Stop Drop and Roll – Teacher’s New Mantra

Well with the event occurring with Focus baba were continuing to escalate i had my share of problems.

As it was our Final year of Engineering, all students had to complete their projects by then. So i had done the same but, a group of us had decided that our project was really innovative and, could be used in real time applications, so we got together and combined the project to make it a worthwhile submission and submitted the application to

NAUN ( North Atlantic University Union ) and IEEE ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) we got selected in both and got invited to WSEAS (The World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society)- its an branch of IEEE.  we got invited to the annual Conference  for Automatic modeling and simulation.  During the Registration the college rejected the application for Funding the Presentation, even when they knew we would be representing India and the Universities name, they brushed it off saying, we didn’t ask u to participate so we wont pay a dime. The Fee was quite large i could only register( other partners backed-out during payment as it was over a thousand $) in WSEAS category. The news spread that, we had got selected and i will be attending and presenting the Project in the conference, at the same time, we also herd that a Professor had also got selected and she was going to present her presentation there , She was a PHD and, i didnt even finish my engineering, all the responsive letters were written by the correspondence referred to me as DR or Professor. So some teachers pointed out that, i was misleading and could land up in trouble for not even being a graduate and being an undergraduate and have many backlogs left ( 4 )makes me under-qualified to even present a presentation to the Professors who are going to attend the conference. Some suggested i re-register the project under the name of a Professor from my University, so my registration will become valid, and i could be added as a sub author or assistant..etc shit. I didn’t like the idea of a teacher hogging up all the limelight or the credit for the work, WE have worked so hard on. So i wrote back some letters to the Wseas groups about my educational status, they wrote back, they didn’t care who was presenting as long as the idea was original and innovative.

So during my Internal examinations for my final year, i was again enquired about the status, that which teachers i had selected to sponsor and register his name. Then i showed them the letter i got from the ppl in wseas. And made it clear, i would be going, and if my partners can pay up their tickets they can come too ( the project was published with their names as Co-Authors and i was the Presenter representing the group, so i didn’t hog it all up). Then after few days, i had come to college to write my supplimentary examination, some students pointed out, that some teachers were asking around about me. i didn’t pay much notice as i had an supplimentary examination the next day too. When i reached home, i noticed my cellphone ringing and it was one of my head professors on the other end. He sounded quite stern and he quoted

<quote>” Who do u think, you are, that a student like, u can participate in such Confrence’s and leave us out of it, I will write a personal letter from the University claiming that you are a fraud and you have stolen ur Project In-charge’s Idea and Concept, Which will barre u from participating in any educational conferences and blacklist you in every north american and European Universities as a fraudster, If you don’t want this to happen you must re-register this project to your Project in-charge professors name and send me a copy of the name, If you don’t do it by evening will make sure, u will never get Admission in any other educational Institutions and placements in Software companies and make sure u spend few more years in the University” < /Quote>

and he hung up,  i was  surprised and shocked, and i started to put my mind on it, i  was’nt going to give in to pressure and such threats had little effects on me, so we started to hatch a new plan some parts i may not discuss on the blog as many r serious violations, desperate times had called for desperate measures and under no circumstances i was going to give in to any pressure, SP by some retard huge butt professor.

We had an urgent meeting between our group others also received the call from the same number, but i was the only one who answered the call. So i briefed up everyone and their parts they r gonna play in the plan, So the Professor had mentioned that i must register the project to my project in-charge, i knew the guy and he didn’t really care about the conference or anything and didn’t help us a bit, in building or designing the project, but before taking the step i wanted to reconfirm if he was involved aswell, so i gave him a call, he apparently was shocked that the other professors were using his name, to get thru me, he said, he has no knowledge of such matter or call nor he wants his name included in any work he didn’t do and said he will see the matter 1st thing tomorrow morning in the college.

Now i started Phase 2 of the operation, to arm ourselves with hard evidence. everyone of us were now equipped with Call recorders , audio recorders and Video Recorders, all concealed in our clothing and we went to have a face 2 face chat with the professor who called me , to make him say all the stuff he said on the phone call earlier, so we could tape it

My plan was to Gather the evidence, by 11 am, i had already talked with a lawyer on the matter, and i would be bringing the video and audio recordings to him, and we will lodge a complaint in court and the police station by  4 pm as the courts close at 5 pm, he can’t get a bail, and am sure he would be treated like a king inside the station , and during the time lapse of 11 am to 4 pm, he would be having a much greater time with us and other students, and as we have filed the case we would gain immunity and he can’t lodge a return complaint , until the 1st has been resolved, And by the time the case would be dealt with, he would be stripped of his title and degree and would serve sometime in jail for threatening students, which i think was perfect for him.

As soon as we got into the room the professor we found the project in-charge sitting in his room and he said i have no interest on being included in their project as I HAVE NOT HELPED IN ANYWAY and said count me out of this mess. And he left. The professor said ok, i have nothing to say to u, do what you please.  Write ur exams well and pass out.

Well, we didn’t do anything , as the matter had solved itself, calling up the Project in-charge saved the professors skin or we were ready to strip him off his skin n title in public.

 

finally about the education system in india, it stinks, teachers and professors r misusing their power on students for their own benefit and will ,they take us for puppets that they can Stop, Drop or Roll us and juggle our career’s  according to their wishes. Unless we take a stand and draw a line this will keep on escalating. if he had sent that mail, our reputation had been tarnished and, we would be barred from masters education outside, india .

Sending the letters again wouldn’t have helped as its easy to loose an image but rather hard to regain it, I didn’t want to pull it further as he said, he didn’t send it yet and we didn’t him to say it all over again, as he didn’t want to talk , maybe it was a hollow threat or not, i don’t know, but if he had done it,

i was going to pay him back with intrest for Sure.
