I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!

IIT experts called in to fix CBSE's glitchy re-evaluation portal. That one line tells everything about where we are. To be fair, OSM for Class 12, moving NEET to CBT, cutting re-evaluation fees. These are directionally good reforms. But the trigger for reform has always been crisis, and the execution has been consistently sloppy and dismal. The NEET paper leak was an appalling failure that can [potentially destroy a year for lakhs of students. And here's the thing. It definitely didn't need a paper leak to figure out CBT was safer. That was obvious years ago. The ministry just didn't move until it had no choice. Now CBSE launches a new digital correction system. A surge in re-evaluation applications was entirely predictable. Yet the portal collapsed. Deadline extended twice. 98 lakh answer sheets in the system. Students and parents in panic. Again. Mess with a student's future often enough and we don't create disappointment, but a generation of permanently alienated citizens, radicalised against the very state that was supposed to serve them. At some point of time, brazening out of such crisis will not be an option
