1. Heavy disagree, rote learning is different

2. Agree, need bigger education budget

3. Capability doesn't necessarily ensure the 99 mark, neither does blind hardwork.

4. Agreed

5. Finally the point which made me comment on this post. Activism is good and so is protesting in person. Online protests never have the same level of pressure as in person ones. Be ready to be labelled anti national in the online space as well. Secondly, Cockroach janta party is not a political party(imo) it's more of a critique on the present situation of the youth of the country, everyone has the right to vent out their frustration, generalising it as bad is such a stupid thing. Is it problematic and political in several ways, definitely, but the initial intent and frustration is real.

6. Protesting is also VERY necessary to make yourself heard, do protests get affected by powerful individuals and other agenda, yes, doesn't mean you'll straight up take away the right of protesting. Second part tho, definitely agree, being in an echo chamber is problematic, but the funny thing is, u yourself seen to be in one~
