I have seen situation in some schools where students give out text books to
scribes in advance for them to prepare.
Whether it's computer based or using scribe, students should be well prepared.
And in some cases, I have also seen lack of quality teaching in schools.
I cannot disclose something here but I'm really proud of students like Kartik!!
Thanks much.

I may look a bit awkward but may I be practical. I would regret if all the
moral lessons would only go for a VI in the world today.
I reckon this woman has been somewhat immature in feeling blackmailed by
inability/inefficiency of a blind person & counts herself a lot in her senses
of doing right & wrong. But if we look at the issue with various perspectives
of life, things may be seen in some other lights too.
It's my personal experience & have undergone. Some parents approached me to
get their VI child admission in some blind school in class 9th last year. I
ran toes from NAB Delhi to BRA, King's way, Panchkiya, Lucknow, Benaras, NIVH
Dehradun-there was no place for a blind boy to study. Irony today whereas is
that CBSE allowed this boy to go privately, CBSE relaxes the rules today in
schools asking no students to fail by Std.VIII, grade markings to destress
students.
In eastern UP, certificates are purchased on few thousantds, Railway recruits
are purchased & whole q paper solved & most illitwerate employed by paying few
lacs.
Is blind committing henous crime if this lady has helped him & made him
eligible to have education which even blind schools deny today? I understand
her conscience is still crude & needs maturation to go by the ways of the world.
