Frankly and honestly admitting, I performed very poorly in my +2 examinations. As a result, I was asked to study my graduation course in the vernacular medium instead of English by the college officials to which I didn't agree. But now, I hold a PhD degree along with 3 post graduations, UGC NET certificates in two subjects, few research publications to my name and presented papers in international conferences. All this, besides my present employment as assistant manager in SBI. Expelling poorly performing students can not be a solution in the education system. At the same time, punishing teachers with transfers due to poor performances of students is not correct either. Lot of other factors like infrastructure facilities, availability of study material, family background of students and even the attitude of students matter here. I should be corrected here. But weren't there any failures in the class of the great Sarvepalli Radhakrishna?
