amazing kids, sad system

Now to be honest, I feel a bit ashamed to have not thought up a few of these myself.

We say that kids live in a word of their own, away from reality.

The question is - how are most adults any different?

Our apathy is criminal.

Just look at what these kids think up.

If India has to grow, these kids should be rewarded with materialisation of their ideas, and sales thereof.

US, China and Japan have a innovation culture.
The kids make planes, robots, go to places, by the time they finish school.

Our kids, we burden them with SSC and HSC merit demands and demands for rank and 100 per cent scores and using that excuse do not allow them to experiment and innovate at the most creative period of their life.

With this bunch of results, we are truly exposed completely as a slave society.

That is what comes out as the obvious conclusion.

maybe when these students keep persisting,then they might come up with something commercially succesful.
seems edison went through 1000 prototypes before inventing electric bulb.

my suggestion is to have websites for such innovations.then ppl can decide whether to back them with cash.

but, it looks as if the aged politicians of the country will fully destroy the nation, thro corruption in all parties, even before the young generation grows up to adulthood.
