“We don’t need no education, We don’t need no thought
control… Teachers leave us kids alone.”
Comfortably ensconced in India’s top b-school, we took pride
in treating this as our Anthem. Not just us- generations of students forming
the intellectual elite have taken perverse pleasure in shouting out the lyrics-
pretending for all it is worth that they are who they are despite their
education, not because of it.

Natasha - You make, as ever, an eloquent point. education is a real treasure and should be a right, not a privilege. It's so important to remember just how valuable learning and knowing are...
I have been reading really few blogs, and whenever I come across yours, I feel you're so awesome to explain a whole story in just about 100 words. :)
Yes! Education is a treasure for sure and our teachers are the crowing jewels!!

Since you are quoting one of my all-time favorite bands and my all-time favorite album of theirs...I couldn't agree with you more.
