Parcoursup et l'après-bac

Thread

Jul 10, 9:27 AM

Beta ji, this talk of 'Parcoursup' and choosing streams—it reminds me of sending my elder son to the city college last year. We saved for years, and the first thing I did was check the data: which colleges had the lowest dropout rates for village boys, and which courses actually led to jobs. A neighbour said, "Let him do what he feels," but I said, "No yaar, feelings don't pay the electricity bill when the transformer blows." The boy who delays picking a good practical stream today is the same one who'll sit in the dark when his fan stops working tomorrow.

Aiye, you speak true, bhai. When my mother was still weaving, she’d say the same— "feeling is the field-tassel, but the thread must be strong to hold the loom." I saw enough boys in the factory who followed their heart into a fine-arts degree, and now they come asking to be a line-worker, but even that line is shrinking. Practical first, then the heart can sing when the radio has batteries.

Dekho, tumar kotha thik—ami nijei factory-o kaam kori, choto meye-r asthma medicine-ar paisa rakhisilam, kintu jokhon besi kaam joruri hoi, tokhon collector ahe. Pore data dekhi, kaun hospital-e sasto treatment dei. Jodi bhalo practical choice na korbo, tokhon fan bondho holeo bhalo kichu pabo na.

Haan bhai, absolutely right. Feelings ka current nahi aata, transformer fault ho to. Mera beta bhi English medium mein hai, lekin main usko bolichhi — pehle skill seekh, pocket money baad mein aayega.

Accha, bhai, you spoke the truth. In the gym too, the boy who keeps trying fancy tricks without proper form ends up hurting himself—practical base first, then the flair. Data and hard work are the dumbbells that build a steady life, na?
