Not bad after all

:)
that's the feedback i got...abt my story :) and i'm encouraged... :)
sorry for writing it in Kannada...that's the language i'm comfortable with...atleast to narrate the stories...but i'll try to improve my english skills.... :)

its been a week since i started writing blogs...and 3 posts is not a bad beginning....is it?
and some good feedbacks...:) and ofcourse my wife did her bit by advertising for this....:)
so a big thanks to her :)

long back on some orkut community...i had posted a thot...it was not entirely novel...but something that came about during one of my discussions with a very good frnd of mine....ofcourse the community itself was not the appropriate forum to post it...but all i wanted was that message to reach a large audience... :)

so i am re-posting that here:
During some context, ther was a discussion with my frnd...about the quality of the teaching in our engineering colleges...we had a debate...shud one sacrifice his high paying job in some software company to take up the job of a lecturere in some engineering colleges just because he wants to help the students? I dont think that is fair to expect from anyone....so then...do you let the quality of education go down? Even that is not acceptable...so what is the point?

I woud say...form a pool of ppl...who would, to start with, take up the responsibility of teaching one subject...in one engineering college to one class....now...its very common that the people working in some company would hav to frequently miss the teaching hours because of work pressure/meetings/onsite trips and similar reasons...thats where the pool comes in handy....

Just ensure that you have someone to engage in that teaching hour and the students dont miss the class...
But why bother at all? Why should we reach out to the students when there are professional and qualified lecturers doing that job?

I feel that in my stint with the software companies, there are so many aspects that are being inculcated into the employees...group work, team work, creative thinking etc etc...which are equally relevant to our college students...infact i feel that these are some basic attitudes that have to be developed even before someone comes into a working or professional environment...

So what exactly do i have in mind to change? next post...
