An Education in Contrasts

A couple of days ago I renewed my acquaintance with a somewhat distant cousin. He currently teaches English, Telugu, and Sanskrit to college students, despite the fact that he studied mostly in a school where the medium of instruction was Telugu. He was reciting Longfellow and the Vedas with ease.

On the other hand I have witnessed a poor level of discipline, work ethic, and the desire to learn in the students here. Nearly every student wants to take a short cut.
