TUTIONS: AN ILLUSION

To everybody, who has suffered in the hands of tutions,

What on Earth are tutions?
Are they going to help us get the Padma Bhushan?
Is it going to help me walk through the 'Hall of Fame'?
Or is nobody going to give a damn about my name?

Parents say it is for practice,
but of course, that is just parental tactics.
We slog for two or three or even more hours,
but parents and teachers ask us to rote learn for four more hours.

Parents ask you to study for a particular time everyday,
but when we mention 'tutions' to get studies out of the way,
"That isn't studying," they'd say,
"That is just extra help for some days."

Is it schooling? Nope.
Is it studying? Nope.
Is it even a ray of hope,
to climb the studies rope?

So why do we waste our time,
on something that is worth less than thyme?
This question is being asked from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
but is always suppressed by parental tactic.

Hasta la Vista,
K
