No they are not infact they are miserable.  If we look at the money earned
from the common man against the returns we should be ashamed to be part of
this industry.  Which infact we are.

The problem here is those taxed with marking the student have abdicated
their responsibilities and left it to the networks to judge performance.
Hell now that 9% student can give himeself 90% part himeself on the back and
have a party to celebrate his performance.  Meanwhile the teacher is also
happy celebrating that his student has done so well.

What a mess we are in.
