion and drive these kids have.. and cringe at the ppl they once were and the wasted chance they were given.. they are so freaking frustrated in life at being now where close to the reality they had once wanted to be.. they make it their singular duty to trample the spirits of these youngsters ... turn them into obedient lil puppy dogs ... that havent figured out that that disapproval and disagreement isnt the same as disobiednece........

these kids are so ..omg.. what if he flunks me ... he'll make my life living hell... they have enslaved themselves ..and confined their living to the lowest low of human existance...a mediocre non-entity... a statistic... a roll number .. a tax payer... an identity number... you have thrown away a full fledged human life ... flushed it down the drains of corporate mediocrity ...and made ur self a statistic...
