for a goody-goody person like me who makes it a point to attend classes everyday...i just had the worst day when i bunked class for the first time in the past 2 years.I WAS CAUGHT and it was because the person who was teaching makes his appearence once in a week and also because 2 of my close friends in college also decided to bunk for various other reasons and it seemed as if it was a planned one...this bunkung happened on saturday and on sunday i got the memo and i realised that 6 of us had bunked the class that day.we went to meet our sir on monday who told us to meet ma'am and then enter class...we met her and she just said "u ned not attend any further classes but can write the exam"...wow!!!
on tuesday we were called and made to pay a fine of 100rs each.
i always had a good impression about my faculity but the way they behaved when they weren't ready to listen to our excuses and just told us to stay away from class really hurt me and cant they realise that they are playing with our future here???
this may sound very objective from my side but i dont think this is the way that faculity should behave...student's future should be their priority and should be ready to listen to excuses.

Education, Teaching and Teachers in India are quite different than other countries around the world.
The thing is if you happen to think from a teacher's point of view he/she is probably right. They would imagine that every one of us would have one reason or the other to 'bunk' a class. Some genuine bunkers' have to pay the price as a result.
On a different note I remember one of my teacher asking a friend of mine NOT to wear Tshirts to class. "Are you kidding me?".
Its a totally different family of teachers out there, this is what I found out from this part of the world.
Out here they are least bothered if you attend classes (and I cant imagine paying a fine to bunk the class out here). All they care is that you perform well.
If its about improving the situation back home - I dont forsee it in the near future. But then I believe its just a few eccentric fellaws who cause trouble ;)
@rajesh - yes, that is so true. Unless we change the mindset of the people and ask them to give some credit to students, see them as adults, things will never change back in India.
They should realise that learning is not just about 'sitting' in class. There is more to gaining knowledge than this.
