Values..? what are they?

Today I had an interesting conversation with a final year engineering student. He was requesting a lecturer to spill out a few important questions in the forthcoming exams.He said it was normal in the University. It was also normal to get attendance even if he did not attend classes. Any rule could be twisted and turned if you were in favour of the Professors. In return the students would give positive evaluation and feedback about the professors.. As I listened in shock about this symbiotic relationship, I was sadder for the boy did not feel any remorse. Nor did he feel he was doing nothing wrong. It was the way of his world..It was 'normal'. I briefly thought of Abdul Kalam's speech on India becoming a super power in 2020. 

My India will never become a superpower unless the educators in the nation reform. Children and youth are not to be blamed. we adults, parents and teachers, are the criminals. The future looks dismal.
