The Letter is as follows:

******************************

Hello Loy.

As a person who had actually contemplated suicide at one point and an OOEHS CBSE dropout, I loved your video addressing the Indian High school. Completely agree with your views as well. There is a serious problem with the system of education and there always has been. If there was anything that CBSE had instilled onto me was the fact that education was a chore than a privilege. I was labelled 'weirdo' by all my classmates and the name calling was even continued during classes. What shocked me the most was the fact that the teachers knew but didn't really take any action. I had complained a couple of times as well but that didn't really help. It also affected my "studies". Forced to take tuition classes where the tuition teacher cared more about her salary to feed her children so that they can go to a good CBSE school than actually help me understand.

Loy, this is ridiculous. After seeing some of your videos, I feel that you HAVE an ability to make a good change to the society. I know that it is close to impossible to change this "System" , as it has already rooted itself into Indian customs. But the least that the schools can do is get smarter people to teach in classes. People who care about the subject. People who don't give a shit about grades, but about learning. I'm in the University of Wollongong in Dubai right now. After dropping out of CBSE, I had moved over to India to an IB school. Coming back to Dubai, I feel that I am surrounded by idiots. I'm not trying to be cocky here, the point I'm trying to make is that people who came from the CBSE board and topped their exams are now failing because University life demands actual implementation of knowledge than just memorizing. I also don't mean to generalize, there are a few people who do quite good but I'm referring to the majority.

I don't know why I'm writing to you, I don't even know if you'd be reading this or would have time to read this. The idea of the message seems redundant as well, you must have heard it a million times. I might as well send it through though, I guess as salvation for myself. I wish I got those years back that I wasted off in CBSE. I could have done so much more in my teenage years. I know for sure that I wouldn't send my own kids to a CBSE school, but for the sake of parents who would in the future, please do SOMETHING to kick the dumb useless teachers out!!!
