Question
Write your counterview in a paragraph on the topic 'Short cuts to success is not a wrong choice':
Use the following points:
- Followed by people with wrong principles.
- Quality of work will suffer.
- The result will not last long.
- Limitations to creative thinking.
Solution
On March 24, 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared a complete lockdown of the entire country in order to halt the spread of the corona virus. It had never happened before. While the closure of educational institutions was for the good of the nation, another issue arose. Online classes and online exams emerged as a pathfinder in the lockdown as a panacea for all of the problems that it brought with it. Students found it simple to disregard the morals of "hard learning," turning to cheating to pass with flying colours. Report card shortcuts for decorative success become the standard. Talent, IQ, memory tests, comprehension, and the capacity to retain learning outcomes all suffered. It demonstrates that memory-based learning and mindless memorization have a low take-up rate. How can we expect this generation of students to succeed in important fields like engineering and medicine? Actually, sincere pupils who wanted to outperform their peers in terms of marks also fell prey to bad ideals. Without a doubt, "the quality of education" was the casualty. Core competencies in critical growth sectors will suffer. There is no question in my mind. Parents frequently supplied free assistance to their children in order for them to get better grades.
