There seems to be a slight misunderstanding regarding the ‘exam’ and ‘testing’ context in this article. I don’t know if it is translated or was just poorly written.

Just to be clear, this awesome dad was taking his son to another town to appear for the 10th grade Math examination so that he does not fail the paper. Off-topic, but I am surprised that these exams are still being conducted. Most academic examinations are suspended as of now and may resume next month.

Anyways, though the situation was like this because most public transportation has been shut down, it is still a sad state of affairs - and I don’t know what to do about it nor what can be a solution.

Respect for this father who is striving to push his son at least a level up the economic ladder via education.

Decades ago, my father used to walk several miles a day to attend school. His dedication and hard work has probably pushed my family through 2 generations-worth of growth. I’d say we are upper middle-class in India right now. And I am eternally grateful to my family for their efforts.

Kudos to this father, and others who strive through utter misery to rise above the hand life has dealt them.
