The Keys Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

The Keys

Rating: 4.9


[KEY.. a set of words contained in an answer...the mode of correcting the answer papers in a few state board examinations is by using these keys]

The examiner's work
made simple
the students intelligence
made humble

The answer to a question
made simple
the answer's relevance
made humble

The answer just need to have the 'keys'
so simple
the answer need not make any sense at all
so terrible

The examiner just has to look for the 'keys' in the answer
so simple
the examiner need not even know the basics of the subject
he is correcting.........so terrible

Dear Lakshminarayan, You have definitely expressed an unique problem in our education system though in a satirical way.I wish it draws the attention of some one in the authority.The simple words expressing so much deserves A 10(NO KEY FOR THAT) Rajkumar

In this fast life of the present generation, calculators and keys pay a significant role. For the previous generation, this kind of facilities were not there either for the students or for the teachers.
